Top SeaWorld Hotel Reviews

Bahia Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have gone here probably 20 times, it's clean, convenient to walk to the beach, bike rental right at the resort. Very nice."

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

8/10 Good

"It is an older facility. Kept up decently and rooms are great. The charm is there!"

Heritage Inn San Diego

8/10 Good

"The rooms are clean enough. The staff are friendly enough. The site was clean enough. The parking lot was surprisingly adequate for a one-way passage. (entry on one end, locked gate closed on the other end.) The location suited its purpose. Nothing spectacular about it."

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"In general The Dana is a great place . I am being picky giving a 4 star for the maintenance of out door grasses with gardeners seeming to need to make noise mowing or trimming main grass Parkside (next to bay) not just one day but 2 or 3 days 7:00-8:00 am. One day should get the job done. Our balcony needed to be washed down from bird droppings. The rooms are clean and the place is very dog friendly. The pool next to the Firefly Restaurant was very clean and nice with enough umbrellas . Staff were great , friendly and helpful. Nice bar drinks and restaurant food varied. Outdoor dining a plus. Pretty lights at night. Grounds have nice tropical Plants everywhere. Friendly and nice to walk the grounds."

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This 'old school' hotel may be overlooked and under appreciated, but shouldn't be. For the money this little gem has so much to offer, and is so conveniently located to downtown, Old town and getting out of town. I highly recommend this lovely haven."
