Top Nova SD Hotel Reviews

Hotel Z

10/10 Excellent

"I only stayed here one night but it was great. Room was clean and comfortable. The location is great and the staff were welcoming. Room is a little small but overall a great experience."

The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Although clean, the room was the smallest we’ve ever stayed in, to the point that the sink was in the room not the bathroom. Very nice rain shower, but water didn’t drain properly the first day - it was fixed after notifying the front desk. View out the window was a wall several feet away. Air conditioning unit was loud and rattled all night, and the bed was hard and uncomfortable. Parking was $50 per night, but that appeared to be par for the downtown area."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Check in took a little longer than expected as there was only one front desk clerk and a really long line. It wasn’t her fault as I heard her mention she asked for help but the manager brushed her off. The room was small but worked for us. The view of the bay was amazing and it was so neat"

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"What a fabulous hotel, the oldest in the city, old world charm!!! we had a fabulous room on the fourth floor overlooking the beautiful tree that sprouts up our balcony was wonderful view of the city. Can’t stay enough about this fabulous hotel!!!! classic margarita in the salt and whiskey bar was delicious as where the Parmesan fries!!!! Robert met us at the door and was absolutely charming! Victor pointed us in the right direction to enjoy the gaslamp quarter and had lots of helpful tidbits if I ever come back to San Diego I am absolutely staying here!!!!!!"
