The Dana on Mission Bay
This was my first stay at The Dana on Mission Bay, and I was genuinely impressed—better than I expected. The location is fantastic: super convenient for driving around San Diego, and just a short walk from SeaWorld. On the first day, I noticed some noise from the nearby highway, but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately offered to switch me to a quieter room—no hassle at all. The new room had a beautiful view of the harbor, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and well-maintained, with modern amenities and clean, comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The only downside? Parking is $29 per day, but given how central the hotel is and how great the service is, it’s totally worth it. I’d absolutely stay here again if I’m back in San Diego. Highly recommend this gem!

Staying at the Courtyard San Diego Old Town was an absolute delight! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, even offering two 200ml bottles of water upon arrival—such a thoughtful touch. Parking was a breeze too; we could park for free right on the street next to the hotel, which saved us time and hassle. The location is unbeatable—walking to Old Town Square in the evening was effortless, and we were right in the middle of the vibrant Día de Muertos festivities. The streets were alive with colorful decorations, live music, local food stalls, and festive energy. It felt like being part of a real celebration. Everything about this stay—from the service to the atmosphere—was perfect. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Diego, especially during cultural events like this one.

My stay at Howard Johnson by Wyndham San Diego Sea World was absolutely fantastic! The hotel is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the bathroom was well-maintained with all necessary amenities. I was especially impressed by the in-room facilities: a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and even an iron—everything you need for a comfortable stay. What really stood out was a small but meaningful gesture: I accidentally dropped my rental car key late at night, but found it neatly hung on the car handle the next morning. That little detail gave me so much confidence in the hotel’s security, especially when traveling with family. Breakfast was simple but delicious, and overall, the value for money was excellent. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego looking for comfort, cleanliness, and peace of mind.
