Top Emerald Hills Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"It is a great place to stay. Very good location to visit a lot of places. Breakfast was great and the gift shop had great coffee. The rooms were nice and spacious and clean. The grounds were very nice to take a walk. I definitely work stay there again"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. The amenities and overall experience made our anniversary trip feel extra special, and the thoughtful anniversary gift we received was such a lovely cherry on top! ❤️ The only area that could have used a little more attention was the room cleanliness, as some areas could have been dusted more thoroughly. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality and special touches that helped make our anniversary memorable."
