Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

8/10 Good

"Have to pay for parking"

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"This was our first visit to this resort and we found it to be a very enjoyable experience. Our room was very clean as well as the whole resort. The staff was very accommodating and eateries provided good quality food. The only negative was we found the gym to be somewhat small for such a large resort. Also the pool area would fill up really quickly, so finding a chair was a bit challenging at times."
