Holiday Inn Express San Diego-Sea World Area

The hotel is spotless and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable, and the quiet surroundings made for a peaceful night's sleep. Just a 10-minute walk away, there's a fantastic BBQ place that’s worth every minute of the long queue—totally delicious! Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and overall, everything else was great. The only downside was that the elevator broke on our check-in day, and it took a full day to fix—so we had to climb the stairs with our luggage, which was tough, especially with heavy bags. We ended up just grabbing a change of clothes and heading up, but it was still a hassle. Still, I have to say, the way they handled the situation—though slow—was transparent and persistent. It’s not perfect, but the location, cleanliness, and comfort make up for it. Definitely a solid choice if you're visiting San Diego, and I’d stay here again.

Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town

Staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town was a great choice for me. The hotel is perfectly located in Old Town, just a 7- to 8-minute walk to the main historic area—ideal for exploring on foot. There are plenty of restaurants and gas stations nearby, making daily needs super convenient. Parking costs $30 per day, which is a bit steep, but given the central location, it’s worth it. The neighborhood feels safe and clean—no homeless people around, and the streets are well-maintained. I appreciated the free coffee and tea in the lobby, plus breakfast is included—always a nice touch. The room itself is standard but comfortable, with a small balcony where I could enjoy sunset views in the evening. It’s not flashy, but it’s cozy, quiet, and perfect for a stress-free stay. Highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting Old Town.

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 room was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials—comfortable bed, modern amenities, and great lighting.

The outdoor pool was a nice bonus, especially on sunny days when you just want to unwind by the water. Staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. While parking does come at a fee, the location is incredibly convenient—close to downtown San Diego, shopping areas, and major attractions. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely planning to stay here again.
