The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

The Guild Hotel, San Diego Downtown, a Marriott Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful. It was a one night stay so I cannot say much about the entire property and the upkeep. We had food in their restaurant the burgers were very greasy so it was hard to eat as it was falling apart."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Everything was great! Julyda who checked me in was FANTASTIC! Loved my room and my view. My only complaint is there should always be more people at the front desk to check people in. Long line and took 45 minutes to get to Julyday. Luckily, she made me feel so much better and I will definitely stay her again."

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed staying at the Horton, it was walking distance to Petco Stadium and the marina as well as lots of restaurants. We were able to Uber easily to Old Town and Little Italy. It was nice to get complimentary drinks in the bar. We loved the old architecture of the building, our patio and the atrium. The gym was decent well."
