Best Western Seven Seas

8/10 Good

"The rooms was outdated in decor and had a musty smell( The carpet was old and had an odor). The staff was nice. The single hot tub had a white residue that shed /covered swim suit. The breakfast and staff were great"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"The front desk area smelled amazing and the staff were very professional! The view from level 8 was cool - we looked toward the back of the stadium. The pool and jacuzzi were most enjoyed by me and my husband; going early in the morning helped us avoid too much foot traffic. The only suggestion I would ever have for Hard Rock hotel is to make the beds a bit less firmer. However, the location is absolutely amazing. Thank you for such a good experience!!"

Loews Coronado Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful and relaxing location. We took a long weekend, but quickly lost track of time and were in our own oasis. Relaxed and taking in the sunset. Drinks by the pool were great, the food on the patio was delightful. The hotel is a little aged, rooms need some touch up to the wallpaper and a little rust to the fixtures in the bathroom, but overall a clean location and well worth the visit. Will definatly stay here again. BE AWARE OF THE A/C OVERFLOW. Ours was located in the bathroom right over the counter and went it overflowed it dripped all over my husband's amenities bag. We didn't have any idea what it was, but it appears that these overflows are common in CA hotels. An 'engineer' was sent immediately, he resolved the issue in a manner of a few minutes, and the hotel provided replacements for a few of the amenities (toothbrush and such) that were dripped on. The hotel handled the issue quickly and we were on our way to the pool. Overall a good experience with who timely and polite they were."
