Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"This was an A+ property. Beautifully maintained and efficient staff. We loved lounging by the pool and how close the hotel is to everything."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Amazing location but the property is in need of some maintenance. Since we stayed here a year ago there is no longer an airport shuttle, and there are areas that need some attention such as the beds, bathrooms and elevators. Just starting to feel a bit dated."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The pictures on this website are terrible. I was extremely hesitant, but because it was a Hyatt location. I decided to go with my gut because I’ve stayed at Hyatt before. When I arrived at the hotel did not disappoint. Everything was amazing. If you’re thinking to book a room at this hotel do it. I completely recommend it."

The Sofia Hotel

"I liked the central location. The shower door leaked onto the floor. Had to put down towels to absorb the water, but overall I loved the hotel and will come back."

"Nice hotel, very close to all of the great things the gaslamp quarter has to offer. Room are spacious, although a little dated. The staff at the front desk are great but I found the staff in general simply ok."
