Hotels near Horton Plaza, San Diego

Not a typical pineapple hotel. No real Lobby or nice place to hang out. I’ve stayed at many others and this one was odd

From the time we made our reservation online, it started as a 10 and never went down. This venue is all about people and relationships. We received an email with a personal message asking if there were any special requests? We arrived in town early and texted to ask if we could get into our room several hours early—enthusiastic yes. People were all friendly and helpful—going out of their way to engage us, introducing us to the in-house artist and tell us about the hotel. Breakfast was the BEST we have ever had at any hotel—buffet style with cold and hot options including eggs, two meats, seasoned potatoes and biscuits and gravy, and much more!

Apartment comfortable with everything you would need. Front desk stuff was helpful. Parking was gated and safe. location was central to everything we wanted to do.

The location was amazing. It’s in the heart of the Gaslamp District. The main reason for the visit was to go to a Padres game. It’s close to Petco Park and countless bars and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again.

Everything was Clean, minimalistic decorated. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. The Amenities such as pool, gym and sauna was very clean and beautiful.

Gaslamp Plaza Suites is right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, so you're literally steps away from all the bars, restaurants, and nightlife. Being in the middle of the city does come with a bit of the usual city stuff—some noise, a little grunge—but the location is super convenient if you're looking to explore downtown. The hotel felt really safe, which I appreciated. There’s valet parking right out front, and the lobby doors lock at night—you use your room key to get in and to access the elevator, which was a nice security touch. The front desk staff was great—super friendly and helpful. I mentioned my room felt a little small, and they didn’t hesitate to upgrade me to a Junior Suite. It was awesome! Really spacious, with a comfy queen bed, a full living room, and even a kitchenette. The living room had a sofa that pulled out into a bed, which would be perfect for kids or extra guests. The kitchenette had a microwave, fridge, sink, and everything you’d need—plates, glasses, utensils, wine opener, sponge, dish soap, even a drying mat. Great setup if you're traveling with family or just want to save your leftovers. The bathroom had a big oval tub and those wall dispensers with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, plus hand soap and lotion by the sink. There was also a small dining table, chairs, and a desk, which made the room feel super livable. They also held our bags after checkout so we could wander around a bit longer without dragging our stuff around. Really appreciated that. Overall, the hotel was clean, had a unique vintage feel that made it stand out, and still offered all the modern essentials like a hair dryer and ironing board. You could stay somewhere more basic, but this place actually feels like a vacation. Highly recommend if you want something comfortable, memorable, and close to everything. TIP: Use the Hop On Hop Off Trolley to explore many of the local attractions.
