Top San Diego Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Are air conditioner was very very loud"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Aurora at front desk was amazing. Parking is just not convenient and very expensive"

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is steps away from little Italy. Perfect for visiting restaurants. Not far from the airport and San Diego zoo. It’s in a building with a gated entrance. The building is a bit dated but the room was clean and perfect size for a couple. We only stayed for the weekend but it was the perfect base to visit little Italy, La Jolla and the zoo. Beds and pillows were comfortable. No turn down service but you can get new towels as often as needed. Mini fridge in room. Shower pressure was amazing."
