Top Japanese Friendship Garden Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"10/10"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Near the port"

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very responsive and helpful. Nice to have a kitchen (though you need to remember to get oil, condiments, etc). Some pans, utensils, cups, and dishes available. Microwave and full fridge super convenient to have! Outdoor activity area was nice. Area surrounding hotel was a little sketchy but we parked on the street without issues. Biggest downside was the noise—planes overhead and more sirens than I’m used too (not sure of its bc hotel is located near freeway or the general area itself)."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really loved the staff and how historic the Sofia Hotel is. However, it could use an update (while still maintaining its integrity)."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed the hotel. Great location close to little Italy. Was provided an excellent room as it was for a special event by Litssky. Large comfortable room. Will definitely book again."

Pendry San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"all of the staff was great and very friendly"

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful and location was excellent."

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is the perfect spot. Just off the freeway and about 15 minute walk from Little Italy. The hotel is super secure by requiring keycard access thru doors and elevators. The staff is amazing, extremely friendly. Coffee is superb and it’s available 24/7. The views from their sitting areas are enjoyable. The only thing I wish they could do differently, is that they would turn on the AC. The lobby area was always hot and they kept the doors open in 90 degree + weather. The hallways were also hot and stuffy. Also, we were not aware that their pool was under construction until we arrived."
