Top Balboa Park Carousel Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Historically Classy!"

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

8/10 Good

"Room was decent size but found it odd there was a desk area without a chair although I could've asked for one. The location was great next to the freeway and close walking distance to Little Italy and other nearby attractions. The underground parking lot is small for the size of the hotel but managed to mostly find a space to park."

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"MY, stay at the hotel was fabulous. The check-in was very smooth. The front desk was very polite and my room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. It had excellent amenities and I would recommend staying at this hotel to anybody looking for a very nice hotel with excellent amenities with an amazing staff."

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the palihotel was definitely a memorable experience. Although a brief stay, the memories wil be embedded in my mind. As soon as I entered I enjoyed the vintage setup. Takes you back to the early 1900s even the outfits of the front desk staff had a retro feel to it. The staff were helpful, kind, warm and courteous! Then took a ride in the vintage elevator. At one moment they were the fastest elevators in the world. Next I entered the room, it was quite faint but very clean and homey like. The bed was very clean and comfortable. The shower was phenomenal, excellent water pressure, spa like. I could stay there all night. Then I experienced the rooftop bar and lounge area. Great 360 view of the city. Excellently lit, the vintage sign is a classic photo op. The bartender was very impressive and mixed great drinks. When in San Diego definitely stay there."
