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.

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.
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!

Breakfast was surprisingly good for an American chain—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and great value. Everything about the stay was top-notch: clean rooms, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting San Diego, especially those who want a comfortable, central base with a great breakfast and easy access to major sights.

And if you're a pop culture fan, the Comic-Con Museum is an absolute must-visit. Everything about this stay was top-notch—from the spacious rooms to the thoughtful touches throughout the property. This isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s a refreshing escape with great local flavor. I’ll definitely be returning.

This Motel 6 location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the aircraft carrier and Museum Park, making it perfect for travelers who want to explore without renting a car.
