Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, great place to stay."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

8/10 Good

"Place was nice and clean, staff was friendly, the only thing that was awful was the parking, parking was $45 per night, and it was so small, struggle to park, there’d hardly any space, the second night I just stayed across the street and it was $40 and didn’t struggle going inside that place that felt like a tiny warehouse"

San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"We chose this hotel as it is across the street from Petco Park to attend a ball game. Staff was exceptionally friendly, hotel & our room was clean & well maintained. We do have some frustrations: the mattress was comfortable but the pillows were awful! They seem nice and fluffy at first but then bunch up in areas while flat in others. We both had neck aches! The towels were equally bad - felt like towels at much cheaper motels. Also no towel racks in the bathroom! Only place to hang towels between use was 1 wall hook next to the shower. The biggest issue was all the wall plugs in the room were poorly sized which caused anything plugged in the outlet to fall out if touched. That could be extremely dangerous. A minor issue was the tv in our room sat lower than the top of the bed which made it difficult to use the remote from the bed. Given these issues, I would stay at the hotel again as it is close to many great restaurants and bars, along with easy access to many great areas of San Diego."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"This place was amazing great location! Only downside was the parking garage, already narrow parking garage, coupled with big cars parking in the compact spots and on level three they are using part of the row for storage so you have to squeeze in. Other than that great stay but be mindful if you have a bigger vehicle when parking."

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"My family stayed 6 nights. We took our 6 year old son and he enjoyed the pool the most. The first night our room would not cool down and when I called to have it looked at someone came and fixed it right away even though it was 5am. We were very grateful for that. We a few times at the marketplace and the food was good and quick and met our needs. The hotel is in a great location downtown with a children’s park across the street and with seaport village near by there are tons of things to do with children. We also went to Padres game and were able to walk there in about 10 minutes. Overall we were happy with our stay and would come back in the future."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great, room was a bit smaller than expected but worked well for my family of 3. There was a hot water issue but fixed right away and one day we were left with no towels but again immediately corrected when we asked, brought up within 5 mins. I could see dust around the closet edges but the bed was always made and sheets clean. Also one of the elevators was broken which made a bit of longer wait at times. Great location to walk to seaport, midway little Italy or the convention center with a lot of restaurants. It was great to have parking available as well and not have to worry about that being downtown."

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. The location was great with lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Very clean and beautiful hotel that preserves and honors the history. Friendly staff at the desk, in the restaurant, and doing the housekeeping. We will be coming back whenever we are in the area."
