Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Great room with a sea view. Short walk to the Midway and the Seaport Village. Friendly staff. We used the brilliant airport shuttle to and from San Diego airport, drivers were very friendly. A little dated but room was clean and spacious and ideal for a stop off between flights. Would stay there again."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Great little place to stay. We went to sea world from Orange County and I didn’t want to drive back at night so we stayed just for the night. Room is just what you would expect. The highlight was the heated pool. San Diego is always cold at night so it was perfect for the kids."

The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. The shower had a large gap in the door, causing water to leak all over the bathroom floor and outside the bathroom entrance every time it was used. We had to call every day for extra towels just to clean up the water. While staff provided towels, no one ever acknowledged the issue or offered even a simple apology for the inconvenience. It seemed like this was a known problem, yet it was never mentioned or addressed during our stay. Additionally, the room lacked a main overhead light, so the only lighting came from a few wall lamps, making the room feel quite dark. Parking was another frustration. At $40 per night, I expected a more convenient experience, but parking was extremely limited and often difficult to find. Overall, while the hotel had some positives, the lack of attention to guest concerns, poor communication, and additional parking expense made the stay feel less enjoyable than expected."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"EL STAFF DE RECEPCION AL RECIBIRNOS EXCELENTE UNA CABALLERO MUY ATENTO Y DISPUESTO A DAR RECOMENDACION Y REFERENCIAS DE RESTAURANTES. AL SIGUIENTE DIA UNA DAMA CINTHIA NO AMABLE, NO COLABORA EN ATENCION SE LE SOLICITO EXTENSION DE HORA DE SALIDA, ME INDICO QUE NO ERA POSIBLE, QUE LLAMARA AL DIA SIGUIENTE PARA VER SI ERA POSIBLE. AL DIA SIGUIENTE ELLA ESTABA EN RECEPCION LE SOLICITE EL TEMA INMEDIATO RESPONDIO, NO ES POSIBLE EL MANAGER INDICO QUE NO HAY FORMA DE DAR EXTENSIONES. PEDI UNA HORA MAXIMO."
