Top Balboa Stadium Hotel Reviews

The Beau Hotel Gaslamp Quarter San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for a show at the House of Blues & it was perfect. Less than a block away from the venue and there’s parking across the street. The bar downstairs had good food, adult drinks and espresso. The staff were great and helpful. The only thing I’d improve is the WiFi reception. Maybe add some more extenders or boxes. Thank you!"
