Top Nova SD Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Gaslamp Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this hotel for its reasonable cost and easy access to public transportation to other places we wanted to visit. My room was small but had everything I needed, including a mini-fridge and microwave. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was the standard motel breakfast, adequate, nothing special, but fine for starting out the morning. I would definitely stay here again."

Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"La atención del personal en recepción se excelente la calidad de los blancos muy buena la presión de la regadera podría mejorar los restaurantes con buen nivel de servicio, buena calidad, esos alimentos, gran ambiente. tanto sábado como domingo. Música en vivo de buen nivel en los dos restaurantes. Ampliamente recomendable"

The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, perfect for solo travelers, families, or business trips. The property was clean, the staff was helpful, and room service was excellent. The hotel overlooks a local park and is within walking distance of everything. Public transportation is close too"

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Keating was a wonderful experience! The staff is very friendly, and the hotel was well taken care of. The only thing I would recommend against is renting a car as parking around the Keating is ridiculously expensive. The Gaslamp Quarter is fun and a great atmosphere to be in. You can spend an entire week just exploring around the hotel and probably not see everything. All in all the whole trip was a great getaway for my wife and I!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, central located to walking activities. It's nice to have a view of the bay but not nice to look onto the dirty roof tops of the buildings in front of us. That I do not know if they can do anything about. On a nicer note we spoke with a lovely lady about different eating places we could walk to, she even gave up a coupon to eat at a few that were in front of the hotel, down the water front."
