Top San Diego Convention Center Hotel Reviews

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, in a good location. Walking distance to everything."

San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this Marriott location! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch, but a few things truly stood out: The Service: The staff here goes above and beyond. Every interaction was marked by genuine hospitality, professionalism, and a welcoming attitude that made me feel right at home. The Gym: As someone who appreciates a good workout while traveling, I was incredibly impressed. The fitness center is well-equipped, clean, and far better than your standard hotel gym setup. The Sky Bar: This was the absolute highlight of the trip! The rooftop bar has an incredible vibe, great energy, and absolutely stunning views of the city. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and take in San Diego. The location in the Gaslamp District is perfect for getting around, but the hotel itself is so good you almost don't want to leave. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to San Diego. Highly recommended!"

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Very centrally located in the best Hotel row in San Diego I usually stay at the Hilton, but will be staying here in the future. The only negatives that need to be considered and addressed is: For the whole North Tower, there were only 4 elevators for the hundreds of rooms. We waited up to 15-20 minutes just to get on the elevator. Pool lounges were mostly free, but the many that were surrounding the pool were around $150 each a day!!! That's $600 for a family of 4. You may not need to reserve one, but most were empty during the 4th of July holiday, while all the others had towels on them all by 8 am, so it was a pain just trying to enjoy the pool."
