10/10 Excellent

"."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"Had some concern about the air conditioning of room , hotel staff looked into the same. Day 1 night was tough , but Day 2 night was fine with AC working good"

The Westin San Diego Bayview

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Staff was very friendly and rooms were cleaned with no issues. The food served at the restaurant and bar were delicious. Parking is expensive. It was $65 dollar a night for valet, and the nearby parking garages were $28-$30 a night which was more than the rental car I drove during my stay."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time staying at the Sofia Hotel. We lived on their 7th floor which was recently updated. The hotel is very clean, great service. Love that it has a water filling station and access to nespresso pods. The restaurant downstairs is also great. Also liked the location, so close to everything but still quiet enough to rest!! Highly recommend ✨"
