Top Nova SD Hotel Reviews

San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"Nice property. Wish the room had a safe and refrigerator."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location, check in was fast but not informative regarding parking or location of towers, basic informati on was provided. Receptionist that checked me in was not friendly, seemed like she disliked her job."

Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the staff were nice. Great location for a walk to the ballgame.Only negative was the parking. $70 per night when you’re staying at the property is ridiculous."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying in an historic hotel. Very nicely refurbished. Affordable and conveniently located for either Little Italy of Gaslamp District. Valet parking might seem a splurge but it's worth it. Staff at hotel and valet are wonderful, helpful and very friendly. Got a great deal on Expedia for this stay, but will definitely be coming back here again."

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent
