Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

Kings Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Room was cleaned daily, property was clean and staff was helpful and friendly. "

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good

"Room could have been cleaner, there’s some dried blood on the bathroom door (yikes) that’s been there for a while it looks like. But overall not as bad as I thought. The pool was very nice. Staff was very nice. Questionable neighbors especially at night time but if you keep to yourself it’s fine lol. "

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld Near Old Town

6/10 Okay

"Check in was good no problem at all. After checking in we decide to grab a coffee. When we got the coffee the cups did not seem very strong. When we were going back to the room my daughters cup started bending and making the hot coffee fall on her hand. I asked for a clean up and some ointment for the burn. Never did staff do anything to help us in that area. Then the sofa bed did not have clean sheets. I asked for them and it took them over 2 hours to get them to us until I let them know it was 9 and my daughter was tired "

Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Hotel Circle/SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very accommodating, friendly and clean. The decor is updated simple contemporary. The breakfast buffet has plenty to offer and to our surprise, the hotel offered a complimentary dinner buffet Tuesday and Wednesday (week of Mar 28 - Apr 3, 2026). This was our second enjoyable stay with Homewood Suites by Hilton, the first being in Mt. Pleasant, SC. "
