Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Hotels. Com was fantastic easy site the Sheraton hotel was very clean updated look and Staff checking in was very accommodating. The Housekeeping staff very helpful and took care of any requests The pool is well maintained clean area and towels. Great exercise facility updated equipment and very clean. The 2 restaurants one for breakfast was very good and the X Brewery also had good vibe and food. Very close to San Diego Airport. About 10 to 15 mins with car to Little Italy, Seaport Village and Petco Baseball Park. The only thing that was a little much was paying for Hotel parking that was $50 a day for self parking , valet was $67 a day or walk across the busy street for $ 15.00 a day. Make sure if you stay at this Hotel ask for a High floor for views floors 7 or higher ask for Marina view normally they are even room numbers 😁"
