Concierge "If you're in San Diego for a beach vacation, this isn't for you, but it is close to the convention center, and attracts a lot of guests with business there."
DK Eyewitness "A $56-million renovation has restored its past glory, with mahogany furniture and paneling, tile floors, and luxurious rooms."
Rough Guide "Across from Horton Plaza, this has been Downtown’s poshest address since 1910."
Lonely Planet "No hotel in the region can compare to the Hotel del Coronado for history, but US Grant, built in 1910, comes close." Full review
Star Service "Its unusual tenor is that of a quiet whisper, a mood that surprises those aware of this city's rowdy and rambunctious vibe. For those looking for a tranquil retreat this is downtown's top pick." Full review
Gayot "Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the old-but-new hotel features 270 guest rooms, 47 suites, two bi-level penthouse suites and an eleventh-floor technology penthouse."

Frommer's "Following a $56-million renovation, one of San Diego's most historic properties has been welcoming visitors to its redone premises since 2006." Full review

DK Eyewitness "In the heart of Little Italy, rooms contain a queen bed, TV, and refrigerator. A coinoperated laundry is on the premises, as well as free parking. Great Italian restaurants are just outside."
Rough Guide "Good-value hotel within walking distance of the city centre."
Gayot "Guests looking for a stylish, moderately priced hotel within walking distance to downtownâs Gaslamp District, Harbor Island, the convention center and Little Italy will love La Pensione."
National Geographic "Unpretentious 75-room hotel has small, basic rooms (a few of which suffer from street noise) but the Little Italy location is ideal for shopping and dining, and is less than a mile from downtown." Full review
Frommer's "This modest courtyard hotel smack dab in bustling Little Italy offers an unbeatable value for travelers who are more interested in exploring than snoring" Full review
