Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Sea World Area

8/10 Good

"Breakfast clean room staff air conditioning good."

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time! I booked a last minute stay due to an issue at my last hotel, i booked it around 10:45pm and arrived 15 minutes later to find that my room card, parking permit, and all other info was already set up. Shiela at the front desk was so kind and friendly. The room was clean, the mini fridge is perfect, the wifi works great, and there is a microwave in the lobby for 24/7 use. The continental breakfast was awesome with coffee, juice options, and even a fresh waffle bar! I didn’t get to try the gym or the pool but they both seemed clean and i’ll definitely be retuning!"

Best Western Seven Seas

8/10 Good

"It was a good hotel for my 1 week stay in San Diego. Close to old town, balboa park and the baseball park. It was nice to have a restaurant, and food was good. Only negative is there isnt much within walking distance, no stores, just other hotels."

Cosmopolitan Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"The room was awesome! Everyone was super sweet. Unique experience."

Old Town Inn

8/10 Good

"Séjour d'affaires d'une nuit près de l'aéroport. L'hôtel est conforme aux attentes et propre. Notre chambre se trouvait dans le bâtiment annexe, nettement moins bien que le bâtiment principal, et il n'y a pas d'ascenseur : pas idéal quand on est au 2e étage. Nous avons aussi remarqué une odeur désagréable dans l'établissement. Le petit-déjeuner est basique mais correct, acceptable pour une nuit près de l'aéroport. Le vrai point fort du séjour : le personnel, gentil et accueillant."

Kings Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Good location and the pool was great."
