Top Whistle Stop Hotel Reviews

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"We love the hotel, staff and the bridge to Petco Field. We will be back next season to see the Pirates play the Padres!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"City view room noisy due to being near train. I wish I had sprung for the bay view. Great location. Easy to take public transport and close to little Italy and across the street from Embarcadero. The restaurant (claim jumper) has good happy hour. Beds very comfortable"

Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautifully updated and designed. SMEG mini fridge is on trend, but it doesn’t allow any space to put personal drinks or leftovers in it. Rooms are small and having a luggage rack would be nice. We had one bedside table and by the looks of their photos, we were missing the other. It was annoying not having a place to put my phone or water. The air conditioner was loud at times. The rooftop has ample seating. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy watching the sunset and having a cocktail on the rooftop, but we could imagine how beautiful it would’ve been. There are two “vintage” elevators but one was out of service, which was annoying. The working one was quite small where you could barely fit 3 people with 2 luggage. You’d have to wait for it to come back if it was packed or if you missed the brief access moment. We were on the 4th floor and would take the stairs for most of our stay. Be careful around check out time as everyone is trying to access it; we waited 10min since we had our luggage. There’s no iron; just a steamer that was clogged and did not work. There is no access to an ice machine; you must ask staff to retrieve. We had a housekeeper cleaning the room on our floor and eventually next door and she kept letting the door slam as she was accessing her cart. She had a negative attitude. The heavy doors started slamming around 8am and continued for hours. Please have them use a door wedge. We didn’t dine at the bistro but they have great coffee."

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Good room with a view. Clearing and comfortable. Walkable to Downton."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

10/10 Excellent

"The area surrounding this hotel was amazing. Saturday farmers market was really nice and the amount of places for eating and shopping within walking distance was great!! The only thing I would warn other about is the parking garage is made for compact cars and the cost was a little much but they have cheaper parking across the street that was much easier for us with a larger vehicle. All in all we had a beautiful trip and the stay was fantastic!!!!"

Lodge at 32nd

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, AC was amazing. Close to airport but noise wasn’t bad at all. Parking was the only hassle, but that’s San Diego."
