"This was a very good hostel, great location in ocean beach and close to a bus stop if you want to go around San Diego. I did have a watch stolen from me overnight that fell from my bed by one other guest in the dorm, with the help of the staff I got this back and they were amazing to help me in this situation. This is entirely not their fault but they handled it amazingly and even asked me if I wanted to swap rooms, thank you guys"

The Atwood Hotel San Diego - SeaWorld/Zoo

I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel in San Diego and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their genuine hospitality and attention to detail. Check-in was quick and effortless, and I immediately felt at ease. The room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable bedding and a relaxing atmosphere. I especially loved the little touches—plenty of charging ports, great water pressure in the shower, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the city and ocean. The location is perfect—close to San Diego’s best attractions, including the waterfront, Gaslamp Quarter, and Balboa Park. Whether I wanted to walk around, take a short drive, or simply relax by the pool, everything was easily accessible. The hotel amenities exceeded expectations. The pool area was a highlight, perfect for enjoying the sunshine, while the fitness center was well-equipped and clean. The on-site restaurant offered delicious meals with fresh, local ingredients, and the breakfast buffet had something for everyone. What really made my stay special, however, was the service. Every staff member I interacted with went above and beyond—whether it was offering recommendations, arranging transportation, or just greeting me with a smile. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Diego, whether for business, a family vacation, or a relaxing getaway. I’m already looking forward to staying here again!

As a two-star hotel, the interior environment is actually good, but the location is not very convenient if you don't drive. It is far from everywhere except Mexico City.

We had the corner room on the second floor which was large and bright. The bathroom is large enough to change clothes in. The location is perfect. We could walk to a bench to watch the sunset in less than 2 minutes. I took a walk down Mission Blvd to Belmont Park which is about 2.2 miles away. The walk was delightful. Lots of small businesses and fun looking houses. Bed was comfortable, there was a small refrigerator and microwave and coffee pot. Thank you!

Ocean Villa Inn

If you are a pet owner this is an exceptional property and even otherwise it's a hidden gem. Surprisingly low vagrant activity on the property and the outside lighting is fair. Probably why the management can be nosey and pushy. You get a used car salesman feel at the front desk but, the stay is worth it, if they don't become passive aggressive with you. It does have that California 'control everything' type nuances....Rooms are clean, you won't be afraid to get into the beds or use the furniture. Small accommodating pool and staff doesn't make you uncomfortable using it. Cool location overlooking dog beach in OB, if you are lucky enough to get the ocean facing side. I do recommend this property.

Baymont by Wyndham San Diego Downtown

Bath amenities could use upgrading? Clean room and comfortable bed. Breakfast bar was serviceable but the corn flakes started stale. Otherwise good choices. Coffee shops nearby and a pasta restaurant which seemed like a good dining option was across the street. I would stay here again. I saw families stay here so I know it would be good for all kinds of travelers

Don’t be picky for a hotel at this price in California. San Diego is not a big city so locations not that matter. Room is clean but a bit smelly when I entered. They start to check in at 3 PM so you need to wait if you arrive early. After all, I had a good sleep there and everything is fine.

The boss was very nice. He booked the wrong date and accommodated us. However, he didn’t see anyone when we checked out the next day. As a result, the deposit was not refunded. He wrote a message and did not return it to us. It was 50🔪, but we are still very grateful. Bar

It is a motel, but the security is very good. Maybe it is too close to the old town. There are more tramps nearby. The hygiene is very clean. There will be train sounds sometimes. The quality of sleep is good. Then there is no delay! Everything else is OK.

Downtown San Diego Lodge

The location is on a concrete island. Literally. The on ramp to the freeway & the off ramp from the freeway. It was difficult to find the way to the “entrance” I felt vey nervous getting out of my car. It was nighttime and many street people hanging out at the building. The night clerk was so sweet and helpful. I think she could see the fear in my eyes. She put me in a room within view of the office. She also let me keep my car in front of office. The room was clean and comfy. The carpet was disgusting. Shower head barely worked. Overall, for the rate it was a good deal. They need to install a safety door latch. . I would have slept better. Checkout was super easy and friendly.
