"."

Cosmopolitan Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Like living back in the old West, but with great air conditioning. This was a unique property and really cool. Fantastic location. If I had one complaint, there was no closet to hang clothes. But who cares? Great hotel."

Hampton Inn San Diego/Mission Valley

8/10 Good

"You get basic service"

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff was so welcoming and helpful even with last minute late night check out. Courtyard was beautiful. Property and room was modern, quiet and nicely maintained. It would be even better if there was easily visible signage from car at night for 1st floor rooms and if there was a ramp instead of the few steps. My room was facing courtyard at right rear of property with view of parking lot."

Comfort Inn San Diego Old Town

8/10 Good

"I like the location of this hotel, close to Old Town SD. All was well, I liked the bed, pillows, sheets were nice and crispy. Breakfast was good and a plus. Only thing, I didn't like and was not expecting was having to pay for parking and that they took $100 dollars from my card for deposit and was charged. I am sure it will be returned but kind of concerned about it."

Kings Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"CLEAN ROOM OUTDOOR POOL"

Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the free breakfast, and the room amenities, such as shampoo, hand soap, and lotion. I also liked the filtered water. Love the location, which is across the street from all the old town shops and restaurants, you have to try the homemade flour tortillas in the plaza, and Rockin Baja restaurant."

"Everything was nice, would recommend"
