Top Santee Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

8/10 Good
"Stayed one night in a double room for $206, which cut downtown San Diego lodging costs by roughly half while keeping us just a 15-minute drive away. The tropical aesthetic, open lobby, and full-service bar were solid highlights. Room hardware was fully operational with ice-cold air conditioning, very comfortable bedding, and a clean, well-maintained bathroom. Be aware of the unexpected $28 nightly parking fee, though enrolling in their free loyalty program drops the rate to $18. Additionally, avoid the lobby marketplace unless stranded without transport, as charging $8 each for travel-sized deodorant and mouthwash is extreme when standard convenience stores are a short drive away. Overall, this is a strong, cost-effective base for visiting San Diego if you navigate the peripheral charges in advance."
