Top San Diego Air and Space Museum Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff"

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"Great location for PetCo, Convention Center, Gaslamp district, very walkable and lots to do."

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Pali Hotel was great. We came down to SD to move our daughter into college and stayed at the Pali for Thursday - Saturday. Check in was easy and the lobby was beautiful. They really know how to cater to your senses at this hotel, as the lobby smelled amazing, it was clean and welcoming. The room itself was designed well and cute. If you know the history of the building, this is an old 1900's building, so the rooms are cozy, but perfect for a couple. The bathroom was clean and updated, but kept with the vintage charm of the building. The elevator was a bit slow, but again, it is a vintage building and they do have a nice seating area outside to wait for the elevator. The roof top bar was AMAZING! The views and the vibes were great. We also enjoyed the french resturant attached to the building. Besides the vibe and aesthetic of the hotel, the real win here is the location. It's right in an area where you are in the middle of everything, but not deep enough into the Gaslamp district that you have the unhoused sleeping right outside the hotel. Tons of nightlife, restaurants and fun things to do within in steps of the front door of the hotel and everything else SD has to offer is a short drive away. Definitely wouldnt mind staying here for all my future SD trips."

Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

8/10 Good

"It was okay but they did forget to replace towels and shower gel"

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Great for traveling families."

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent breakfast and balcony had good view. Excellent staff, housekeeping."

Pendry San Diego

8/10 Good

"The so called Amenity fee is supposed to include free coffee, but they limit it from 5 - 8 am and if it runs out before 8 am, they don't refill it. This felt like a bait and switch. Otherwise, the room was great and the pool was nice. The gym was excellent. We chose not to eat at the restaurants due to the price gauging, but found many other great places to spend our money while downtown. I wouldn't recommend this hotel because it felt like they were trying to nickel and dime the guest, who already paid a top end price to stay."

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The Grant is a beautiful Hotel with amazing staff. They go out of their way to make you feel special. From the valet desk to the room service and every area in between. I’ve stayed at this hotel several times and will be back again. I absolutely love it!"
