Top Carmel Mountain Ranch Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous hotel overlooking Mission Bay. Great location for walking and biking. Restaurant has great food and drinks. Staff are very friendly."

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was here for one night maybe Im just a little pampered it felt sketchy for me as tbere were RVs parked in the back with people just hanging around like they've been there for ages. People smoking and hanging around in parking area ... I didn't see any security except gate doors. Beds felt outdated but you get what you pay for. So can't say to much. It be nice to have a microwave but can't ask for miracles."

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, but ice was not easy to get...only starting on the 6th floor. But the spagetti factory on the back side of the hotel was very convenient. also, across the street from the HUGE San Diego convention center(5 stories tall), do not take the stairs over the top middle, go around south end to get to "the Shell" for concerts! ***There is also a 24/7 Subway sandwich store AND a mini mart on the back of the next block that was also very convenient, as most of the places (like CVS) in the area close at 7pm, other than bars and clubs. Do NOT take "pedicabs" VERY EXPENSIVE $40/person!"

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"It’s not fancy but very good in my opinion. Price is right! Location was about 15/20 min from beaches by car. It was clean, beds were comfortable. It has a pool and hot tub. And parking is safe. Breakfast was simple but a bonus. Very nice staff. And gym!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"I loved how welcoming the staff were. The front looks updated and clean. The rooms are updated and clean! Very sizable rooms too! Great price. Got free cocktail hour drinks! Breakfast was included!!! My husband and two young kids enjoyed the stay here. Would definitely come back when we come back to San Diego ❤️"
