Lamplighter Inn & Suites at SDSU

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here!"

Lafayette Hotel & Club

8/10 Good

"This is a very unique property that does many things well, but still has room for some improvements. Pros: Incredible interior design. Every space is beautifully done, very unique with high end finishes and makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time. Food and drinks are delicious at all spots. Staff is very kind and as helpful. Valet parking was easy and they got our car relatively fast even during busy times Lively atmosphere (also a con) Cons: 1st one is us specifically, I don’t know what went wrong but we booked a balcony room poolside but they gave us a ground level poolside. This is technically an upgrade monetarily, but to us it kind of put a damper to the stay. I specifically booked a balcony because I wanted to be close to the action but still be able to remove myself. Our room was in the corner and people kept seating in our outdoor seating, one point we were asleep and there were people sitting and drinking/laughing on our seats. I didn’t want to constantly have to ask people to move so most of the time we just let them be. Staff tried to change our room but none were available. The noise is the big con. I knew this was a party hotel going in but I didn’t think it would be that loud in the rooms. Music blasting from the hotel until 2am and then the room above us starting blasting music from 6am. So no sleep Saturday night. You could feel it in your bones. Come during the weekday for chill vibes. Weekend if you don’t mind noise!"

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Mission Valley Stadium

4/10 Poor

"I was actually very disappointed at the hotel. The grounds, room and bathrooms were all OK but definitely showed ware. Most disappointing was coming back to the hotel at 11:45pm and finding zero parking spaces because FIVE trucks were parked taking up over 30 spaces. When I complained the person on duty told me very politely that the hotel had asked them to move but they wouldn’t. I and others were forced to park on the street which had homeless living in vans. Not ideal. The next day at 6:00pm the trucks were still there. The number one priority when traveling is safety, my wife and I did not feel confident of safety at your property. I’m sure this hotel is ideal for solo travelers who are working, but I could not recommend it for families or couples."

Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near SDSU by IHG

4/10 Poor

"My father sustained some type of bug bites or flea bites. He had welts all over his thighs. The guest upstairs was walking back and forth very loudly for 5 hours straight during the night. They also didn't seem to carry plant-based milks. Overall, my experience at this hotel was not great. I felt very disappointed."

Sheraton Mission Valley San Diego Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Hi there, we stayed in rooms 1109 and 1111 and there is the Sheraton Club Lounge on the floor right above above (12th) our rooms unbeknownst to us. I understand it has hardwood floors. And every morning around 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. we were woken up by the rolling breakfast carts on the hardwood floors. It sounded like furniture moving every morning! Every day, we assumed it was a one-off issue as we didn't realize it was a club lounge used daily but it happened every morning. By the time we figured out what it was, we were already scheduled to check out. Had we known it was an active lounge with hardwood floors and rolling breakfast carts, we would have requested a room change, but we were also told that we got the last adjoining rooms available. So, we felt stuck there nonetheless. Please provide some sort of explanation or compensation. Thank you!"
