FAQs about hotels in San Diego









The Art of Easy Living

Sweeping along the coast against a mountain backdrop, San Diego has easy living down to a fine art. Its wonderful beaches and mild climate make it a favorite spring break destination, and with over 40 city breweries, there are plenty of ice cold beers to set the mood.

The city’s most recognizable landmark is the Hotel del Coronado, a wooden Victorian beach resort, now a National Historic Landmark. As original Spanish mission and first in California, it's has been relocated to the Mission Valley area, and Old Town San Diego still has many Colonial buildings and quirky shops. Also great for shopping are Horton Plaza and the boutiques in the beachfront neighborhoods.

The city’s most famous attraction is its zoo in Balboa Park, a few blocks from San Diego International Airport. One of the world’s largest zoos, it is well worth a visit, as is the fantastic SeaWorld, home to several killer whales. To see wildlife in its natural habitat head to La Jolla beach where harbor seals rest, or watch whales in season from Point Loma Lighthouse.

Just over the border from Mexico’s Tijuana, San Diego has a distinctly Latin American vibe and a variety of accommodations encompassing apartments, motels, B&Bs and hotels. See Booking.com for the best deals.

    The city appears clean, uncluttered, with lots of green space, beautiful flowering shrubs, flowers, palm trees, and beaches. We've visited before; this time we were in town for graduation at Point Loma Nazarene University, and enjoyed our stay. Balboa Park is amazing, and we attended an organ concert there last time.

    Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego.

    Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego. The Saturday market is wonderful in the plaza. The historic boats on the bay and the waterfront walk is beautiful. It's a pleasant walk to Seaport Village. Our grand daughter loves the carousel. The whale watching tours and dinner cruises are out of the area by the Midway historic ship.

    Unlike Los Angeles, San Deigo had really pleasant 'vibes'. The people were friendly and open. Nothing was too far away and it is a beautiful city! It felt totally safe and I love the varieties of stores one street! Loved the thrift store. Really good quality things.

    San Diego is so geographically diverse is so many things to do and go. The freeways are easy to use . The Mexican food and seafood is amazing. The beaches are beautiful, especially in Pacific Beach it’s so scenic . The restaurants are amazing shelter Island is a beautiful place to eat and to take a walk. The food is so delicious so many different cultures to choose from . Use Yelp to guide you to where go. San Diego can be very expensive plan your trip ahead of time. I would avoid Tour season April and September is the best time to come to San Diego to avoid the crowd .

    A hidden gem. The family that operates this hotel keeps the facility in top shape, the rooms are clean, very friendly staff, a nice breakfast room with many breakfast choices, a pool, and free parking. You can walk to Old Town San Diego and the red trolly railway stop that will take you into downtown San Diego or Tijuana. It's on Pacific Highway, so you can easily get to SeaWorld, Balboa Park, San Diego Airport, Downtown, Marine Corp Depot, Pt Loma and more very easily. Yet you aren't in the busy Downtown crowds.

    Perfect location in Little Italy district of San Diego. Area was very lively with bars and restaurants,also a variety of street markets. Only a short downhill all the way walk to Santa Fe depot. Our room overlooked the street and was remarkably quiet given all the bars and restaurants over the road. Overall an excellent boutique hotel. Rooms are on the small side with little space for storage but that did not spoil in any way an enjoyable 5 night stay. Staff were all courteous and very

    The location is very good, 20/25 min by foot from the GasLamp quarter and Little Italy (the vivid areas of the city). There is also restaurants around (a good ramen restaurant, empanadas, mexican food...) if you dont wanna walk too much. The bed is comfortable, the shower is hot and the room is spacious enough. Plus comparing the price to the other motels/hotels around, this one is relatively cheap and you have what you would expect.

    I love the beautiful view of the Palm trees outside of my room. The room size was perfect and very clean, the carpet was clean, the staff was amiable, and the breakfast prices were reasonable. The hotel was 20 mins away from Downtown and attractions. I would recommend this hotel to stay in and will stay again next time I visit San Diego! The Pool scenery is very beautiful and the pool temperature was just right, warm!

    We often stay at this hotel. It's the best deal in San Diego. It's not upscale or fancy, but always exceptionally clean and just a very nice cozy room. The grounds and common areas are very nice, the rooms are large some with kitchenettes and all with fridge and micro and dining table. This time our room had new carpet which was nice. Also, we didn't book a room with a kitchenette, but we got one :-).

    The hotel has everything you need, there is a market in the lobby with 24 hours service and they serve starbucks coffee. They have sandwiches and fruits so that was very convenient. The hotel is located by the sea so it's about 20 minutes walk to reach downtown san Diego where all the action is. The room was ok, nothing special about it, however, the view from the room was amazing.

    This is the second time staying here due to the proximity to Petco Park (the sky bridge is the best!) and to the Gaslamp Quarter. It’s the best place. Friendly, clean and comfortable. Spent time at the pool and it was clean and the atmosphere was great. I had a massage there and it was exceptional. This is now my go to hotel when going to San Diego. Thank you!!

    I live in San Diego and have friends that stay at hotels in Mission Valley/Hotel Circle area. This hotel is super expensive - they charged an extra booking fee at check in. Anything from their "market" was 5x more expensive than other hotel markets/restaurants in the same area. The landscaping and pool was beautiful - good for kids but super expensive!
