Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great place & amazing balcony views"

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

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious and clean. We also took advantage of the pool in the afternoon and it is well-maintained. Our TV didn't work and they were unable to fix it for us during our short stay because didn't have the parts, but they did credit our bill $50 and waived the $25 parking fee - good business. The breakfast was very good. The major drawback was the noise in the morning. We could hear running feet in the room above us, as well as doors slamming and loud conversation in our hallway, starting around 6:30 am. That was a bit rough after being out late the night before. All that said, we would likely stay there again if we have another event to attend in that area."

Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town

8/10 Good

"Nice location- 10 mins walk to old town and tour center! Hotel itself was good. Small room. Underground parking is convenient but it’s $31/day. Breakfast is complimentary. The AC in the room was the only thing i did not like, would wake up to it being 78 degrees in the room when AC should be on. Overall good hotel."
