Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place to stay if you want a vibrant vibe"

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was very helpful and accommodating on what was our first trip with our newborn son. There was even a city-wide blackout, and while everything was back up and running in about 15 minutes, the staff was calm and graceful during what I'm sure was a stressful time."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great historic property. Definitely has character. We enjoyed our stay. Clean, quiet and fairly centrally located for San Diego."

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfy bed, good bar"

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent. The amenities were wonderful. Couple of the Bell staff were not friendly at all and the wait for the elevators at time (especially an hour before check out time) was extremely long."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"When visiting San Diego, I’ve made a few mistakes selecting hotels until I found Manchester Grand Hyatt. This hotel is amazing and extremely welcoming to children and pets!"

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing big thanks to DJ with our stuff"

San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"The valet service was great and ready to meet you at your vehicle, very helpful. I was checked in quickly, front desk staff was nice. Our room had a good view of Petco Park which we really appreciated. Although, I don’t know how often the windows are cleaned but they could have used a little TLC, I won’t hold it against them. The room did have a musty smell, maybe the AC should have been checked so we opened the windows to air it out. Overall it was a great stay and great location."

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"The staff was so helpful and everything was in walking distance and no extra fees!"
