Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific two night stay in downtown San Diego! We recently wrapped up a wonderful two-night stay at the Embassy Suites in downtown San Diego and would absolutely return. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our entire visit. Our suite was exceptionally clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Best of all, we had a beautiful view of the harbor and Seaport Village right from our room, which was a spectacular bonus! The amenities here are fantastic. We really enjoyed the indoor pool area, and the room service was prompt and delicious. The complimentary breakfast was also excellent with a great spread of options to start the day. If I had to nitpick, our room wasn't quite ready right at the 4:00 PM check-in time, though the front desk handled it gracefully. Also, breakfast seating was a bit of a challenge on our last morning—space was limited because a few large groups were taking up tables to chat without actually eating. Despite those two small details, the overall experience, spectacular views, and top-notch service easily earn this hotel a full 5 stars. Highly recommended for anyone visiting downtown San Diego!"

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"The property was nice. It was in a great location to get around easily. The only problem and what they do not tell you is that it is $70 to park a night. Yes that is correct $70 a night. The hotel had just recently changed names so I had no idea where I was going at first. Nobody told me that the hotel changed its name a week before I came so when I was looking for the hotel, I couldn’t find its name anywhere. I got tired of driving around the block and stopped and walked into a hotel who said no that is us. We just changed our name after they made a joke about me being in the wrong place. Supposedly it is a new hotel but you can literally hear everything from outside wall. You can’t hear anything from the neighbors next to you, but you can’t hear from outside so if there’s a Padres game going on, be prepared to hear everything otherwise it isn’t a good spot. It had great accommodations nice bed and it was clean. Just still mad about the parking."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

6/10 Okay

"The lobby smelled really nice, the room was okay, nothing spectacular. we did have a hiccup, someone next to us was smoking cigarettes. The staff were prompt in addressing the issue. The one thing I did not like about the property was the parking, it was very tight parking, so beware if you drive a larger car or suv"
