Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff. Highly recommend."

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the unique and historic feel. Very friendly staff. Loved the room and the balcony that gave a very European vibe Victor Ivy greeted us upon arrival and gave us a recommendation for one of the BEST breakfast experiences we have ever had. Will definitely be back."

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Margaritaville Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely went out of their way to make the experience memorable. A special shoutout to the wonderful housekeeper who is celebrating her 71st birthday this week. She was incredibly kind, and her attention to detail was outstanding. The entire hotel was immaculate, with a relaxed, chill vibe and laid-back atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. The view was fantastic, and the location could not have been more convenient for exploring the surrounding area. The rooftop bar had a great atmosphere and beautiful views, and the restaurant was excellent as well. Everything about my stay exceeded expectations. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend Margaritaville Hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and fun place to stay."

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"This has been my second favorite hotel on the planet since I stayed at it with my husband back in 2019. And my two-night stay while visiting a friend this past weekend did nothing to change that vaulted ranking! It is such a *pristine* place in every way! One's room gets cleaned, straightened, and re-supplied with fresh towels *every* day, pre-pandemic style! The concierge works into the evening hours! A male staffer I contacted via phone only a couple hours after checking in, tracked down the backpack I'd left in the women's restroom on the first floor, and then phoned me up to say he'd found it and put it with the suitcase I'd left at the front desk. The Grant Grill cheerfully made avocado toast customized to my fussy friend's specifications for her breakfast, and then cheerfully replaced the steel cut oats I didn't care for with some drop-dead fabulous whole-grain toast. The valet staff were super friendly as were the housekeepers as was the front desk staff. In short, there was absolutely nothing to be unhappy about during my visit except perhaps the carpet! The 2019 patriotic-themed one was soooooooo much classier than the current blue plaid!"
