Top Santee Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good
"We had a suite which was clean and neat. Issues were promptly repaired. The room had a strange configuration with frosted glass doors for the shower and toilet areas that could be seen from sitting area...thus lacking privacy. We had one drink at the bar but did not otherwise eat or drink at the hotel. Convenient to Gaslamp restaurants and activities."
