Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are a little small but very clean. Most of the staff were friendly and location is great!"

Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

6/10 Okay

"It was an okay stay. From the pictures of our room when booked, it showed a kitchenette. When we arrived, no kitchenette. I don’t like false advertising. The room was okay. We had little gnats and bugs in the room and that was not okay. Elevators not working. It was very noisy around the complex. We heard screaming from someone and yelling from the clean up staff throughout the property. Checking in was good. Check out efficient. It was an expensive stay for the quality of hotel. Very crowded probably due to a lot of people on vacation. "
