Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this hotel because it was close to our cruise port. Perfect walking distance and I loved that they will hold your bags after check out. Great property."

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"I stayed 4 nights and would book here again. The central downtown location is very convenient to local attractions. I felt very safe with the card key system and the restricted access parking under the building. I had a lovely view from my sliding door to balcony room, a rarity in newer hotels. The breakfast was really tasty and fresh which is one of the important features to me when I choose a hotel. I didn't rate with 5 stars only because the 1960s building, while well maintained, is showing its age such as the Las Vegas carpet in the hallways and the rooms could be a little more spacious. But overall, I enjoyed my stay here."

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property. Front desk staff was helpful and fun. The restaurant food was delicious and I had an amazing dinner there (must try the sticky pudding dessert) and breakfast every morning. The best part of the restaurant was every morning Christina was bright, cheerful, and a true joy to be around. I had one less cup of coffee thanks to her great energy."
