Discover where to stay in San Diego.
San Diego is the kind of city where flip-flops are appropriate year-round and sunsets steal the show. With its laid-back surf culture, craft beer scene, and some of the best tacos north of the border, this coastal gem always delivers.
Whether you’re beach-hopping or exploring Balboa Park — your hotel stay should live up to the setting. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.

#5 Cherokee Lodge

#4 Holiday Inn Bayside

“Reliable and relaxed. Holiday Inn gave us easy access to the waterfront, rental bikes, and that classic comfort we’ve come to appreciate. A great choice for convenience and family-friendly simplicity.”
#3 Hotel Marisol

“A boutique oasis with Spanish flair. This was elegance without the ego—bright rooms, thoughtful touches, and a palm-filled courtyard we never wanted to leave. One of our favorite island stays.”
#2 Bay Club Hotel
