Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Great area!"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very kind and helpful at all hours of the day. If we stayed again, we would opt for the bigger, classic room than a smaller premier room, as the upgrades/renovations were nice but didn't make enough of a difference to us. Overall, the property was very quiet and clean for being downtown and it was walkable to almost everything on our itinerary."

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Diego

8/10 Good

"Pros The hotel was clean, organized and welcoming. The location was the best part. Right next to the zoo, balboa park, and walking distance to restaurants. I liked the room separation for bedtime. Cons: Parking - it wasn’t clearly stated in posting that it would be $50 a night for self park and $70 for valet. The drive way for self park is intense. It is a very tight and windy path. There were A LOT of scratches on the sides of people hitting their cars against and I felt dizzy doing that tight of circles (7th floor of winding path and parking is on 11th floor) The bathroom design is horrible. The sliding doors have open gaps so technically could see in and no sound proof. There was not vent. The shower was ground level so water easily came out. The door separating the bedroom from the main area should be more opaque as light came in so wasn’t as helpful for our family’s different bedtimes. That I did notice beforehand in the pictures so I was prepared for that."
