FAQ about self-catering accommodations in San Diego









The Art of Easy Living

Sweeping along the coast against a mountain backdrop, San Diego has easy living down to a fine art. Its wonderful beaches and mild climate make it a favorite spring break destination, and with over 40 city breweries, there are plenty of ice cold beers to set the mood.

The city’s most recognizable landmark is the Hotel del Coronado, a wooden Victorian beach resort, now a National Historic Landmark. As original Spanish mission and first in California, it's has been relocated to the Mission Valley area, and Old Town San Diego still has many Colonial buildings and quirky shops. Also great for shopping are Horton Plaza and the boutiques in the beachfront neighborhoods.

The city’s most famous attraction is its zoo in Balboa Park, a few blocks from San Diego International Airport. One of the world’s largest zoos, it is well worth a visit, as is the fantastic SeaWorld, home to several killer whales. To see wildlife in its natural habitat head to La Jolla beach where harbor seals rest, or watch whales in season from Point Loma Lighthouse.

Just over the border from Mexico’s Tijuana, San Diego has a distinctly Latin American vibe and a variety of accommodations encompassing apartments, motels, B&Bs and hotels. See Booking.com for the best deals.

    The city appears clean, uncluttered, with lots of green space, beautiful flowering shrubs, flowers, palm trees, and beaches. We've visited before; this time we were in town for graduation at Point Loma Nazarene University, and enjoyed our stay. Balboa Park is amazing, and we attended an organ concert there last time.

    Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego.

    Love the Little Italy section of Dan Diego. The Saturday market is wonderful in the plaza. The historic boats on the bay and the waterfront walk is beautiful. It's a pleasant walk to Seaport Village. Our grand daughter loves the carousel. The whale watching tours and dinner cruises are out of the area by the Midway historic ship.

    San Diego is so geographically diverse is so many things to do and go. The freeways are easy to use . The Mexican food and seafood is amazing. The beaches are beautiful, especially in Pacific Beach it’s so scenic . The restaurants are amazing shelter Island is a beautiful place to eat and to take a walk. The food is so delicious so many different cultures to choose from . Use Yelp to guide you to where go. San Diego can be very expensive plan your trip ahead of time. I would avoid Tour season April and September is the best time to come to San Diego to avoid the crowd .

    The property is beautiful, peaceful, clean and quiet. The staff is very friendly. We arrive at the hotel at noon. Checking time was at 4pm, our room was ready and we got to checking early. That was a big plus!!!!. Best location because it was 5 minute walk to the beach, various food places, shops. Also La Jolla Cove and downtown was 10min drive and San Diego was 20mini drive. I would highly recommend this place and I would come and stay here again. Thank You to the staff or Riviera Inn for all you do. :)

    Very convenient location for exploring the area. Easy to find. Fun decorations. Convenient having a washer and dryer available. The place was great for a short visit. Please ignore the previous bad review of this apartment from somebody who didn't even enter the building. Yes, there are homeless people in San Diego. No, it is not the fault of the apartment or owner. There are many top tier hotels in the same neighborhood. I enjoyed my stay, and felt perfectly safe.

    My son and his wife stayed here a few months ago and highly recommended this motel. Motel is very basic but extremely clean which is a must for me when traveling. We traveled to San Diego area and Del Cornado so the location was just fine. A/C a little loud but at least it worked well. Hard to believe only 6 parking spots for hotel but we were able to find free public parking on the street. Great place to drop your bags and hit the town. Oh, can't beat the price.

    The hotel is in a safe area in San Diego downtown. The streets were all walkable and it is very close to the San Diego Convention Centre (15 min walk). It is a 5 min walk from the gaslamp area and close to many restaurants and shops. It is just a 10 min ride from the airport. The staff was friendly. The bed was very comfortable. The housekeeping staff was great! The lobby area was beautiful. This room is good for a 1-2 day work-related stay.

    The location is very good, 20/25 min by foot from the GasLamp quarter and Little Italy (the vivid areas of the city). There is also restaurants around (a good ramen restaurant, empanadas, mexican food...) if you dont wanna walk too much. The bed is comfortable, the shower is hot and the room is spacious enough. Plus comparing the price to the other motels/hotels around, this one is relatively cheap and you have what you would expect.

Also of significance were the presence of a plethora of every type of watercraft, including massive Navy ships transiting the Bay.

    Location is great if you want to visit a lot of places in San Diego since the nearby Old Town Transit Center will get you anywhere in a short amount of time. There's even a free airport shuttle bus that stops right next to the hotel. There's a small pool that is available from 7 AM to 10 PM so you can can even go for a swim in the evening. Rooms are decent, no real complaints there...

    The property was centrally located in the heart of downtown San Diego. There are sooo many things within walking distance and it’s less than 1 mile to the airport. The facility is always spotless. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast is of good quality. I also loved the valet service offered at the hotel, it took a lot of the anxiety out of trying to figure out where to park.

    The hotel is well located in the north of San Diego. The center can be reached with the trolley green lane (although the stop is not so close). The room was large and overall clean, although some maintenance is needed. The swimming pool outside is also nice (but small and during my stay I did not exploit it too much (see below)).
