Top California Tower Hotel Reviews

Gaslamp Plaza Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Nice to have valet parking included in parking fee."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at this hotel on multiple times for business trips, and it has definitely become my favorite hotel to stay at in the area. The rooms are extremely comfortable, and if you add the luxury of a waterfront view, the balconies offer beautiful sunset and city scenes. Overall, if the price and timing is right, I will always stay at this hotel."

Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"This hotel was right in the middle of a large homeless demographic so the main doors do not open, you have to use a key card or buzz the front desk. Our view was of the train tracks for the trains that ran ALL NIGHT long and a persons homeless camp (couch and blanket). In one of the windows of the building next to us, there was a skeleton (like the ones used at Halloween)- needless to say we closed the blinds and never re-opened them. We only stayed one night because our flight was cancelled or I would've found another hotel. When we came down at 4am to check out for our early morning flight there was a security guard sitting in the dark. He must be on guard throughout the evening because of the homeless population. We waited in the building until our uber arrived. Would never stay here again. Did not feel safe, especially with kids."

The Neon Elm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location is a perfect middle ground to the military bases, downtown activities, and the beach. Parking on the street is free 8pm-8am. There are different room sizes available so choose wisely. I chose a smaller room for my temporary stay. The room is so cute and overly clean. There is a fridge, microwave, smart tv, and a few other basic amenities. I definitely recommend this for your short or long term stays."
