"Wonderful location ! Best food and history in the area. Room was really nice and clean. Gym was nice!"

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying here at The Crowne and it was great! Room super spacious and a separate vanity area was a perk! We had a lovely view from the balcony and the bed was perfect! The staff was polite and helpful. Hotel is in a prime location near eateries and the mall. Definitely coming back! "

Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We will be coming back! We booked this as a last minuet stay-cation. The staff was all incredibly friendly. The facility is beautiful and clean. The spa was phenomenal and well worth the price. The pool and jacuzie were nice, tho the pool bar was close probably due to the season. The italian steakhouse on-site had a good breakfast delivered to our room and the dinner absolute delicious. Only qualms was some electronics in our room were kinda buzzing and, as all hotels, theres some aging bits that could cause conern. But aside from that it's literally perfect. This is also SUPER close to a mall, a theater, and lots of restraruants. We will DEFINITELY be coming back. "
