Top Desert Garden Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Had some issues with the cleanliness of my room upon arrival. The rooms supervisor took action right away and made it right, which improved the experience."

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"Just a hop,skip and jump away from Petco Park and Gaslamp District. Very nice hotel,valet parking staff was nice and helpful. Only reason I rated the way I did was because I asked the gal at front desk if someone could go to our room and try to fix out TV since it was NOT working at all. Husband and I were trying to watch the World Cup games before heading to the concert. We also never received our drink vouchers that were part of the package when the room was initially booked.Bar/Restaurant were nice and clean."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to stay as it is at the top of the Gaslamp District in San Diego. Walking distance to Petco Park, the San Diego Convention Center, and the Navy Pier. Plus is just blocks from my San Diego office. Great and Helpful staff and they are always ready to get you directions to the best for or experiences within walking distance and beyond."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

8/10 Good

"I loved this hotel! My only (but a major) complaint is that it was impossible to get time by the pool. People claimed all the lounge chairs early in the morning and stayed all day. One of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the beautiful pool, but there was no organized system for hotel guests to be able reserve a spot or to limit the amount of time people can use the lounge chairs. It was very disappointing. But everything else was great."
