Comfort Inn Gaslamp Convention Center - San Diego

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Location is great. Rooms are small. Cancelled my second night stay and moved to the Hilton Bayfront. Like night and day difference. Hotel did not refund my second night but luckily hotels .com did.

I never write website reviews, but I got tired of people whining. This is a hotel. It provided me a clean, comfortable place to spend the night. The location in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter is unbeatable. It is about 5 blocks from Petco Park. A shuttle takes you from the airport and you can set up the return airport trip with the shittle company […] for $5. As far as small rooms, I am 6'4 and 240 pounds and the room was fine. If you want to hold a quare dance in your room, return to the search page and click on one of the properies that will charge you 4 or 5 times what this room is and see what you get. Read more

Reminded me of a place you can rent out by the hour

Morning customer service was friendly upon arrival but became more ghetto the next day when they knew we were leaving. Parking lot is around the corner about a half block away. Was not offered a luggage rack. Breakfast staff and maids were excellent. They were more suited to run to front-desk. Honestly would not stay again. Wydnham Hotel by Phil's BBQ […] was a lot nicer but away from Petco. We stayed there the next day. Should've stayed there both days. But you learn from experience. Read more

At the heart of the gaslamp district. . Great place to stay an not have to worry about driving.

The hotel is located in the Gas Lamp District and is walking distance from Performance Park and all the local bars and shops. The room is very small...it will NOT fit two people in the bed unless said people are very petite. The staff was friendly but the parking situation was a nightmare. Their lot was at capacity so you had to park in a separate lot […] either across the street or down the road. It was such a hassle to drag our luggage two and from the car. Parking is NOT $16...it is either $18 or $20 depending on the week you go. Read more

Good rate, great location, efficient room (fridge + microwave), and even coffee in the room that's pretty good. Good service, excellent front desk staff, clean, well maintained, a nice common area for relaxing or getting work done. Good complementary breakfast. The first review I've written, mostly to remind myself that I've found a favorite place […] in SD. Read more

I booked it because it was the cheapest, decent hotel within walking distance of the Convention Center. It was perfectly adequate for a 5 night stay. The room was small but the free wi-fi was appreciated by this business traveler and the breakfast--included in the price--was adequate (although I wish they had some healthier choices and more fruit). […] The building and facilities are old and could use refurbishing but everything worked, was clean and not at all scary. The staff was friendly and helpful and the neighborhood is lively, walkable and loaded with decent restaurants. Also, there is a Ralph's in walking distance and a frig and microwave in the room.

This was one of the cheapest hotels in the area. It is not an attractive place, but was sufficient to stay the 5 nights that I was there. My window only looked over an interior area - I can't even call it a courtyard - but I liked having the fridge and coffee maker. The breakfast was also sufficient - decent eggs and a Belgian waffle maker. If you want […] something inexpensive in a fun neighborhood, so that you can spend your money on something other than accommodation, this place is fine. Read more

Stayed for two days for a conference at convention center. Location is extremely convenient for downtown visitors.Gaslamp district and it's nightlife is walking distance. Did not need a car for anything downtown. Also had a round trip ride provided to the airport. Did have free wireless Internet in the room although bandwidth was small so could not […] get many files downloaded. Room was extremely small, almost claustrophobic. however if you are looking just to sleep and put a place to store luggage, can't beat the convenient location. Read more

The bed was pretty small but just needed a place for a night great for the night close to everything. And not very expensive and they give your a ok breakfast in the morning it ends at 9 however.

Excellent location easy walking access to all, nice cozy room with a double bed and all that was expected, bed wasn't real comfortable but we were there to play not kick back in the room, AC Fan went out after we got there but luckily we didn't need it, room didn't smell as good as the rest of the hotel but it had aired out by the time we got back from […] the concert. Breakfast buffet was perfect, packed it in for the long day. I'll be back Read more

Excellent, attentive staff but rooms quite small and hotel in tired appearing condition

Were in town for a convention. Great location. Great Staff. One of the best breakfasts I have had as compared to other hotels which offer breakfasts. Would stay here again if traveling for business.

Good location for the convention center, but they didn't provide the room requested. Asked for queen size beds and got a small shoe box room. There was no bathroom sink, it was the the same sink in the bedroom used for tiny kitchen. Heard other people complaining about not getting their rooms also. Other then that it was a OK place.

Neighborhood noisy with homeless people wandering the street at all hours. Room was as small as my bedroom closet with a noisy window air conditioner. There was no sink in the bathroom it was right next to the head of the bed. The parking is around the back of the hotel and you have to walk next to foul garbage.

Location is great...my room was very small (kitchen about 1.5 feet away from my pillow) Loud window air conditioner unit. The main outlet by the bed was faulty, ac and electronics did not stay in the outlet. Random movements on the bed caused the bedside light to turn on and off. It's fine if all you are going to do is sleep...I didn't report any […] of the problems to the front desk. Read more

I would recommend this hotel to friends and would stay here again, if the purpose is to stay within the Gaslamp District. It is extremely local to everything, within walking distance to the popular bars and clubs. The room however, was a bit compact. When I had booked, it was locked in as a double bed - however, that is not what I got. When I arrived […] I was told no, I was being assigned a single bed. Not sure if there was a price difference - I hope not since what I paid for was double and ended up with a single. The only other thing that caught me off guard was having to pay an additional fee of $17 per day for parking. I thought as guests, the parking for the vehicle was included... guess not. Other than that, it was in great location and forfiled its purpose. Read more

This is a good hotel if your only staying 1 night. Lot of places to eat and drink. Centrally located to everything. The room/bed are small but comfortable. Rates are reasonable. Breakfast is included but not that great. The area is safe and fairly quite.

It's located in the perfect location. Walking distance from shops, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.

I found the accommodations acceptable, if you do not plan on spending a great deal of time in the room. The room was clean and comfortable but very small. It only had a double bed and it filled the room. The room included breakfast; there was a nice selection of hot items including scrambled eggs. Sausage, waffles and toast and oatmeal. Also a selection […] of cold cereal and yogurt. The price was good considering the cost of other hotels within close proximety. Read more

This is the second convention I attended in San Diego. Very convenient, friendly, clean AND afordable. Can't get better than that!!!!

This hotel may not be ideal for a couple unless you are planning a quick weekend in the heart of the action. Bathroom facilities were shared with bedroom as not enough room in the washroom area. The hotel itself is a bit dated but very clean. Staff are helpful and friendly and breakfast is good. Right in the heart of the Gaslamp district so very good […] location and you can't complain as you can pay a lot more. Read more

The hotel is located within walking distance of the Convention Center and very reasonably priced for being located in the Gaslamp District. The continental breakfast is awesome - scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles and much more.

Great cheap location in the Gaslamp. Loud neighborhood (Halloween night), thin windows and echoing buildings. Was on business trip and studio room was all I needed. Staff was very nice and friendly. Would stay again with earplugs!

This motel is in a great location, the people were friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, the breakfast was great, and the price was right. The room was very small, but I was alone at a convention so that was not a factor. I spent very little time in the room. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the shower had hot water. I do not need […] anything else. Two people could function in the room as long as they like each other. The surrounding area was not bad. It was noisy a couple nights because it was Halloween. 5th Street was nuts but a great deal of fun. Read more

Room and facility was reasonably good for price. Surrounding neighborhood not too bad, but busy. Room was small, and relatively clean, but window (1) and screens filthy. Complimentary breakfast good, but crowded.

I stayed in the Hilton, Hard Rock Cafe & the Comfort Inn all in one week becasue of various events I was doing. Comfort in was 1/2 the price but twice the value. Great staff, comfortabel rooms and internet is free, Hard rock charged me $17 per day for worse internet. Also Breakfast is included - you carn't go wrong.

The Comfort Inn Gaslamp is located in San Diego's Gaslamp District -- close to lots of great restaurants, bars, etc. and only a short walk to the Convention Center. Although the rooms are small, mine featured an excellent flat screen television, in-room coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator and the mattress was new. The people are nice, they serve […] a free breakfast and the lobby is very comfortable. My only complaint was that the Free WiFi service was inadequate for much of my stay -- cutting into my productivity at the end of the day. Had the WiFi proven adequate, I would have given the hotel four stars instead of three -- not because it is a four-star hotel, but because it exceeded my expectations in every other way. Read more

The front desk service was great, overall was very clean and well kept, but room was extremely small. This was great for a one person stay for business, but would not be a room that would be comfortable for more than one person for an extended period of time. Good value for price though.

Excellent, basic hotel. Complete breakfast makes this hotel a great bargain.

When I realized that I would have a colleague traveling with me I asked if we could upgrade to a room with 2 beds. ( I had booked a room with a double bed) I was told that the only rooms available were ones with that size bed. The staff person offered to have a roll away bed put in the room. When we arrived, the roll away was indeed there. However, […] the room is so small that there was no way the bed could be opened. No way at all did that roll away fit into that room. No way at all could my colleague and I fit into the double bed. Fortunately we realized that the bed could not be opened before it was time to retire and I determined that I could take the mattress off and squeeze it in between the bed and the dresser. It was a good mattress, soft blankets so I did sleep well. But sleeping on the floor was not what I had envisioned. Indeed, I had reserved and paid for a room with a double bed, so I do not feel cheated, but I we been aware that the roll away was really a token service gesture, we might have considered booking another room, We laughed. No harm done, but it was a close call and could have been worse than it was. Hotel is in great location, but if you plan on spending anytime in your room, be prepared to be cramped. Read more

The decor was a little outdated (it loozked like they'd recently purchased the body from another hotel) & there were a few little things wrong that didn't really affect my stay. Good location, good food at the free breakfast, & staff was very friendly & accommodating. Lots of street noise, especially weekends, but that's to be expected in the Gaslamp […] District. (You can request a room on the backside of the hotel, not overlooking the street or pkg lot.) Bar-coffee area with sink in sleeping area was a plus. I'd recommend this hotel & will stay here again the next time I'm in Dan Diego! Read more

The room Worked. Double bed means one bed. you can get a roll away. A little cramped everywhere, But is cheap. If all you need is a shower and a place to sleep, a quick breakfast in the gaslamp district. it is good. Like i said you get what you pay for.

Not bad, price appropriate for what you get given where you are. Staff was def friendly and helpful. within easy walking distance to Petco Park which was a plus. I was there 1 night for business and it worked out great. If you're on a romantic getaway I'd suggest someplace else.

Our room was very small with an old fashioned AC in window and outdated furnishings. For the price I woul dhave preffered somewhere else but the location was unbeatable right downtown.
