Top Mid-City Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room staff was very informative and helpful when needed. Breakfast was good!"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The Hard Rock Hotel SD is in the heart of the Gaslamp neighborhood, making it an ideal location for exploring the area. It’s very walkable, and the hotel itself has a Nobu restaurant, as well as several other restaurants and bars. I highly recommend it! They have fantastic pool parties on the roof and there’s something to do for everyone. We stayed in a suite and it was spacious and clean. The view of the city was beautiful."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

6/10 Okay

"My room was very clean. I like the smell of it. The beds were super comfortable. The parking was outrageous they charge and just sometimes there’s no parking at all. The parking some of them were too small for some cars. That hotel is kind of big, overcrowded. My room was on the third floor. I didn’t like that. I hate going up and down elevators. It’s a hassle."
