Top San Carlos Hotel Reviews

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"Great location with beautiful pool and great restaurant. Checkin was a little hectic because it was very busy, so the front deck clerk didn’t share WiFi info or explain simple things like where the elevator was… but once we got settled in it was great."

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego! The hotel was clean, the customer service was excellent, and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The luggage and valet staff were especially amazing throughout our entire stay. Our room also had an incredible view overlooking Petco Park—it honestly felt like having a rooftop bar right outside our window! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"We had the best weekend stay at the Omni! We were in San Diego for a concert at Petco Park, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Being right next to the stadium made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable, and the VIP stadium access was such an amazing perk. We also loved spending time at the pool and really appreciated how friendly and welcoming all of the staff were throughout our stay. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. It was the perfect hotel for our weekend getaway, and we had such a great time from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at an inside bungalow which was fine on this beautifully landscaped property. We were on a small lake with a fountain that was relaxing. Also, there was plenty of things to do including climbing the tower, feeding the ducks and fish, and walking around the grounds. The Barefoot Bar is one of my favorite places to eat and drink with a great view and delicious food."
