Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Great pool area for kids, friendly staff, quick access to Petco and uber for trips to legoland. Room was basic, clean and daily maintained. Great experience."

Hotel Indigo San Diego-Gaslamp Quarter by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and responsive. Very clean and great location, close to all things gaslamp. Great gym too. I highly recommend this hotel and would book again in a heartbeat."

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Super cute European style hotel in a great location. Had a small bump as our sofa bed would not open up, but the staff went above & beyond to make up for it. Great customer service! Shout out to Kimberly for making it all happen!"

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Great hotel for a romantic gateaway! It is right in the middle of all the action in Gaslamp. Very convenient to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and museums. You do not need to rent a car, most share rides were under $15 for the furthest ride. If you require quiet and silence to sleep - that will be challenging. The staff does provide earplugs, which was a nice perk. However, the night does get quieter as the nearby places start closing. The staff is very communicative and nice. They stay consistent of making sure you have everything you need and if there are any needs, they accommodate quickly. The hotel does have an interesting look - think modern contemporary and prison cell! We loved it!"

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Good location Rooftop pool was not deep enough for adults, only 3 feet The rest was good"

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"thank you very much!!"
