Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
Staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego was an absolute delight. The hotel is immaculately clean, and every staff member went out of their way to make us feel welcome—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The ocean view from our room was nothing short of breathtaking; waking up to that vista was a highlight of the trip. The only minor drawback was the separate parking fee and the slightly inconvenient layout of the parking facility, which required a bit of walking to access. However, given how exceptional the overall experience was—especially the comfort, service, and stunning views—this small inconvenience didn’t take away from the enjoyment. It’s a top-tier choice for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located stay in San Diego.

Best Western Plus Bayside Inn
The building doesn’t look impressive from the outside, but the rooms are surprisingly spacious and well-maintained—definitely more than expected. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast package, which included a variety of fresh options we didn’t anticipate at all. It made our morning so much better. The only downside was the $30 parking fee, which is a bit steep, but considering how close the hotel is to downtown San Diego and the waterfront, it’s worth it for the convenience. Overall, an excellent stay with great value, especially for travelers who prioritize location and comfort.

The location is unbeatable—just a 10-minute walk to the Midway Museum, making it super convenient for exploring downtown San Diego’s highlights.

The Pacific
Staying at The Pacific Hotel was an absolute delight—every single detail exceeded expectations. Located just a short walk from the beach (about 100 feet!), we enjoyed effortless access to ocean views and seaside relaxation throughout our six-day stay. The location is unbeatable, and parking was convenient and secure. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. Our room featured a brand-new bathroom with abundant hot water, plenty of towels, and top-notch comfort—the beds were plush and perfectly supportive. The pool area offered a serene retreat with stunning ocean vibes. One small note: the building isn’t very soundproof, so if you're sensitive to noise, packing earplugs is a smart move. And for food lovers—don’t miss Oscar’s! There are two locations nearby—one just a few streets away and another on Turquoise Street. These spots are significantly larger than other outlets and serve some of the best tacos in town: the steak flour tortilla burrito and spicy shrimp taco are must-tries. A truly memorable stay all around.
Urban Boutique Hotel
Staying in the heart of Little Italy made this hotel an ideal base for exploring the area. It’s just a short walk to restaurants, and the bus and trolley stops are conveniently close—perfect for getting around without a car. The room is compact but spotless, with essentials like a hairdryer and iron included. While room service wasn’t part of the package, it didn’t matter much since I was only here for a brief visit. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for solo travelers looking for a quiet, clean, and well-located stay in San Diego. Great value and a cozy vibe—would definitely return if passing through again.
Gaslamp Hostel
I'm giving this place a solid 5-star review! The hostel is clean, welcoming, and perfectly located for exploring downtown San Diego—super easy to get around by public transit. That said, I do need to mention something that concerned me during check-in: the front desk staff asked for my credit card, wrote down all the information by hand, and even removed the CVV protection sticker on the back of the card. It felt really risky and made me uneasy about potential fraud or misuse. While everything turned out fine, I’d strongly recommend the team reconsider this practice for guest safety and peace of mind.
Pendry San Diego
Staying at Pendry San Diego was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—right in the heart of downtown San Diego, yet close enough to the beach for a quick morning walk. Everything about the hotel worked flawlessly: the room was spacious and beautifully designed, the Wi-Fi was fast, the air conditioning ran smoothly, and the bathroom amenities were top-notch. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and efficient service—always ready to help without being intrusive. From check-in to check-out, the experience was seamless. It’s rare to find such a high level of comfort and attention to detail in a modern urban hotel. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego, especially those who value style, convenience, and quality.
The Westin San Diego Bayview
The Westin San Diego Bayview is an absolute gem! The front desk staff went above and beyond—when I realized I left my watch in the room after check-out, they immediately reissued my key card so I could retrieve it without any hassle. The room itself was brand new, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a short walk to the waterfront area with great views and plenty of scenic spots to explore. Santa Fe Depot is literally right around the corner, making train trips to Irvine super convenient. Being in downtown San Diego means getting around is easy—whether taking an Uber or hopping on the Trolley, everything is within reach. This hotel offers excellent value, top-notch service, and unbeatable convenience. I’ll definitely be back!
