Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The corner king had some amazing views. We ran into an issue with the room that was not originally corrected but then it was corrected and compensated. I was pleased with how it was handled"

Sheraton San Diego Resort

8/10 Good

"Had a mix up in the beginning, staff recovered handled it. Based on reviews I worried a bit about airport noises but the plane noise was inconsequential. All three pools was beautiful, great property and great location. Warning the GPS into the hotel goes thru the airport. Do not enter arrivals or departures. I got lost 2/2 times so not sure where. Good luck!"
