Top San Diego Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Best Western Seven Seas

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, I enjoyed staying here. Everything was to my liking"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Really great stay no complaints or a small complaint but nothing serious the closet door in bathroom not wanting to stay closed. But great location a lot to do around there."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"If you're looking for a fun party weekend, this is the spot"

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed the hotel’s convenient location, with great views of downtown and the surrounding high-rise condos and apartments. Being so close to Balboa Park was a huge plus, as I could easily walk through the parks and trails during the day and enjoy the city’s nightlife in the evening. The renovated bathroom, shower, and unique mirror around the sink area were also nice touches. The front desk staff was decent and easy to work with. My biggest complaint was the bedding. The bed wasn’t particularly comfortable, and the blankets were very thin, which took away from the overall comfort of my stay. Overall, the location and room features were great, but the bedding could definitely use improvement."
