Property was beautiful. Staff was extremely nice and very efficient. We had a late arrival and our door lock was broken, they were there within three minutes and fixed it. Every time I called for towels, extra coffee someone came immediately. The grounds are impeccable. Loved the koi pond and waterfall! We’ll be back.

FAQs about hotels in San Diego

The Art of Easy Living

Sweeping along the coast against a mountain backdrop, San Diego has easy living down to a fine art. Its wonderful beaches and mild climate make it a favorite spring break destination, and with over 40 city breweries, there are plenty of ice cold beers to set the mood.

The city’s most recognizable landmark is the Hotel del Coronado, a wooden Victorian beach resort, now a National Historic Landmark. As original Spanish mission and first in California, it's has been relocated to the Mission Valley area, and Old Town San Diego still has many Colonial buildings and quirky shops. Also great for shopping are Horton Plaza and the boutiques in the beachfront neighborhoods.

The city’s most famous attraction is its zoo in Balboa Park, a few blocks from San Diego International Airport. One of the world’s largest zoos, it is well worth a visit, as is the fantastic SeaWorld, home to several killer whales. To see wildlife in its natural habitat head to La Jolla beach where harbor seals rest, or watch whales in season from Point Loma Lighthouse.

Just over the border from Mexico’s Tijuana, San Diego has a distinctly Latin American vibe and a variety of accommodations encompassing apartments, motels, B&Bs and hotels. See Booking.com for the best deals.

    Loved the Seaport Village - so many small shops and great food locations. Highly recommend Edgewater Bar & Grill For breakfast i would go back to Swami's Cafe - fantastic pancakes, the selection of endless coffee was amazing. And the service was awesome. Donut Bar next door is a must for when we go back the size of the donuts!

    Great city, steal is $2.50 airport bus to close downtown every few minutes (traffic currently bad returning to airport due to Terminal 1 construction, give a little extra time that direction). Weather nearly always great, city & Bay lively & entertaining, great food options often reasonable. Coronado island great contrast, if you have some time. Pacific side picturesque island beach a 30-40 minute walk or 10 minute bus (also $2.50) from ferry station (pricier $8 / bay ride & the 1 ticket machine on island not working when I was there 11.05.23, had to fast book online with additional small booking fee to catch ferry back). My favorite convention city with all the above and convention center next to the bay and historic Gaslamp District.

    I hadnt been to San Diego in over 20 years and was able to sightsee a bit more on this trip albeit we mostly only drove through several areas like Chula Vista and Coronado. Walking around Old Town was great seeing the historic buildings and shops, of which some are still utilized, and learning about the families that resided there, their magnificent homes and businesses. We hesrd the hotel and church were haunted, but they weren't open. La Jolla Cove was the only other area where we got out to walk and view the beach, seals, and seagulls, which were amazing. We didnt get a chance to go to the Safari Zoo, museums,, or shops, but hopefully will get to next tine. We also drove 20 minutes out to Jamul Casino and was in awe of how beautiful and clean it was. Slots were tight so it was a quick visit.

    We love San Diego as a destination.

    We love San Diego as a destination. La Jolla is especially charming and the oceanside area is stunning. (It was entertaining to watch the seals and their young from the cliffs). We did not swim - however many others did. There are so many restaurants to choose from and most are fantastic. There is a lot of shopping !! La Jolla has a plethora of unique stores that are fun to browse and buy from.

    Lovely hotel with a great location in Little Italy. Walking distance to the waterfront, Downtown San Diego and Balboa Park. 3 blocks away from a trolley station. 10 minute car ride to the airport. The area is awesome, feels very safe at night with plenty of movement (though the room is quiet so no problem getting a good night's sleep). Many restaurants and coffee shops nearby which provide great options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Room size is OK and a microwave is included. A/C unit working. Friendly staff.

    Location is great if you want to be in downtown San Diego. There is a good coffee shop on the corner and the hotel is a 15-20 minute walk from tons of restaurants and the waterfront. Close to the airport too if you have an early flight, as we did. It was clean and comfortable, I was impressed especially given the price. Staff was super accommodating, allowed us to check in 2 hours early + store our luggage and was super nice about it!

    We often stay at this hotel. It's the best deal in San Diego. It's not upscale or fancy, but always exceptionally clean and just a very nice cozy room. The grounds and common areas are very nice, the rooms are large some with kitchenettes and all with fridge and micro and dining table. This time our room had new carpet which was nice. Also, we didn't book a room with a kitchenette, but we got one :-).

    I live in San Diego and have friends that stay at hotels in Mission Valley/Hotel Circle area. This hotel is super expensive - they charged an extra booking fee at check in. Anything from their "market" was 5x more expensive than other hotel markets/restaurants in the same area. The landscaping and pool was beautiful - good for kids but super expensive!

    The property is located in The Hotel Circle region of San Diego and there are probably 50 other properties in this area. This area is real close to downtown, the beaches, Old Town and is in beautiful Mission Valley. Lots to do and great value for this property.
