The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location to easily walk to all downtown attractions and places of interest. Comfortable character boutique hotel."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good

"My room was great for what you pay for, other than having some uninvited guest i.e. spiders & some roaches. Staff always had the room freshened up, bed was made, trash was always cleaned out. Location was perfect too, I felt like this was perfectly in the middle of everything I wanted to go see. I would definitely stay again but maybe on another floor / room."

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and recently updated. The ocean view was lovely and did not disappoint. The property was very clean and well-maintained. A few negatives we did notice: Being located on a balcony room did have some noise that reached us from the restaurants and bars below. We did get a few ants in our room. As for parking - the fee to self park or valet are extremely ridiculous. You should be aware that it's a very high fee of $90-100/per day. "
