Top Central San Diego Hotel Reviews

Pleasant Inn

4/10 Poor

"If you have a big vehicle, good luck parking there. Also the room had no microwave."

Handlery Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Unfortunately I recently became handicapped, and although the staff did set us up in a handicapped room, it had a full size bed which made for a very uncomfortable stay. I checked out early because of this, and was told to just call Expedia to get a refund. The staff failed to say I needed to do that the same day I checked out, so the Handlery in essence took my money. I will not be back."

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

4/10 Poor

"The floors in the room were dirty, covered in sticky stuff and dirt. After asking the front desk if someone could come up and clean it they assured us it would be, but it never happened after 2 nights of being there. I don’t usually complain or leave reviews on places but this one is based off of principle."

Town and Country San Diego

8/10 Good

"I absolutely loved the staff, the check-in process and the many restaurants/bars they had. Our room was great too except low water pressure. But still great. It was a little “busy” for me with all the little kids running around and a bit noisy though. They weren’t kidding when it said family friendly. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here. We usually have complaints about hotels but I don't think we have a single one. Our kids loved the koi pond and feeding the fish in the mornings. The food was good and staff was friendly. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the cocktail hour. We did order from the restaurant one night and while the food was good, it was $30 for a very tiny portion of meat and some polenta. That was disappointing. The pool and hot tub were great and overall it was a very nice experience."
