Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Quick trip from airport, fantastic amenities, recommend for a quick getaway. Not toddler friendly…more for families with older 7+ kiddos or adults.Yoga session was amazing."

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the Old Town Inn - we'll stay here again the next time we visit San Diego. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Easy connection to the internet and convenient to areas of interest. The grounds are gorgeous and welcoming. We arrived before 3:00 check-in and were able to "pre-check in" so when we returned after 3:00, all we needed was the key and we were done! Super nice front desk staff, too. Thank you Old Town Inn!"

Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

8/10 Good

"The hotel is only 10-15 mins from SeaWorld and San Diego zoo which is why we choose to stay there. It is outdated but clean enough if you are only going over to spend the night. I would not stay there again, the elevator was almost creepy and torn down and breakfast included ends at 9am. And because it's California, of course there is a daily parking fee. "
