"Bposhtel is a great value for a solo traveler like myself. I stayed in a shared room (women only). Comfortable bedding, nice locker with free lock provided. Plenty of hookup for your electronics. Sam was an awesome host and I appreciated him sharing a little bit about this destination. I had juice, fruit, yogurt & a muffin for breakfast which was provided free.

Top California Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So aside from this place being super affordable, I’ve been to a few places where they charge more but got less. The staff here is very helpful and friendly, and I would recommend it especially if you’re on a budget."

Loews Hollywood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and the property were excellent as usual. Of course, this is what you should expect from the premiere hotel in Hollywood. Not much going on except for the Bachata event that was held at the hotel. It was very nice and included some great dance music. There was some after hours partying that took place after the buster brought me back to the hotel. I was tired and let them know. They of course dispersed. Only issue I really have is the amenities. For instance, the water machine in the gym is crap! It doesn't work. Hence, I procured at least 250 mini water bottles from the front desk during my stay. Also, I liked the idea of having a pool party for the Bachata event. However, alcohol, dancing, and kids do not mix. The pool area was way too small for event attendees and hotel guests to share. Apparently, you can have any brew you want as long as it contains pool water. Kids and their splashing made the consumption of Corona rather difficult. Nonetheless, we continued to party. I do it for family. Look, I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their stuff. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free. Even though Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with spoon engines, I still found time to enjoy all that the Loews and Ovation had to offer."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"Reserved for a king bed. Upon arrival I Received room keys and we noticed double beds. Spoke to guest services and they advise they were out of King rooms. No comunicación from the first staff that checked us in. They advise they will waive parking fee. They still charged my card for parking."

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall good location. I prefer the bay side to the boat dock side. The rooms are larger and nicer. It was very annoying that they charge guest an added 6% to their checks if you eat at the Firefly restaurant. That’s so weird. Never seen that before. I would’ve eaten off property if I had known that ."
