Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are standard rooms."

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful property, central to the airport and transportation!"

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Really beautiful property, very big space. Pool was nice, a bit chaotic with lots of guests just doing their own thing (like vaping, throwing footballs across people from one end of the pool to the other and playing their own loud music. The pool entry doors were left completely open at one point. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Rooms were clean and quiet."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled with my husband and young son (8 y/o). We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was clean and organized, and we enjoyed the fitness center and pool. The location is convenient with a lot of restaurants to choose from and a park to play in nearby. There's a Ralph's nearby for snacks and groceries, which we took advantage of considering we had a full kitchen and are always munchy. Great stay, will definitely stay there again!"
