Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town

8/10 Good

"The night shift front desk male and female was very pleasant and helpful when we checked in he provided good information and also held another room for us the next day."

Handlery Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were super helpful and welcoming. I asked for extra towels and I had them in less than 10 minutes. They were also very helpful and knowledgeable when telling me about the hotel. That being said the pictures and rooms are very dated. The carpet is filthy and the windows don’t shut all the way. Beds are doubles so definitely felt small and we only got 2 pillows per bed which is fine. You definitely get what you pay for but this definitely isn’t the nicest hotel."

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here two years ago & decided to come back to the Old Town Inn, instead of one of the big chain places at nearby Hotel Circle. There's free parking. Security is good as you need a room key to call the elevator or get into the stairwell. Staff is engaging and friendly. They really make you feel welcomed, which I appreciated after a long drive from LA. Rooms are clean. We stayed in a room with two queen beds. I liked there was a sink in the bathroom and outside of it too. So you can get ready while someone is showering. Breakfast was yogurt, hard boiled eggs, packaged danishes, bagels and muffins. And my favorite, the waffle maker! The breakfast room staff worked hard keeping everything stocked. It was busy for Memorial Day weekend, but quiet at night. The homeless people from under the freeway or by the transit center don't make their way to the hotel. It's convenient to walk to Old Town and to the trolley station. Much easier than driving everywhere or waiting for an Uber/Lyft. I'll be back."
