Top SeaWorld Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"A smooth, easy, and peaceful stay. Everyone was so kind!"

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

8/10 Good

"The room was beautiful. View of the bay beautiful. Overall it was great except when I got there the man that helped me check in was very rude. Probably because I wasn’t the same color as everyone walking in. And it says on the map that there is Starbucks coffee but there isn’t . Was actually looking forward to walking there and not having to leave the hotel ."

Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was awesome, with views of the ocean, and convenient for walking around Ocean Beach. One drawback was a third floor room, but no elevator. Be prepared to carry your bags up three flights of steps. The staff was friendly and the room served its purpose. No big amenities, the A/C worked okay, at best; however the views from the room and the lounge area of the third deck were worth it."

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice well kept hotel."
