There are also very bright lights along the outside walkways and the curtains don't fully block them so there was very bright strip of light in the room all night long (didn't bother me but kept my wife awake the first night). ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Figueroa, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Figueroa.h8805682.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel West Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel-West-Hollywood-By-IHG.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information)
