Top Japanese Friendship Garden Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The front desk wasn’t really friendly"

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a little gem The location is brilliant - only five to ten mins walk to the tram. Close to little Italy Staff lovely Room clean Really good hotel Great transport links for the Zoo Walking distance to Gas Lamp district and Sea Port"

The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"I love this turn of the century hotel. It is beautifully maintained. I felt like I was going back in time during the gilded age when I stepped into the bar. The only negative is that , although downtown San Diego is beautiful and you will want to walk around, there are a lot homeless people."

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

6/10 Okay

"While the property itself is beautiful, my experience was severely marred by a deeply disappointing and deceptive interaction with the staff. During check-in, your team offered me what they explicitly marketed as a premium "upgrade with a balcony." Trusting their recommendation, I accepted. However, upon entering the room, I realized I had actually been downgraded.I originally booked and paid for a premium Bayview room. Instead, the room I was given faced the building's loud air conditioning equipment. The noise from the balcony was deafening, making the outdoor space completely unusable.It is incredibly disheartening to realize I was intentionally misled by your staff. I paid for a scenic, peaceful view and was instead tricked into taking a noisy, undesirable room."

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Breakfast was good. Being charged 38$ a night for parking at a hotel you have a room at is insane, but it’s CA at least we had parking inside a garage and not the street. It is a tight garage but manageable. Staff is not friendly or helpful whatsoever. You can truly tell they hate their job. Don’t bother with the pay at property option, they’ll still charge your card for at least 1 night and then collect remaining at check in. Then leave the 1 night they ran as a “verification” charge pending for several days putting your total over 200$+ than what you paid until the pending charge rolls off. Got the deposit back before the 200$+ verification card rolled off. Convenient location , 10-20 min from all the hot spots. Barn doors on restrooms were a privacy concern. There was 4 of us in 1 room and you could hear everything from the bathroom and even see through the opening that sits right infront of the toilet. Awkward but we managed to just be vocal when we’d be using the bathroom so no one walked that way esp since we had a toddler with us… no locks on a bathroom with a toddler, let alone at all is odd but we made do. Overall probably would stay again due to the convenience, price and breakfast inc. would just pay room all upfront to avoid verification charges. Side note my parents also had their own room and had dirty bed sheets. A women’s entire face of makeup was smudged on the sheets. Worst part, she didn’t notice till check out when making sure she didn’t leave anything."
