Top Downtown San Diego Hotel Reviews

Pendry San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Everything"

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Margaritaville! Came down to go to the zoo and to decompress after a terrible loss in our family. Turns out our trip coincided with the Padres post season wildcard playoffs which was so much fun! Lots of excitement and energy. Our room was beautiful and loved the decor throughout the hotel. Pool was exceptional-loved all the stairs with hand rails for easy entry and exit. Weather was perfect! Now back to the beautiful Pacific Northwest."

The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed in the Jr. Suite with balcony. Room was clean however the bathroom pocket door could barely open and close without using some muscle and two hands. The shower had no shelf for razor or a bar of soap (although had the soap dispenser mounted to wall). Staff was exceptional, having our 25th wedding anniversary getaway, staff provided a very nice signed card, polaroid pictures and pretty presentation in the room with champagne and balloon. Hotel has a great restaurant and bar as well! This is the 2nd time I've stayed at Weston due to great location in Gaslamp district and hotel amenities. We did not use the gym but used the small pool daily."
