My husband and I wanted to stay as close to the Gaslamp Quarter as possible in downtown San Diego without spending too much. We booked a hotel through Expedia.com and got 3 nights at the Bristol Hotel for under $180 a night. The hotel was situated in a pretty good location. It was just a few blocks from the Gaslamp... more

This is a really nice boutique hotel in the heart of downtown. I was in San Diego for a convention, and loved the proximity to the convention center and the Gaslamp District. The room was beautifully furnished, the beds were comfy, and the amenities such as the robes and towels were very nice. The staff was friendly and they let... more

After reading reviews online I figured this was going to be a hit or miss. As soon as we pulled up we hit a home run. Metered parking was available right out front... more

This hotel was slightly less than I was expecting. It was in a good location near the gaslamp quarter. Service was okay and the property was a bit used (more so in the rooms). No major pros or cons but I would wait for a refreshment of the rooms before I stay again as there is a lot of choice... more

It's a sad fact that even a really, really great downtown location, updated room decor, and a great staff just can't overcome certain fundamental deficiencies in a hotel - like the view of and noise from a Greyhound bus barn at 5:45 AM, extremely thin walls, and bathrooms modeled on mid-1980s youth hostels in Europe.
