Top American Plaza Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"central downtown location . the sofia hotel cost less that most downtown hotels . older , historic hotel but very clean rooms and entry . the gym was nice but very hot ….. the room was small and you could not open any windows so we had to rely on air conditioning the whole stay which was a bit noisy ."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were really helpful and accommodating, it was a pleasure to stay there."

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!!!!"

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful property, central to the airport and transportation!"

Kasa Little Italy San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect, loved how comfortable the beds are! The apartment was very clean and beautiful. Loved it !"

The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Best Western Plus Bayside Inn

8/10 Good

"The size of our family room was perfect! The location is amazing. I will note for others that the parking garage is very small and an additional cost per night. There is no elevator when parking. There is no breakfast served either. Everything is very well kept up and I would come back!"

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The room appeared to be newly refurbished and the bathroom was nice. The main lobby looks amazing."

Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I saw 2.5 and 3-star reviews for this property, so I was a bit concerned. I was very pleasantly surprised at how perfect this hotel is. They have underground self parking (yes for a daily fee, but reasonable for the area), free breakfast included, very clean and quiet and modern rooms, three elevators (so you're not waiting forever), and a great location close to Little Italy and to Seaport Village (walking distance). I have stayed at hundreds of hotels over my 40 years of traveling domestically and internationally, and I would give this hotel a 4.5 rating! Only disappointment was that they could not give me a late check out, or would extend the checkout but wanted a $25 fee.(especially since I'm a Hilton Honors member). Oh well."
