Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this location, everyone was friendly and helpful!"

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good

"This place is pretty centralized to most tourist spots in San Diego. Unfortunately that means traffic is a congested during peak hours. The parking is okay. There is one way in and out, so make sure you park your vehicle for easy exit. No free breakfast, only free coffee/tea, but there is a "living room" where snacks can be purchased. The noise level in the room is pretty high...sounds from the other rooms, footsteps above, conversations, and exterior people noise. The staff was pleasant and they were able to accommodate our request to have our 3 rooms in the same bldg. There are 3 levels for each building and an elevator in each one. The elevator is tiny, maybe 4 people with no luggage. We were in SD for a quick weekend event. The property is on the older side, but it fit our needs- a bed and a shower and nothing else. The best thing-they had multiple large ice machines! Cheers!"

Comfort Inn San Diego Old Town

8/10 Good

"During our recent stay at the Comfort Inn Old Town San Diego, we experienced what can only be described as the gold standard of customer service. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted by Wendy, whose warmth and professionalism set an incredible tone for our entire trip. Wendy is a rare find in the hospitality industry. She didn't just check us in; she welcomed us with a genuine cheerfulness that made us feel like valued guests rather than just another reservation number. She handled our check-in process seamlessly, ensuring we were settled into our room without delay. Before we even had to ask, she provided detailed information regarding the local area and hotel amenities, anticipating our needs perfectly. Her demeanor is exceptionally bright and welcoming, providing the highest quality of service with a smile that is clearly backed by a passion for her work. Wendy is the type of employee who should be highly praised and deeply appreciated. She is a credit to the Comfort Inn brand and a primary reason we would recommend this location to others. Management should take great pride in having someone of Wendy’s caliber on their team. If you are looking for a stay in San Diego where you are treated with the utmost respect and care, look no further than this hotel, and hope that Wendy is there to greet you!"

Hampton Inn San Diego/Mission Valley

6/10 Okay

"The room was fine, and the staff was helpful. Didn’t really use much other than the room itself. Was truly annoying to have the water shut off from 10am-4pm both days we were there, though. For most, that may not have been an issue (out sight-seeing or what have you), but we just needed a place to relax after a long week of driving. Things happen, of course, but it made our stay less relaxing than it was supposed to be."
