Top San Diego County Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"Beautiful view. Nice room."

Handlery Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 4 days and one of the days our room was not cleaned. There was also construction going on in the parking lot next to our room and the workers were using noisy machinery outside our window/room at 7:30am in the morning. Also an alarm for the entry door went off due to a battery that needed replaced at 6:30am in the morning. The staff were apologetic but this was our vacation and we wanted to sleep and come back from our meeting to a clean room."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Unique hotel with a lot of nightlife! This felt like an adult playground. Explicit house music on at the pool, rooms with lot of alcohol and lots of bars. Not as much access to small bites after hours except in the diner where that menu was small. No food in lobby bar or jazz club. We walked around the neighborhood to see what else we could enjoy, but only found resturants. Loved Chance's coffee next door! We saw a few kids there, but I wouldn't bring kids under 21 there. My 21-year-old son was with me and agreed. Fun experience!!!"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. The amenities and overall experience made our anniversary trip feel extra special, and the thoughtful anniversary gift we received was such a lovely cherry on top! ❤️ The only area that could have used a little more attention was the room cleanliness, as some areas could have been dusted more thoroughly. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality and special touches that helped make our anniversary memorable."

Hampton Inn San Diego/Mission Valley

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the patio. There was a large big pool clean, the fireplace and the Jacuzzi was my favorite. We did a lot of walking and my body was so sore and it felt really good to sit in the hot tub. The staff was very accommodating and the breakfast was very good. Everyone was friendly. I loved it here. I’ll definitely stay again."
