Top Japanese Friendship Garden Hotel Reviews

The Neon Elm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 experience. Nothing to complain about. The manager on-site was on top of everything."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"It needs a remodel. It’s looking really old but it was clean and not overly crowded. Location and price were great"

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"Overall stay was great. Staff was nice and hotel is in a great location"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful. We enjoyed the balcony. Very clean"

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"The motel changed hands was subsequently remodeled. The walkways could use some repainting and the threshold around the elevator doors. As for the room itself, it was clean. Some of the furniture shows signs of wear. The drain in the shower is slow and doesn't drain fast enough for the shower head, do expect to be standing in water unless you shut off the water now and then. It may just be room #303 that I rented. The check-in clerk was super nice and has some big plans for his future. Best of luck to him!"

Pendry San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection
