San Diego Downtown Lodge

8/10 Good

"Did not have room service during my stay."

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"The property was so cute it had its own personality! I saw other people complaining about the rooms being small but it was a good size for 2 people. Our only complaint was that the bathtub would not drain quickly so as you showered there was a puddle that went up to about our ankles. Other than that it was a good stay. Would definitely stay again."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was amazing. Rooms were comfortable. Only reason why i can’t give a 5 star review is because the TV didn’t really work. After a long day it would be nice to come back to a tv that has working channels instead of choppy signal or just not loading at all."
