FAQs about hotels in San Diego









The Art of Easy Living

Sweeping along the coast against a mountain backdrop, San Diego has easy living down to a fine art. Its wonderful beaches and mild climate make it a favourite spring break destination, and with over 40 city breweries, there are plenty of ice cold beers to set the mood.

The city’s most recognisable landmark is the Hotel del Coronado, a wooden Victorian beach resort, now a National Historic Landmark. The original Spanish mission, the first in California, has been relocated to the Mission Valley area, and Old Town San Diego still has many Colonial buildings and quirky shops. Also great for shopping are Horton Plaza and the boutiques in the beachfront neighbourhoods.

The city’s most famous attraction is its zoo in Balboa Park, a few blocks from San Diego International Airport. One of the world’s largest zoos, it is well worth a visit, as is the fantastic SeaWorld, home to several killer whales. To see wildlife in its natural habitat head to La Jolla beach where harbour seals rest, or watch whales in season from Point Loma Lighthouse.

Just over the border from Mexico’s Tijuana, San Diego has a distinctly Latin American vibe and a variety of accommodation encompassing apartments, motels, B&Bs and hotels. See Booking.com for the best deals.

    The city appears clean, uncluttered, with lots of green space, beautiful flowering shrubs, flowers, palm trees, and beaches. We've visited before; this time we were in town for graduation at Point Loma Nazarene University, and enjoyed our stay. Balboa Park is amazing, and we attended an organ concert there last time.

    Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego.

    Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego. The Saturday market is wonderful in the plaza. The historic boats on the bay and the waterfront walk is beautiful. It's a pleasant walk to Seaport Village. Our grand daughter loves the carousel. The whale watching tours and dinner cruises are out of the area by the Midway historic ship.

    San Diego is so geographically diverse is so many things to do and go. The freeways are easy to use . The Mexican food and seafood is amazing. The beaches are beautiful, especially in Pacific Beach it’s so scenic . The restaurants are amazing shelter Island is a beautiful place to eat and to take a walk. The food is so delicious so many different cultures to choose from . Use Yelp to guide you to where go. San Diego can be very expensive plan your trip ahead of time. I would avoid Tour season April and September is the best time to come to San Diego to avoid the crowd .

    Perfect location in Little Italy district of San Diego. Area was very lively with bars and restaurants,also a variety of street markets. Only a short downhill all the way walk to Santa Fe depot. Our room overlooked the street and was remarkably quiet given all the bars and restaurants over the road. Overall an excellent boutique hotel. Rooms are on the small side with little space for storage but that did not spoil in any way an enjoyable 5 night stay. Staff were all courteous and very

    I booked a last minute room at the Keating because no other hotels had availability. I had to go to San Diego to visit friends who were at a conference and all the hotels in the Gaslamp District were either full or incredibly expensive. The Keating offered a rate under $300 which seemed very fair for what I saw in the pictures. I could tell it was an older property located in hundred-year old building but the location was where I needed to be.

    The hotel is in a safe area in San Diego downtown. The streets were all walkable and it is very close to the San Diego Convention Centre (15 min walk). It is a 5 min walk from the gaslamp area and close to many restaurants and shops. It is just a 10 min ride from the airport. The staff was friendly. The bed was very comfortable. The housekeeping staff was great! The lobby area was beautiful. This room is good for a 1-2 day work-related stay.

    The location is very good, 20/25 min by foot from the GasLamp quarter and Little Italy (the vivid areas of the city). There is also restaurants around (a good ramen restaurant, empanadas, mexican food...) if you dont wanna walk too much. The bed is comfortable, the shower is hot and the room is spacious enough. Plus comparing the price to the other motels/hotels around, this one is relatively cheap and you have what you would expect.

    We often stay at this hotel. It's the best deal in San Diego. It's not upscale or fancy, but always exceptionally clean and just a very nice cozy room. The grounds and common areas are very nice, the rooms are large some with kitchenettes and all with fridge and micro and dining table. This time our room had new carpet which was nice. Also, we didn't book a room with a kitchenette, but we got one :-).

    Very well valued quality of stay for anyone who is visiting San Diego and wants to stay in Downtown. The hotel is located at the edge of downtown core so it is very easy walk around the city centre. Hotel offers on site parking garage that they share in Holiday Inn (instructions of garage use are a bit confusing for non English speakers). Rooms are very spacious and clean!
