Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was clean, and the gym and pool were both nice. However, I was disappointed with the room view. I specifically booked and was promised a city view, but instead, my room overlooked the parking lot. The pool area itself was enjoyable, but the drink service was very slow. The bar was constantly packed, which made ordering and waiting forever for drinks - hotel needs more servers so we’re better accommodated. The pool restroom also needs much more attention and regular cleaning. It was in very poor condition every time I used it during my stay. Lastly, I was disappointed that my request for a late checkout could not be accommodated. Considering the amount of money I spent at the hotel during my stay, I expected a little more flexibility and better overall service."
