FAQs about hotels in San Diego









The Art of Easy Living

Sweeping along the coast against a mountain backdrop, San Diego has easy living down to a fine art. Its wonderful beaches and mild climate make it a favorite spring break destination, and with over 40 city breweries, there are plenty of ice cold beers to set the mood.

The city’s most recognizable landmark is the Hotel del Coronado, a wooden Victorian beach resort, now a National Historic Landmark. As original Spanish mission and first in California, it's has been relocated to the Mission Valley area, and Old Town San Diego still has many Colonial buildings and quirky shops. Also great for shopping are Horton Plaza and the boutiques in the beachfront neighborhoods.

The city’s most famous attraction is its zoo in Balboa Park, a few blocks from San Diego International Airport. One of the world’s largest zoos, it is well worth a visit, as is the fantastic SeaWorld, home to several killer whales. To see wildlife in its natural habitat head to La Jolla beach where harbor seals rest, or watch whales in season from Point Loma Lighthouse.

Just over the border from Mexico’s Tijuana, San Diego has a distinctly Latin American vibe and a variety of accommodations encompassing apartments, motels, B&Bs and hotels. See Booking.com for the best deals.

    A fabulous place!

    A fabulous place! Perfect first visit and I hope to have many more. The people are friendly, the food is delicious and so varied and the sunsets and sunrises are so dreamy. Great places to eat: Copper Top Coffee, Oscar’s Mexican Seafood, Board and Brew and really anything near Pacific Beach!

    San Diego is fun for everyone.

    San Diego is fun for everyone. We did the US Midway tour, US Marine Museum, Whale Watching and visited Downtown, Little Italy, Gaslamp district. Was fun, great places to eat at and enjoy the weather and coast. It is pricey, so if you're willing to take a hit to the wallet, it is an awesome place to be.

    Due to our booked airbnb accommodation being disgusting we only got the one day there but we went to the USS Midway museum, this was fantastic and not to be missed, the Doubletree hotel was good all things right, only downside the resteraunt was extortionate prices and really spoiled the stay. Had to go out to eat but there was a small mall with nice shops and an assortment of eating choices about 5 minutes walk away, saved the day.

    San Diego have really worked hard on making it a tourist-friendly city. Their tourist web site (SanDiego.org) has a lot of really good suggestions about what to do and see in the city and the surrounding area. We stayed in La Jolla which is a nice small town but has easy access via transit to the city. If you are in a car, there appears to be a lot of free parking for various attractions (e.g .Balboa Park, Old Town) and you can park for free in the Old Town and get to downtown San Diego in about 15 minutes using their excellent tram system. If you are driving, you can travel out to Coronado and enjoy the State Park there. Also worthwhile is a trip to the desert on Hwy 52.

    Actually , my target was to attend the American Academy of Dermatology at the convention center. I went to Lajolla, Balboa park and Old town. Any extra times was for shopping. It was winter time. I used public transportation, the hotel is easily accessible through the green line trolley and bus 88 and the old town station.I used the airport electric bus free of charge to old town bus and bus # 88 from there.

    Absolutely beautiful and fantastically fun area!

    Absolutely beautiful and fantastically fun area! I would be happy alone, with family or a girlfriend. So much to do and such great atmosphere and food, weather etc. Only problem was FANTASTICALLY EXPENSIVE! Holy cow, bring a lot of cash. Absolutely everything cost a fortune, so we weren't able to stay as long as we wanted.

    My son and his wife stayed here a few months ago and highly recommended this motel. Motel is very basic but extremely clean which is a must for me when traveling. We traveled to San Diego area and Del Cornado so the location was just fine. A/C a little loud but at least it worked well. Hard to believe only 6 parking spots for hotel but we were able to find free public parking on the street. Great place to drop your bags and hit the town. Oh, can't beat the price.

    The location was great. It was right by the dog beach and although we didn't have a dog, we enjoyed walking to the beach and watching all the activity on the beach. The location to other things like stores to get groceries was also good and the room was spacious and comfortable. Parking was a plus. Also the hotel has taken the time to plant beautiful aloes and other succulents. You can tell they really pay attention to the garden. It was a delight to see.

    I booked a last minute room at the Keating because no other hotels had availability. I had to go to San Diego to visit friends who were at a conference and all the hotels in the Gaslamp District were either full or incredibly expensive. The Keating offered a rate under $300 which seemed very fair for what I saw in the pictures. I could tell it was an older property located in hundred-year old building but the location was where I needed to be.

    We often stay at this hotel. It's the best deal in San Diego. It's not upscale or fancy, but always exceptionally clean and just a very nice cozy room. The grounds and common areas are very nice, the rooms are large some with kitchenettes and all with fridge and micro and dining table. This time our room had new carpet which was nice. Also, we didn't book a room with a kitchenette, but we got one :-).

    I live in San Diego and have friends that stay at hotels in Mission Valley/Hotel Circle area. This hotel is super expensive - they charged an extra booking fee at check in. Anything from their "market" was 5x more expensive than other hotel markets/restaurants in the same area. The landscaping and pool was beautiful - good for kids but super expensive!

Location is walking distance to the nice areas in San Diego, such as Little Italy, the Gaslamp District, Balbao park, and, a little bit further but still at walkable distance, the very cosy Hillcrest area.

    Whenever I attend a conference at the San Diego Convention Center, I try to get a room at the Hyatt. It's a terrific hotel, with great rooms, great views, and a really good bar and restaurants. It's a little pricey, for sure. But it's so worth it. And the entire Gaslamp is right across the street.
