Sheraton San Diego Resort
The Sheraton San Diego Resort is absolutely stunning—truly a gem. Even though it's close to the airport, there’s zero noise disturbance, making it surprisingly peaceful. The location is incredibly convenient for driving to nearby attractions, including the charming Italian-inspired village just minutes away. Check-in was seamless thanks to the friendly and helpful front desk staff who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. But the real highlight? The sunset views from the property—breathtaking, golden light reflecting over the ocean, perfect for photos and quiet moments. It’s rare to find such a serene yet well-connected resort. Highly recommend for travelers seeking comfort, beauty, and easy access to everything San Diego has to offer.
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.
Residence Inn San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter
Staying at Residence Inn San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter was an absolute highlight. The moment I walked in, I felt a sense of calm and space—perfect for some well-deserved 'me time' before diving back into the daily grind. The location is unbeatable: steps away from downtown energy, yet quiet enough to truly unwind. I highly recommend exploring the nearby Japanese Friendly Garden—it’s serene and beautifully designed. Don’t miss House of International for a taste of global cultures, or the San Diego Museum of Art if you’re into creative inspiration. 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.
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!
Residence Inn San Diego Downtown/Bayfront
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 hotel itself is well-located near the bayfront, with easy access to attractions and public transit. 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.

The room was incredibly quiet, with excellent soundproofing—perfect for a restful night's sleep without any outside noise. I loved how close it was to downtown attractions and public transit, making it super convenient to explore the city. The breakfast spread was impressive—fresh, diverse, and delicious, especially the local-style pancakes and freshly squeezed juice. The staff were warm, attentive, and always smiling, making me feel truly welcome. From the moment I arrived to the moment I checked out, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. If I ever return to San Diego, this will be my top choice without hesitation.
Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

I loved how easy it was to explore the city on foot, and the vibe of the area is so vibrant and fun. The room itself was spacious, stylish, and perfectly themed with that tropical Margaritaville flair—cozy, clean, and full of character. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from day one. It’s rare to find such a great mix of style, comfort, and convenience in one place. For anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed yet exciting getaway without being far from the action, this hotel is a top pick. Definitely coming back!
Motel 6 San Diego, CA - Airport - Harbor
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. The room was larger than expected, especially the queen bed and bathroom, which felt spacious and well-designed. Hot water and free coffee were a nice touch, especially in the morning when you need that boost. Being right off Highway 5 means easy access and plenty of free parking, which is a big plus for road-trippers. It’s clean, quiet, and offers great value for the price. If you’re looking for a no-frills, reliable stay near the airport with a solid location and basic comforts, this is an excellent choice.
Club Wyndham Inn at the Park
This was a perfect choice for a family trip to San Diego. My daughter and I stayed in a spacious suite, and we couldn’t have been happier. The room layout is fantastic—two large bedrooms, a shared bathroom connecting both, a full kitchen, dining area, and a generous living space. It felt like a home away from home, especially with the kitchen well-equipped for meals. There’s no washer in the unit, but there is a guest laundry service available—no worries there. At night, the rooms are fairly quiet, though the airport is close by so you’ll occasionally hear planes overhead. As long as you’re not planning on sleeping through the noise, it’s not an issue. The neighborhood is great: Balboa Park is literally steps away, and the zoo and museums are just a short walk. Dining options nearby are limited, but the Italian district and Gaslamp Quarter are only a 5-minute Uber ride away. There’s even a 24-hour 7-Eleven right across the street—super convenient. Safety-wise, the area feels secure overall, though a few people were a bit drunk late at night. A few reviews mention being invited to a timeshare presentation—yes, it happens—but they respect a 'no' without pressure, which is exactly what you want. If I were traveling solo again, I might consider something more upscale, but for families, this place hits the sweet spot: spacious, convenient, and affordable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting San Diego with kids.
