Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"My stay overall was a good one. The place was very clean only downside the plumbing probably needs some work, the toilet wouldn't flush properly and the water pressure in the shower was too soft. I would definitely recommend this place and would consider coming back when I'm the area."

The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, perfect for solo travelers, families, or business trips. The property was clean, the staff was helpful, and room service was excellent. The hotel overlooks a local park and is within walking distance of everything. Public transportation is close too"

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean enough and the service at the desk was helpful. The check-in and check-out was smooth, and I never felt unsafe, especially as a solo traveler. It is close enough to many activities, so the location was the best benefit, I think. I would use this place again if I ever visit in the future."

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Keating was a wonderful experience! The staff is very friendly, and the hotel was well taken care of. The only thing I would recommend against is renting a car as parking around the Keating is ridiculously expensive. The Gaslamp Quarter is fun and a great atmosphere to be in. You can spend an entire week just exploring around the hotel and probably not see everything. All in all the whole trip was a great getaway for my wife and I!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, central located to walking activities. It's nice to have a view of the bay but not nice to look onto the dirty roof tops of the buildings in front of us. That I do not know if they can do anything about. On a nicer note we spoke with a lovely lady about different eating places we could walk to, she even gave up a coupon to eat at a few that were in front of the hotel, down the water front."

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was easy to work with. Location was perfect and the biggest reason I booked. Building is old, walls are thin, climate control was a portable a/c unit affixed to the wall that turned on and off throughout the night. Room was updated but needs a deep cleaning. Wall vent is fuzzy and bathroom floor boards scuzzy. But hey, I slept good enough, felt safe, and walked to everything. Loved the view."
