Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and modern. Great location and staff."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here every year for the festival that happens across the street at the waterfront park. Close, convenient and has great views all around. Beds are comfortable, staff is plenty nice. There may have been a miscommunication about the view I wanted, but I didn’t want to complain so I accepted my fate with the view we got. It was still beautiful. I love having the restaurants downstairs, steak and eggs for breakfast from claim jumpers was amazing. Such a great way to fuel up before the festival then we headed out. I will say, the $50 a day for parking is quite a stretch, especially when staying multiple days and there being no elevator for the roof of the parking structure. Taking our luggage down was fine, but I then leaving I drove my car to the bottom level and packed up from there. Overall, great experience and we will be returning next year for the same event :)"

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"thank you very much!!"

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Amazing location! Heart of the Gaslamp! And only 2 blocks from main bus lines. Easy for non-locals to take the city bus from airport. Super basic room but had everything we needed. I read other reviews before we stayed so knew what to expect (loud at night) but the earplugs on the night stands still made me laugh! And we used them!! The front desk has limited hours but the staff was attentive and checked in over text messages so it felt like they were always available, even if we didn’t see them in the lobby."
