Top Central San Diego Hotel Reviews

The Atwood Hotel San Diego - SeaWorld/Zoo

8/10 Good

"After 2 incredibly awful and disappointing nights, we were ready to be just...done with a cursed weekend. And, as this was our least expensive lodging for the weekend getaway to San Diego, we set out expectations with the bar so low, it was resting comfortably on the floor. I was TRULY surprised. Room was spotless, location was great, lady who checked us in couldn't have been nicer. Bed was SO comfortable! Would definitely stay here again."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at this hotel felt like a fever dream—in the best way. Every detail, from the entrance to the pool, restaurants, bars, and rooms, feels thoughtfully designed and unique. Staff were caring, attentive, and professional, and even the bar menus had personality. It's a great fit for young-hearted, free-spirited travelers wanting something different from the typical hotel experience. Now the downsides. From Friday through Sunday night, the hotel was packed, and most of the crowd didn't seem to be actual guests. The bars and pools are open to the public, so guests don't get priority access to amenities they're paying for. The pool was the biggest letdown. When we asked the concierge about reserving poolside seating, we were sent to the pool concierge, who told us to book via OpenTable—nothing was available until the following week. We asked if any seats were reserved for hotel guests or available first-come, first-served, and were told no on both counts. Disappointing, especially since most pool-goers didn't appear to be guests. As a paying guest, I'd expect some priority access to amenities included with my stay. Overall, the hotel is beautiful and full of atmosphere—I loved the vibe and attention to detail—but the lack of guest priority for the pool and amenities took away from the experience."

Kings Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at Kings Inn over several years and I keep coming back because it is clean, safe, and family friendly. Always enjoy the pool and hot tub. It’s minutes from Olde Towne, shopping and the beaches. If you’re tired of the huge hotels and want a nice quiet place to be in San Diego this is it."

Town and Country San Diego

8/10 Good

"Staff was very lazy. Arlo had the worst breakfast service I have ever seen."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

8/10 Good

"Staff great. Helpful, accommodating. Rooms are dark and dingy. Broke and outdated. Furniture peeling but in the end got the job done for a temporary stay."

Best Western Seven Seas

8/10 Good

"Quality hotel for the price."
