Top SeaWorld Hotel Reviews

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is an oasis in Old Town San Diego. It was perfect for a stay before an early flight. The staff were the nicest staff I've encountered at a hotel in literally years, and it wasn't just one: it was all three that I talked to. The facility is quaint and lovely. If I return to SD and need a hotel near the airport I will definitely stay here again."

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"First time visiting San Diego with a baby and The Dana Team made sure that we have everything we need. We loved the beautiful, relaxing view from the balcony and the spacious Junior suite. Front Desk was very helpful, our room was always tidied up nicely. Also loved the proximity of the hotel to the attractions we went to. Very minor thing— we didnt find our “do not disturb” hangtag in the room but i’m pretty sure had we just called that they would give us one. Overall, an unforgettable stay and we highly recommend staying here."

Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great beachside stay! Be mindful of the surrounding area having a lot of activity into the late evenings -- you can hear all the fun while you try to sleep. No microwave in the room I stayed at, but there are at least ample restaurant choices within walking distance. Overall happy to stay have stayed there and wouldn't mind returning, but not with little kids (because of the evening noise)."

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld Near Old Town
