Top Desert Garden Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, hard to get hot water come out. In the shower"

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

8/10 Good

"The hotel location and views are great as well as the patio, bar and sitting areas. That is what you pay for. The rooms are nice and clean but nothing fancy. Pretty basic. We were there over Fourth of July weekend so obviously it was a popular time, but the pool area was packed. No lounge chairs available throughout the day and many families had multiple chairs saved when the kids were in the pool the whole time. But get that this is a common problem at hotels. Unless you were able to get out and snag a chair early, many people had to sit at the tables in the bar area. Great location for the Big Bay Boom fireworks and very convenient to walk to the Seaport Village and Gaslamp Quarter."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a nice stay here. The property was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It is in a fantastic location—very close to plenty of great restaurants and plenty of things to do within walking distance. While the room itself was clean, the air conditioning unit was quite noisy. Unfortunately, I had a redeye flight ahead of me and was hoping to get some solid rest, but the AC noise made it difficult to sleep as well as I had hoped. It's a wonderful place to stay, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs or request a room with a quieter unit."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"PROS Lovely hotel, perfectly located for all that ‘Little Italy’ has to offer. Walking distance to many great cafes, restaurants and a short drive to the zoo etc. Hotel was clean and well kept, staff were friendly. CONS Car parking is v.expensive compared to other hotels, and the car park itself is tight for space."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"My family and I just returned from a 2 night stay and we really enjoyed ourselves.. we stayed in a studio suite and our room was spacious and very clean. We did stay in a newly renovated room in the Seaport Tower which was modern and fresh. The bed and couch were both comfy not the best I’ve ever had but no real complaints. The hotel itself was huge and well maintained however because they are doing lots of updates to the hotel to enhance the stay it just seemed like there was lots going in and lots unavailable. The gym was not available you had to go to the Marriot, there breakfast buffet was relocated, there was scaffolding up and down the building, the main pool area was under construction and for some reason our room wasn’t cleaned while we were out and had to call for housekeeping at 7pm to clean the room which it took over an hour for someone to come. Even with that staff was apologetic and helpful. I will say in their defense it was a busy holiday weekend and they had an extremely large group there for a huge conference. Overall out stay was good and I will come back once lots of the renovations are completed and check out more of what the amenities have to offer since again the property was still clean given the circumstances and the staff was very delightful. Ohh the food was also very good!! A huge plus for me because I’m a foodie 😊"
