Top San Diego Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful historic hotel! Absolutely loved the atmosphere and my room faced the city which was lovely. I do wish the elevators were wider but that can't be helped."

The Neon Elm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really cool hotel with modern tech amenities. I really liked that the front door and my hotel room were all accessible by code and not a key card. My room was great and yes, very small, but I was visiting the city to do stuff and not hang out in my room so it served it's purpose no problem. I also liked that it came with a kitchenette with utensils, plates, cups, etc. which I did end up using! I did not realize that there was no hotel parking and I had to figure that out on my own after arriving. It all worked out though, and I was able to find and secure free parking every night of my stay which was great."

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"I liked the the room looked nicer than on the pictures! It took a while for the deposit to go back, no place to do laundry, the tv wasn’t a smart tv, the shower didn’t drain well, and they charged for parking. It was a fairly reasonable price to stay the night and they let me leave the car there while me and my guest got breakfast at Achilles down the street (a cool outdoor coffee shop) when we checked out."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, excellent staff"

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with good air conditioning"

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay. Walking distance to seaport which is a must see everytime we visit. the staff were so nice and helpful. The view was amazing and we will definitely stay again."
