Top Japanese Friendship Garden Hotel Reviews

Little Italy Inn - Limited Service Apart Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff excellent. Good quiet room"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Charming architecture."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and fairly priced. I like the amenities and the location. There were a few signs of aging, simple things that could have been done like repairs to elevator inside trim. Slider was kind of older and a little hard to lock. Overall our 1 night stay was great, we got a free appetizer and 10% off our meal at Claim Jumper so that was very nice since we were celebrating our anniversary. We will definitely come back."

Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms was very clean got some good sleep"

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"we had a great stay at Palihotel. The location was good and almost all the staff was helpful and friendly. We had an issue with one valet person, he was never around when we dropped off or picked up our car. At one point we waited a half hour and he finally showed up getting out of the passenger seat of a car. At $65 a night for parking that was frustrating. It was only one person and he only worked one day we were there. The other valet employees were great."

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and quiet. Would go back again!"

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very responsive and helpful. Nice to have a kitchen (though you need to remember to get oil, condiments, etc). Some pans, utensils, cups, and dishes available. Microwave and full fridge super convenient to have! Outdoor activity area was nice. Area surrounding hotel was a little sketchy but we parked on the street without issues. Biggest downside was the noise—planes overhead and more sirens than I’m used too (not sure of its bc hotel is located near freeway or the general area itself)."
