Top Balboa Theatre Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great, room was a bit smaller than expected but worked well for my family of 3. There was a hot water issue but fixed right away and one day we were left with no towels but again immediately corrected when we asked, brought up within 5 mins. I could see dust around the closet edges but the bed was always made and sheets clean. Also one of the elevators was broken which made a bit of longer wait at times. Great location to walk to seaport, midway little Italy or the convention center with a lot of restaurants. It was great to have parking available as well and not have to worry about that being downtown."

The Westin San Diego Bayview

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to the trolly and within walking distance to USS Midway, grocery store (Ralph’s), gaslamp quarter and convention centre etc… all within a 20 minute brisk walk. We were on a high floor and found our room quiet. The AC was very loud and the fan rattled a lot on our first night but the hotel staff was very quick to fix it the following morning and we had no issues after that. The renovations help the hotel rooms feel newer and the beds were very comfortable."

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. The location was great with lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Very clean and beautiful hotel that preserves and honors the history. Friendly staff at the desk, in the restaurant, and doing the housekeeping. We will be coming back whenever we are in the area."
