FAQs about hotels in San Diego
The Art of Easy Living
Sweeping along the coast against a mountain backdrop, San Diego has easy living down to a fine art. Its wonderful beaches and mild climate make it a favourite spring break destination, and with over 40 city breweries, there are plenty of ice cold beers to set the mood.
The city’s most recognisable landmark is the Hotel del Coronado, a wooden Victorian beach resort, now a National Historic Landmark. The original Spanish mission, the first in California, has been relocated to the Mission Valley area, and Old Town San Diego still has many Colonial buildings and quirky shops. Also great for shopping are Horton Plaza and the boutiques in the beachfront neighbourhoods.
The city’s most famous attraction is its zoo in Balboa Park, a few blocks from San Diego International Airport. One of the world’s largest zoos, it is well worth a visit, as is the fantastic SeaWorld, home to several killer whales. To see wildlife in its natural habitat head to La Jolla beach where harbour seals rest, or watch whales in season from Point Loma Lighthouse.
Just over the border from Mexico’s Tijuana, San Diego has a distinctly Latin American vibe and a variety of accommodation encompassing apartments, motels, B&Bs and hotels. See Booking.com for the best deals.

If you're a smoker you may as well stay away from San Diego,...
If you're a smoker you may as well stay away from San Diego, the beaches were crowded and not a lot of places to sit. Everything is expensive. A few good points were there were a lot of restaurants, there was I believe a couple of amusement parks but we didn't attend those. Mission Bay has a lot of really cool seashells if you love to hunt for seashellsAAnonymous - 10Scored 10
Very friendly city, with lots of very good facilities.
Very friendly city, with lots of very good facilities. But things quite expensive. As with a lot of places visited worldwide, travellers arriving at airport get ripped off by taxi drivers taking them from airport to hotel. Rates ought to be clearly displayed so travellers can then make their choice.

The city appears clean, uncluttered, with lots of green space, beautiful flowering shrubs, flowers, palm trees, and beaches. We've visited before; this time we were in town for graduation at Point Loma Nazarene University, and enjoyed our stay. Balboa Park is amazing, and we attended an organ concert there last time.

Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego.
Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego. The Saturday market is wonderful in the plaza. The historic boats on the bay and the waterfront walk is beautiful. It's a pleasant walk to Seaport Village. Our grand daughter loves the carousel. The whale watching tours and dinner cruises are out of the area by the Midway historic ship.AlanUnited States - 10Scored 10

Area was very lively with bars and restaurants,also a variety of street markets. Only a short downhill all the way walk to Santa Fe depot. Our room overlooked the street and was remarkably quiet given all the bars and restaurants over the road. Overall an excellent boutique hotel. Rooms are on the small side with little space for storage but that did not spoil in any way an enjoyable 5 night stay. Staff were all courteous and very

The location in the Gaslamp quarter was perfect with easy access to restaurants as well as the Embarcadero. The staff was all friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating.

Moon jUnited States - From £229.46 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 469 reviewsSurprising big, and incredibly comfortable, we came to San Diego for a convention and Town and Country exceeded all expectations. Hotel food is not normally great, don't expect great food here. It's decent, it's not horrifically overpriced, but this is not a foodies resort; not even the coffee was good and coffee is always good. This resort is immaculate and well-designed for its guests. The Monkey Bar was adorable.LisaUnited States
