"I stayed one night and overall I really liked it. The room was a bit small for my liking, but it was very clean and the bathroom was beautiful — it had an amazing view of the city which I loved. The location is a big plus since it’s walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shops. They also offer valet parking which was super convenient. I would definitely stay here again and I do recommend it!"

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff & nice room"

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Husband and I decided to visit San Diego last minute and after researching the downtown area decided the location of ES fit us perfectly. Short walk from the 992 bus stop to and from the airport. We booked through Expedia and selected a King Corner Suite. We had a wonderful view of the Harbor and will miss waking up to that in the am. Room was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed the nightly reception, bartenders were so friendly. Breakfast ran like a well oiled machine and food selection was wonderful. We were able to use our resort fee at the on-site restaurant and gift shop. The pizza at The restaurant was very good and the staff was excellent-thank you Chris! Gift shop attendant very helpful in helping us as well. This ES was the best one we have stayed at in a very long time. The location is a perfect for Seaport Village, walking to the Gaslamp District, Midway, and we even walked to Little Italy. Will definitely stay here again!"
