Top Old Town San Diego Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Diego Mission Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to everything we planned to see in San Diego. Room was quiet, neat and clean."

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very welcoming. Room was clean and large. Only negative is reservation said city view and our view was an old building across street that was empty, perhaps receiving some rehab. I guess that was the view of the city, but i inferred city view on reservation suggested our room would have a nice view of the city. Probably my mistake. OUR stay at the grant was very nice. We enjoyed it. People were great. "

Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in one of the newly-remodeled rooms overlooking the pool/bay in the Marina Tower. Really lovely and the room was exceptionally well-appointed. Great view! The staff was also accomodating with arranging a day-rate for use of the room since I wasn't flying out until the evening. Would absolutely stay here again."
