Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent
"Check in and check out was a breeze and the valet was also quick and efficient. Our room was large and wonderful. The view from our large balcony was perfect. The shower was nice and relaxing and the room set up was great. We love this hotel in downtown SD due to its proximity to Petco Park, the convention center, restaurants, the water, and the train."
