The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

6/10 Okay

"Nice room and view"

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived super early as we got back to port at 8am in Long Beach. We headed to San Diego to spend the day and night. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 1030 in the morning and I asked if it would be possible to check in and if so how early could we check in. The young lady at the counter was so helpful and went ahead and checked us in at that time. I asked her if she had any suggestions on things to do and she pulled out a map of the hotel area and the area around the hotel. Not only did she tell us what and where to go she actually took the time to write on both maps what and where to go and some of the history. Only thing I wish is I could remember her name so I could mention it and thank her again for being so kind and caring."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"We recommend staying here. The location is great, near the water and a couple popular tourist sites, and within walking distance of Little Italy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and rooms were very comfortable. Also a good fairly central location if you’re driving. I’m sure we’ll be back!"

Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a nice stay. The location was great for my family and I. The gym and pool were well maintained. The outside property looked nice. There is no breakfast unfortunately. Something I was hoping for since we had our 2 year old with us. There is a restaurant across the parking lot though. Also the rooms will not get cleaned unless you need it and call the front desk for it. Staff was very welcoming. Danny did a really good job taking care of me when I got there."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is clean, bed sheets towels. The shower felt like it was going to fall thru the floor. You can hear upper floor people walking and creaking noises. It was creaking alot. Again clean room but not really updated.. the pool area was decent. Heated pool too. If you just want a decent stay. Then it's fine."

Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome resort!! Just a beautiful venue! Every room is modern and most of them have incredible views. The resort is family oriented but not too kid oriented, I say that with best intentions because kids will have a good time. Great for crowds under 21 and over 35. Two restaurants with three bars. The margarita bar is great, and the brewery bar has a great selection. You can order drinks pool side as well, and there’s another bar right by it. $10/night parking is across the street, otherwise you’ll be paying significantly more for on-site or valet. Drop off and pay a tip a bell hop nicely instead. The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. I don’t remember if I’ve stayed at a hotel where the staff was this happy, it really adds to the environment. The location is a little out of the way being by the airport but the drive is not bad to either downtown or La Jolla. The good thing about the location being away from downtown is that it does make the Sheraton feel a bit more exclusive. Plus if you get a room that faces the city, the skyline and Coronado bridge at night is quite a treat. I think I’ll be staying there again soon and would recommend to friends in the area that it’s an ideal spot for a stay-cation."

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

6/10 Okay

"first I bought 2 suites for my daughter's graduation. then on arrival they separated us to two different sides of hotel. one room with balcony faced all the air conditioning on top of joining building. disgusting view with loud units. The furniture has stains and wear. the sliding bath door was hanging at end not properly closing. It had water damage at edge. water pressure in one room would only go hot. The pool being at a Hardrock was only 4 ft deep and small. ( they throw pool parties there) Very little arrival parking area. The tile is delaminating from concrete throughout the hotel. loose tiles. I felt ripped off for money we spent on 2 rooms. As for the area. can't go a block with crazy amount of homeless which some harassed my daughter and boyfriend. stunk like pee everywhere . San Diego is letting down its tourists and residents big-time. so much I won't go back. dirty city. the next LA"
