Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend"

Sheraton San Diego Resort

8/10 Good

"The only bad thing was the barn style slotted sliding bathroom door. You can clearly see people sitting on the toilet through the railings on the door."

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent

"Nice lobby, good pool, proximity was great. Food was great! Love the restaurant area. Fix the hot tub and you will go from an A to an A+"

Comfort Inn Sea World Area

8/10 Good

"Very clean room, very crowded breakfast room though"

Comfort Inn San Diego Old Town

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience. I would recommend it to anyone."

Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay overall. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and we had a very pleasant experience. There were just two things I didn’t particularly like. Breakfast is only served from 6:00 to 9:00 AM, which feels a little early when you’re on vacation and would like to sleep in. The biggest downside for me was the $20 per night parking fee. The hotel has plenty of parking spaces on its own property, so I don’t really understand why guests have to pay an additional fee just to park their car. In my opinion, parking should be included for hotel guests. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and were happy with the hotel."
