Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

"This is a very nice comfortable modern hotel. The lobby has an outdoor open air feel. The bar is well stocked and the staff are knowledgeable. The bedroom is modern, clean and spacious, has a wooden floor instead of old carpet, it has a sofa and chair, and a large comfortable bed. The bathroom is clean. The hotel staff are very helpful and patient. There are many coffee shops, bars, and restaurants around the hotel. Balboa park, SS Midway museum, Little Italy are all about 20 mins walk from the hotel."

Comfort Inn Gaslamp Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this hotel for its reasonable cost and easy access to public transportation to other places we wanted to visit. My room was small but had everything I needed, including a mini-fridge and microwave. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was the standard motel breakfast, adequate, nothing special, but fine for starting out the morning. I would definitely stay here again."
