The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

Civic Core

"Staff was very welcoming. Room was clean and large. Only negative is reservation said city view and our view was an old building across street that was empty, perhaps receiving some rehab. I guess that was the view of the city, but i inferred city view on reservation suggested our room would have a nice view of the city. Probably my mistake. OUR stay at the grant was very nice. We enjoyed it. People were great. "

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"accomidating"

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay — highly recommend. A near-new hotel with spotless, modern rooms in a very convenient location. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. The breakfast buffet was a real highlight — especially the Hampton waffles, which were absolutely delicious. The facilities were well maintained and enjoyable, with a warm pool and hot tub that we loved using. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A massive shout-out to Malarie, who went above and beyond to make our experience truly superb and accommodating. Thank you so much 🤗🙏"

Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in one of the newly-remodeled rooms overlooking the pool/bay in the Marina Tower. Really lovely and the room was exceptionally well-appointed. Great view! The staff was also accomodating with arranging a day-rate for use of the room since I wasn't flying out until the evening. Would absolutely stay here again."
