Hotels near University of California San Diego in San Diego

It used to be a Comfort Inn that we have always stayed at for over 10 years but now a Best Western. Very nice upgrades, great and friendly staff, love the location, A good place to stay. Close to downtown, Old Town, Zoo, and 5 minutes to the beach and shopping and golf just 5 minutes away also.

This was a fantastic location on the water front with several restaurants within walking distance. It was clean and very well maintained and the staff was very helpful. A spacious bathroom with all the needed things and very comfortable beds. Wish it had been warmer so I could have used their beautiful pool and more time to enjoy the workout area. Used the shuttle service to get to the airport

I had a peaceful night thanks to you guys

The location is good, parking is convenient at night, the price is reasonable, and the hygiene is good. The atmosphere in the lobby at night is really good. I will stay here again if I have the chance.

Friendly and efficient check-in that included complimentary water bottles. Our balcony room on the 12th floor was on a corner, so we had views of the harbor, Coronado Island & bridge and Petco Park. We attended 2 games (Go Giants!) and appreciated our own special entrance, via the hotel sky bridge. It was so nice to just walk back to our room after the game. We easily walked to several restaurants and the Shout! House. The room was extremely clean and nicely decorated. The bed, pillows and linens were the most comfortable of a hotel bed we have experienced. There was one USB port and several plug ins. The Wi-fi, in-room coffee maker, security safe, refrigerator and blackout curtains were greatly appreciated. The closet was large, with hangers and two suitcase stands, so our room could stay tidy. We received drink vouchers for the bar on the 1st floor and imbibed before one of the ballgames. The balcony has sliding doors and brought in the fresh air. There was not too much street noise when sleeping. As soon as the sun comes up, the light rail trains, sirens, horns and loud engines can be heard. We didn't experience any noise from neighboring rooms. I think this was the first trip, ever, that there were no slamming doors, loud hallway talkers or running children. The bathroom was probably the oddest we have experienced. Extremely clean and updated, but the double sliding shutter doors were very bulky and noisy. Maybe some WD-40 on the tracks would help. There are decorative shutter ”windows” that did nothing to disguise sounds and smells. No sign of a fan, so we opened the balcony doors when in the room. Not a deal breaker, just a uniquely odd set up.

The grounds were beautiful and well kept, our room was a great size and bathroom was spotless. The girls were the front desk were nice as well! We just had some encounters we did not appreciate. A moment after we drove up and I had just got off our truck to grab my purse and suitcase, we were already approached and told to move our vehicle for valet. No big deal, just a tad inconvenient. We just had to bring our truck around a second time to unload. The next morning at breakfast I wanted to sit in a certain area because all the other tables were dirty, then was told by management to leave that area. When I told them them if we can clean the tables, they told us sit at another table that had prints all over it. The waiter was nice however. I was also in line waiting to turn in my room key around 15 minutes and another customer cut me off right when I was about to be attended, turned around and just told me ”he just had to”, and no one said anything regarding that encounter. I understand some things are beyond the workers control as I have also worked in customer service. However, these encounters made me feel like I did not receive equal respect or consideration as other high-paying guests. Considering this hotel was quite pricey already. Parking was an additional $33 per night and we bought 5 waterbottles for $26 in the lobby store while other customers with Hilton loyalty were given 2 free bottles. This is not directed directly towards any employees, I just think all this has to do more with the Hilton Hotel name. I have had much better experiences at cheaper hotels. This was just an example of how famous names don't mean much when you charge us for the most miniscule amenities that should just come with the pricey room fee. That is common courtesy. Not impressed. If I could rate your ambience, it would get one star. Stay here only if you are into golfing and have money to throw away.

Affordable, motel hotel, room with TV, refrigerator, microwave, free breakfast, three floors, elevator, parking lot, small bathroom.

Our experience at this hotel was great, from checkin to follow up! We only stayed one night, but all of stay, plus our hurried departure, went very smoothly. Front desk reception is very welcoming. Our room was OK - I believe this is an older hotel, because the bathrooms are tiny. The room was impeccably clean. On our departure morning, we arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by Alice. She told us the price of the buffet breakfast was $20. per person, but asked if we were Marriott members. She took the time to go to the desk and check our status, and returned to tell us that our breakfast buffet was free. (Don't miss being greeted by Alice!). The buffet was much better than those you might experience at other hotel chains, and service was excellent - Alice was overseeing. We left in a rush, and I realized when we got to the airport that I had left my sweater. I called when we returned home and talked to Midge at Reception. Midge immediately put me on hold, and returned to say she had found the sweater and would mail it back to me. (Thanks to executive housekeeper Carina). We also received a personal email from Julie after our return, thanking us for staying with them. This hotel is just off a very busy Interstate, but is a real oasis. Again, the reception staff was most helpful to recommend restaurants nearby. You will feel like a very special person at the hands of the Sheraton staff.

We had called to check in early because my wife wanted to go get her nails done and I wished to stay at the hotel instead. Ms. Chuong at the front desk was exceptionally accommodating and so polite over the phone. Upon check in, Ms. Chuong and Ms. Cecilia greeted me at the front desk, checked me in with no delay, and even gave me a choice of what floor I would like to stay. There were a few toiletry items I was not able to take on the flight and the ladies at the front desk were excellent at getting me what I needed at no extra cost. Once I got to my room I noticed it was extraordinarily updated, and cleaned from top to bottom by Ms. Anna. Do not get me started on how comfortable the beds are and how quiet the hotel is. I could sleep till noon if I am not careful. Overall very satisfied!
