Top Ocean Beach Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"No smart tv's"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a fantastic hotel! Location was amazing, easy walks to all of the neighborhoods, right on the bus line, and a 15 minute walk to the water. The fitness and yoga rooms were beautiful, water filling stations on several floors, the front desk staff was so friendly and accommodating. The room is a little small, the floor space is a bit tight, but you don’t go to San Diego to spend a ton of time in your room. The room was very nicely appointed, and the shower was great. Love that the room had both a mini fridge and microwave! We had one room with two double beds, for a parent and two teenagers and it worked great for us. Plus, the price of the hotel is less expensive than others in the area, so a slightly smaller room makes it more affordable. The area was safe and quiet. Would absolutely stay again!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"It was a very nice property and conveniently located. The only inconvenience was that our room was in tower three, which is not attached to the main building so it was more inconvenient to get to the fitness room and the pool. The rooms were spacious and well maintained.I loved that there was a water filling station in the building, which included dispensing hot water!"

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was nice place to stay with family. I felt more safe that it was gated parking to get in. The swimming pool was great on the hot weather my daughter enjoyed swimming. The only thing was the microwave handle was broken and it was hard to open but ai found a way to get it open. Otherwise our stay was great!"
