Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"This was a nice hotel in a convenient location"

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Walking distance to petco park. Close to gaslamp party scene if you’re into that but far enough for it to be away from it too. Staff was friendly and so helpful. There’s a deli across the street that makes great sandwiches. Starbucks and grocery outlet are a block away. Rooms have a decent size fridge and washer/dryer combo. It’s really convenient. Looking forward to our next stay."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

6/10 Okay

"One working elevator made the stay annoying. Staff were friendly. 35 dollars for parking on property is ridiculous and should be included with the stay. Great location though but I’m sure there’s something better around. Would not stay here again by my own will."

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I checked in, the staff set the tone: friendly, respectful, and genuinely helpful. Even as a returning guest, I learned about amenities I hadn't fully taken advantage of before, and having those extra days gave me the chance to really enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. Some standout perks worth highlighting: Refill Water Stations: A small but mighty perk included in the daily resort fee. No need to constantly run out for bottled water. In-N-Out Garage Privileges: I was driving a rental car to visit family and friends around San Diego, and not having to pay an in/out fee every time I left the garage was a huge convenience. $15 Daily Food & Beverage Credit: I finally got to use this and tried Hudson, the restaurant inside the hotel. The menu options were impressive, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive even during a very busy service. I loved being able to bill everything directly to my room — it made life so much easier. Wi-Fi Included: As someone who needed to sneak in a little work even while trying to unplug, I appreciated having Wi-Fi in the room. I did experience some connection drops on two of the five days, but it resolved on its own each time. Minor issue overall."

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Our first time here and absolutely fell in love! Everything was in walking range whether you want a night out drinking or a nice relaxing night. We ubered to Little Italy and enjoyed a nice walk back to the hotel by the marina while watching the sunset. The room was clean with plenty of space, we had a balcony and the view was of the ocean and the city. Drinks at the Agave bar were great and strong, enjoyed the music by the pool! We ate the Marina kitchen for lunch and than before leaving we had their buffet brunch. 10/10 would recommend!! Before leaving we were already talking about our next trip back!"

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"The check in line was very long but of course we arrived in a 3 day holiday weekend. The room was clean, updated and comfortable. The top of the Hyatt restaurant lounge was good. Great drinks but horrible service. Servers were rude and obnoxious. The front desk staff was amazing. Buffet breakfast was excellent! The server at the buffet was also friendly and super helpful. Amazing stay."
