Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego is a luxury resort hotel located in Downtown San Diego that features Top of Hyatt Lounge and Bar with a spectacular view 40 stories above San Diego Bay.

Perfect location right beside seaview harbor, USS Midway, and convention center. The room was nice, though queen instead of double beds would be better. Views are nice but be aware that a full bay view may not be to your expectation and is quite subjective in terms of what you like. The corner suites are the best if you can get them.

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!

    Enjoy taking the trolley ride around San Diego different sites and the best part you can get on and off the trolley .For one low price I recommend that for everyone who visits San Diego. Also Howdy the trolley driver was excellent as well as the other they know so much history of all the places they showed us.Thank you

    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.

    I was in San Diego for a conference in the convention center. I was looking for an affordable place which is close to the center. With this accommodation I found exactly what I wanted. My room was really big and offered everything I needed. Also that the hotel is situated in the gaslamp quater was really nice, since you did not have to walk too far at night after dinner and drinks. Finally, I think the staff is doing a really great job! They were super nice and helpful, always in a good mood and made you a feel safe and welcome.

    I stay in San Diego every weekend, since my son is at Rady's Children's Hospital. I have tried three different hotels near the hospital, and this one stands alone. The staff is warm and inviting, the property is impeccably clean, the beds are dreamy, and I love that the location is optimum. Since Hampton Inn isn't part of the Hotel Circle collection, it's more quiet and there are no seedy locations around it. Henceforth, this will be my choice for my weekend trips to San Diego.

    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!

    This hotel is is located just a few miles from Sea World and numerous beaches! First time in San Diego and we were very pleased with the room! Hotel staff is super nice and friendly. There are picnic benches, 3 pools, and paid parking at the hotel. The Gaslamp District is just a short drive away as well. I’d definitely bring my family here again!

    I had a great stay at Del Mar Beach Hotel. This was my first time staying here and it will be my new default stay in San Diego. The room was nice and clean and - most importantly - comfortable! I could stay in that bed all day. The location cannot be beat and the lounge on the water was really nice and useful. I look forward to my next stay!

    The hotel is well located in the north of San Diego. The center can be reached with the trolley green lane (although the stop is not so close). The room was large and overall clean, although some maintenance is needed. The swimming pool outside is also nice (but small and during my stay I did not exploit it too much (see below)).

    Having stayed with Extended Stay America numerous times in various cities, I have come to know I will always enjoy a pleasant, clean facility with a small kitchen. This property in San Diego far exceeded my expectations. It starts with a great location on Hotel Circle, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.

    the rooms were very clean and spacious, the fact that the hotel had its's own parking was part of the reason I selected this hotel. Location wise it was fairly good, I liked that I was maximum 10-15 minutes away from the places I wanted to visit like La Jolla, Balboa Park, Downtown San Diego.

    Just stay somewhere else, I heard Hotel Circle is nice in San Diego. This place isn't worth the price, for the amenities that are falsely advertised. Honestly, they're are alot of shady residents that live at this motel as well. Too much traffic and late night owls.
