Hotels near Casa de Balboa, San Diego

Very old hotel with dated rooms. The rooms are not good. I had to shift three times, and the front office staff handled the passport carelessly. Won't stay in this property again as I was not impressed with the room quality. Housekeeping is only available every three days—no staff to help to shift the luggage from room to room when I was moved. I booked a bay view room with a balcony, but they provided the first room, which has smelly rooms and no working aircon. Moved to another room without a bay view and, after a night, moved to another room on the eighth floor with a semi-bay view and balcony. Honestly was not impressed with the experience. No free water in the room. Wifi was not the fast.

Friendly and efficient check-in that included complimentary water bottles. Our balcony room on the 12th floor was on a corner, so we had views of the harbor, Coronado Island & bridge and Petco Park. We attended 2 games (Go Giants!) and appreciated our own special entrance, via the hotel sky bridge. It was so nice to just walk back to our room after the game. We easily walked to several restaurants and the Shout! House. The room was extremely clean and nicely decorated. The bed, pillows and linens were the most comfortable of a hotel bed we have experienced. There was one USB port and several plug ins. The Wi-fi, in-room coffee maker, security safe, refrigerator and blackout curtains were greatly appreciated. The closet was large, with hangers and two suitcase stands, so our room could stay tidy. We received drink vouchers for the bar on the 1st floor and imbibed before one of the ballgames. The balcony has sliding doors and brought in the fresh air. There was not too much street noise when sleeping. As soon as the sun comes up, the light rail trains, sirens, horns and loud engines can be heard. We didn't experience any noise from neighboring rooms. I think this was the first trip, ever, that there were no slamming doors, loud hallway talkers or running children. The bathroom was probably the oddest we have experienced. Extremely clean and updated, but the double sliding shutter doors were very bulky and noisy. Maybe some WD-40 on the tracks would help. There are decorative shutter ”windows” that did nothing to disguise sounds and smells. No sign of a fan, so we opened the balcony doors when in the room. Not a deal breaker, just a uniquely odd set up.

A pretty large resort, but with personal attention by the staff. Ground were well appointed. The rooms were very well appointed, beds comfortable, people serving us were pleasant. Would never hesitate to recommend the place. Can't wait to go back. My only complaints as follows - the one bartender at the Tequila Bar definitely wasn't into serving people with a smile. I asked him what beer he had available and he said ”some domestics and some imports”, turned and walked away. That was a turnoff. The other people who served us over the 3 nights were all fine, but not him. Also, we were on the 15th floor, yet surprisingly we could hear conversations down in the pool area, and especially the music playing. I found that as being a little odd. That is the only reason for dropping it down from 5 stars.

The room is large, with private bathroom, very clean and tidy full facilities Attentive service with a smile Hygienic and healthy breakfast with fruits and vegetables Very close to the city center Will introduce friends to go

I booked this hotel because I had a meeting in the opposite hotel. The ratings on Ctrip were good but the actual situation was still a little bit off. The sanitary conditions of the room were average. The cup was covered with a paper cover but there was still water in it. The air conditioner is particularly loud and the heating effect is average. There is plenty of parking for an extra $ 30 per night. The included breakfast is in Bunz and it tastes ok. Not expensive, just the level of a motel. May consider another hotel if staying again next time

This hotel was great. I really enjoyed the stay in this place. The room was big, clean and well maintained with a comfortable bed and a super nice fridge. There is a parking place for free, but soon it will be charged for 15$/day. The staff was very kind. There is also a well mantener swimming pool that we didn’t use. There is a nice restaurant with great waffles for breakfast close to the lobby. Overall a great place where to stay!

It was our 30 year anniversary . We wanted to walk down memory lane . Doubletree Hilton was the perfect place to do so . The trolley is like 100 ft from the hotel , wow !!!! We were there for 4 days and we only spent $12 dollars on transportation the whole time . We went to the seaport village , old San Diego village , San Diego zoo , little Italy , the can even take you near to the gondola rides . This hotel is pet , kid , business , couple friendly . Restaurants , FedEx , food stores , right outside . Indoor outdoor pool , gym , jacuzzi , Starbucks . Isabella is an awesome receptionist !!! Knowledgeable , friendly . This hotel is carefully paced to give you the best indulgence of the area . Great job guys !!!!

We're return customers to the 1906 Lodge, and always had a pleasant stay. The staff is still great and helpful! Breakfast and happy hour great, and they provide gluten-free options too! We really like the 1906 because it's a quiet and cozy oasis. However, the difference now is all of the rooms have a portable AC unit and portable heaters, as the main cooling and heating system is broken. We were there in July and the outdoor temps hit 79, and returning to the room at 9pm and our Garden King Spa Room was still 77. Not so cozy, and with the portable AC, not so quiet. Take this into consideration with the amount you'll pay compared to other options.

Poorly ran hotel. Restaurant closes on a whim even though we had a contract stating their hours. Strange homeless person roaming the halls with no action by staff, even after being alerted. No wash cloths again today. Cleaning service might do your room, might not. We asked for daily service. This place isn’t worth another stay.

I'm the kinda person that is huge on communication and fairness. I think her name is Brianna at the front desk....”wow” extremely nice and accommodating to us. And to be honest the entire front desk receptionists are very good at what they do. I will return.
