Top San Diego Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful and location was excellent."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and the restrooms are big"

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Habitaciones limpias"

The Neon Elm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you need a clean, simple stay and you are on a budget, this place is perfect. Pros: located in downtown, low prices, parking, perfect for couples, great atmosphere Cons: old building, A/C, room size, communication (see details below) The communication method is pretty much entirely through messaging. This can be a lot for someone who isn't tech savy, or someone who likes hotel service interactions. The building is very old, and the decor inside is really rustic and regal - but some of the units do not have AC units. When I stayed here, the first room we had did not have an AC unit and only had a ceiling fan. Our room did not get below 85 degrees, and the windows did not stay open - so no air flow. I reached out to the hotel via online messaging, they were extremely responsive. My only gripe was the fact that most of the communication was conducted via messaging. That being said - they were able to reassign us to another room with an AC unit and were extremely efficient through the process. All in all - if you are traveling on a budget, if you only have 1 or 2 people traveling, and you want to stay in downtown San Diego - this is the perfect place for you. The overall experience was great, and I would be happy to stay again."

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A+"

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

"Not a bad hotel, the area around it is iffy, but that’s to be expected since it’s Hillcrest. The hotel doesn’t have anywhere to park your car out front to check in real quick so be prepared to park a little ways away to check in then park your car in its garage. Also if you have a truck or big car in general don’t even think about parking your car in the garage because good luck if you choose to. All in all though it ain’t a bad hotel for the price."
