Harborview Inn & Suites-Convention Center-Airport-Gaslamp-Seaworld-Zoo-Balboa Park
3.4/5101 Reviews
Downtown San Diego
The location of the hotel is very good, next to the lively ”Little Italy” dining street, close to the attractions such as the aircraft carrier USS Midway and Victory Kiss and the light rail station. However, the sound of planes taking off and landing at the nearby airport is relatively loud, and the hotel facilities are relatively shabby. There is no coffee machine and it is not convenient to drink hot water.
Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, San Diego

Downtown San Diego
Very fond of the hotel, the living room is small, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, small dining table are all available, but also equipped with a full range of dishes, cutlery, and disposable scouring pad, cleaning Fine, super comfortable. The only drawback is that for the Chinese people who earned the soft sister currency at 1:7+ exchange rate, the parking fee is comparable to the rental fee, and it stops 45 knives per day and stops 37 knives. Finally, I chose to park in a public parking lot 2 blocks away, 20 knives/day, 7 or 8 minutes each time.

깔끔 Dark interior There is a big 7-Eleven right in front of me, but I'm afraid of a lot of homeless people.

Very nice renovated room. Just had an issue with parking in hotel parking lot with an oversized vehicle. Luckily there was an ACE parking lot across the street from the hotel that was actually less expensive.

The location is on a concrete island. Literally. The on ramp to the freeway & the off ramp from the freeway. It was difficult to find the way to the “entrance” I felt vey nervous getting out of my car. It was nighttime and many street people hanging out at the building. The night clerk was so sweet and helpful. I think she could see the fear in my eyes. She put me in a room within view of the office. She also let me keep my car in front of office. The room was clean and comfy. The carpet was disgusting. Shower head barely worked. Overall, for the rate it was a good deal. They need to install a safety door latch. . I would have slept better. Checkout was super easy and friendly.

La's hotels are a bit expensive, as is this one, but the facilities are pretty good, and now it is not far from a supermarket. There is a charge for parking downstairs, $ 20 a night, the refrigerator in the room can only be scheduled, so there is no way to buy ice cream, the room space is large, this is not bad! On the whole as a night before returning home, everything is good except the price!
