Top California Tower Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and nice staff"

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Me and a couple of friends did a staycation at the Lafayette to celebrate my friends engagement and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff left us a nice little surprise in our room consisting of champagne and some fruit. It was so sweet. We spent the whole day at the pool on Sunday and then went to dinner outside of the hotel but came back later for a night cap. Always love spending time at the Lafayette and cannot wait to go back. A final thank you again to all the amazing staff!"

Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from my room's city view, the cozy robes provided, the comfy bed, the food and all the AMAZING hotel staff -including the bartender at the pool were exceptionally great. I will definetely stay at the Alma again!"

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay helpful staff very comfy bed"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My girlfriends and I stayed here over the weekend for my Bachelorette party. It well exceeded all my expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the property was very well maintained and clean! The room itself was spotless and beautiful, not to mention the cool high tech gadgets used in the rooms to operate the lights, AC, and privacy sign. The one downfall was that the AC was not super effective and did get a bit stuffy in the room, but it's understandable because it is an older building but hopefully it's something they can look into updating soon. The beds were SO comfy and clean, we slept like babies! Will definitely be gong back and would recommend this hotel to anyone!!"
