Hotels with great access to San Diego Zoo!

San Diego Zoo

This world-famous zoo is as good as it gets. Stand to attention with meerkats, monkey around with macaques and hop on the cable car to glide above it all like the mighty condor. One tip: pay up the extra dollars for a Backstage Pass – you’ll get up close and personal with cheetahs and rhinos!

    We opted for the Safari Park this trip -- more spread out...

    We opted for the Safari Park this trip -- more spread out and fewer folks... delightfully close to the animals. Hours of fun and so many steps. The ticket now includes the train/tram around the Africa exhibits. A great day

    Zoo was awesome but it is so large.

    Zoo was awesome but it is so large. We gad a hard time getting to see everything due to it’s size and all the other walking we had been doing on our trip. We left before we were really ready or saw everything.

    Best zoo in the world. Hard to see in one day.

    Best zoo in the world. Hard to see in one day. If there is any possibility that you will be returning within the year, highly recommend the package deal. It is expensive, but like I said you will want to spend more than a day here to see everything there is to see!

    San Diego zoo was great.

    San Diego zoo was great. Friendly staff, always helpful,never afraid to show you things or ever walk you to where you needed to be. The grounds themselves were very clean and the animals all looked very comfortable in her habitats.

    San Diego Zoo is one of the best zoo's we have ever been to!

    San Diego Zoo is one of the best zoo's we have ever been to! It is HUGE. You surely cannot complete the entire park in a day - and if you can I commend you! We sadly were only able to complete half of the park in the day that we had at the zoo, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a camera along to take pictures of some of the most amazing animals in the world!

    The style of the hotel was nice, specifically the bathrooms. The location was also decent, as I was able to walk to Little Italy, the San Diego Zoo, and downtown San Diego.

    Really nice hotel. It was a short drive to San Diego Zoo, which was the reason for our stay. The courtyard area with the fire pit was a nice touch, even if it was too warm to use it while we were there. Breakfast looked good with a nice selection of hot and cold items, although we didn’t have time to sit down and eat. The room was clean and the king bed was very comfortable. The shower had really good water pressure and the temps stayed pretty steady. The full kitchen came in handy for in room meals.
