Top Rancho San Diego Hotel Reviews

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"It was awesome even in the rain I must say"

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"First time visiting San Diego with a baby and The Dana Team made sure that we have everything we need. We loved the beautiful, relaxing view from the balcony and the spacious Junior suite. Front Desk was very helpful, our room was always tidied up nicely. Also loved the proximity of the hotel to the attractions we went to. Very minor thing— we didnt find our “do not disturb” hangtag in the room but i’m pretty sure had we just called that they would give us one. Overall, an unforgettable stay and we highly recommend staying here."

Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great beachside stay! Be mindful of the surrounding area having a lot of activity into the late evenings -- you can hear all the fun while you try to sleep. No microwave in the room I stayed at, but there are at least ample restaurant choices within walking distance. Overall happy to stay have stayed there and wouldn't mind returning, but not with little kids (because of the evening noise)."
