Top Carmel Country Highlands Hotel Reviews

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Friendliness of staff was hit or miss. The room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned upon our arrival (trash on the floor, hair on the bathroom counter/floor/shower). Top Golf located on the property was $100/hr and was not fully functional. Breakfast buffet would have been amazing if the food wasn’t room temperature. You’re located across from the train tracks and the train sounds its horn frequently throughout the night. Overall, the location is great but I wish my experience was better."

Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel for young families. I have a baby and a toddler and there was so much for them to do. They had coloring stations, daily popcorn, a pool, a man making balloon animals, daily smores, on site food places, room service, and so much more. If you are looking for a place that will welcome your family look no further. This place is amazing."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying at The Omni when we go see the Padres play! The bridge from the hotel to PETCO Park is the best! So convenient. We also ate dinner at the on-site restaurant, Ace Porter and it was wonderful. Great food and staff! Highly recommend The Omni for an all-around amazing downtown San Diego stay!"

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

4/10 Poor

"The staff were very helpful and the place was clean. They did say that they were newly remodeled and some of the rooms are still under renovation. Our room was on the 3rd floor. You can still hear the noise from the outside from people walking by your room and the street across. The beds were very uncomfortable. My wife and I usually prefer a firmer bed but we can tolerate a soft bed. But our bed in our room was just bouncy. It felt like sleeping on springs alone with little padding. Not comfortable at all. The room was newly renovated per staff but the shower felt very unstable. It is one of those prefabricated plastic showers that is assembled. If you push against the wall, it will move. The vent system needs to be addressed. Our a/c unit keeps kicking in every 5 minutes or so being set at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. That added to the noise level. Overall, the staff were great. The free continental breakfast was decent, parking was free. So if you’re looking for just a place to sleep and can overlook the complaints mentioned here, then stay here. If not. You’re better off spending a few more bucks to get a more comfortable experience with your stay."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"I loved staying here the staff is amazing. The pools are awesome. The property is absolutely beautiful! The pool bar closes at 6pm and the drinks are pricey. The room was a great setup. There was a smell coming from the air conditioner. The shower just needed to be bleached some areas of mold on the grout. They give you endless towels and clean the rooms daily. Room service is fast. I would stay again."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing, beautiful, stunning, gorgeous. There aren’t enough words to describe this property. The 24hr diner was not only convenient, but delicious. The room was beautiful and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed our getaway eating breakfast by the pool or having a cocktail at their fabulous bar. Plenty of fun things to do on the property. Amazing for a getaway or girls weekend."
