Scenic Hotels in San Diego

"The sea-view room was great, and the location was convenient, close to several popular attractions. The pool was large with long opening hours. The only downside was the parking; it seems they might lease out spaces to the airport, which made it poorly organized. Despite the $55 daily parking fee for hotel guests, finding a spot often meant a long search and a long walk, sometimes even having to park on a dirt road."

"It's very close to the beach, the whole area is lively, there's a bank and supermarket across the street, and the surrounding area is bustling with restaurants and eateries, especially at night. It's very convenient. San Diego also has a relatively safe atmosphere. There are places to sleep, kitchens, and lots of interesting people. It's a great place."

"The location is good, but the room is very small and quite old, and it’s very noisy at night. The main issue I’m unhappy with is that they overcharged me by $61.91. I called the hotel, and they told me to contact Trip.com, but Trip.com doesn’t make it easy to reach customer service. I guess even if I manage to get in touch, they’ll probably tell me to contact the hotel again. Being pushed back and forth like this is really frustrating."

"When I went there, it was the off-season of travel. Because the language was not very good, I didn't expect to communicate with the hotel staff to be very smooth. They were warm and thoughtful, but they had a sense of boundaries, and they also helped me recommend discount coupons for the surrounding restaurants. Close to the sea, the bed was dry and warm, and there was no trace of tide at all. The front desk staff was very professional. It rained one day and reminded us that we could bring the umbrella at the door. It was really intimate!"

"The hotel is wonderful, very convenient location, no need to look for where to eat, the food is delicious, the reception and bar staff are friendly. I didn’t have time to finish the wine, so they already poured it for me)))"

"The hotel is very close to the city center, with convenient transportation and clean environment. The hotel front desk service attitude is very good, there is a free gym, timely sanitation and cleaning, and 24-hour hot water with a suitable temperature."

"Even after staying for 3 nights, slippers and bottled water were not provided once. Others are not bad, the environment is also very good, the location is superior, and parking nearby is also convenient"

"Upon check-in, I was asked to pay for the room, which I did. However, I noticed the amount charged was higher than the total from my original booking. I asked the receptionist (I believe his name was Raul, though I’m not entirely sure) why that was. I explained the amount I had been quoted during booking. He then mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that a $150 deposit is taken at check-in. I told him this should have been communicated before processing the payment, as it’s standard practice to inform guests of such charges upfront. While I wasn’t pleased, I went ahead and paid. I also mentioned that I had submitted a request in advance for a room away from the elevator with a good view. He told me the hotel was fully booked, which confused me, since I had booked well in advance and included my request at the time. He assigned me Room 503, which was directly across from the elevator, not away from it. I didn’t want to complain as I had just traveled over 12 hours from London to San Diego and was extremely tired. I planned to grab some dinner and get straight to bed. However, the room was quite noisy—there was a lot of hallway activity, and the family next door had their TV volume quite high. I decided not to go downstairs and complain, hoping I could just fall asleep. Unfortunately, I was woken up around 3 a.m. by a crying child, and again at 5 a.m. At that point, I was extremely frustrated and went to speak to the receptionist on duty, Matthew. I explained everything to him, and he was very understanding. He said there was availability and offered to move me immediately…this was surprising, considering the earlier claim that the hotel was full. He moved me to Room 204. While it wasn’t far from the elevator either, he assured me it would be quieter since there were no large families on that floor. He was right—the room was much more peaceful, and I appreciated his help. At checkout, I saw the same receptionist who had checked me in and decided not to approach him. Instead, I spoke to Antonio at the other desk. I asked about the deposit, and he informed me it would take 2–3 business days to be released. Naturally, I wasn’t thrilled to hear this, especially after the earlier issues, so I shared my entire experience with him. He apologized sincerely and mentioned the initial receptionist may need additional training, which they would look into. Overall, the stay was decent for a short 3-night visit, but the start could have been handled much better."

"The location is very good, it is recommended that the sea view room, the landscape is better, you can see the US military base in the distance, park the aircraft carrier, there are always black Hawk helicopters constantly rising and falling during the day!"

"The location, the service, the valume proposition - are/were all perfect at the Hard Rock Hotel. The room was spacious and even enabled business meetings to be held as there was a convenient divider so that the seated area could be used for that purpose."
