Comfort Inn Gaslamp Convention Center

“Good stay for the first-timers”

The hotel is conveniently located in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. It is very close to everything: nightlife, the San Diego Zoo, and Balboa Park.

I stayed at the hotel during a conference in October 2024. The hotel was around a 15 minute walk from the convention centre. There were homeless people around but they weren't troublesome and I felt safe walking to and from the Convention Centre, and even heading out in an evening on my own to get dinner in the Gaslamp Quarter. The area is busy, there are lots of restaurants and bars so I didn't feel isolated. The hotel always had someone helpful and polite on reception. There was coffee, water and fruit always available in reception too. The staff were happy to store your luggage before check in and after check out. They can call you a cab to the airport. However, there is a bus stop around 3 blocks away which can take you to the airport at a fraction of the cost. There is a nice reception room with chairs and a little courtyard to sit out if you wanted. There are no wc's in the reception area though. The room I had did not have a great view, but I wasn't bothered. The bed was comfortable, there was always hot water for showers, the room was small but not poky, it was clean, there were toiletries provided. There were some noise issues. The hotel is not far from the Gaslamp Quarter. You could hear cars and people outside. The other noise was from the water system when people in the next room were showering. This in particular could be quite loud, and a bit distracting, if you are on conference calls, or needing quiet time. There was a breakfast every morning, with eggs, sausages, pancakes, toast, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, muffins, bagels, juice and coffee. I knew there would be breakfast, but thought it would be minimal. I was pleasantly surprised that there were some hot options available. Overall, I was quite happy to stay here, and I would choose to stay here again for a good value and convenient choice for the gaslamp district and convention centre.

“Conveniently located within walking distance of Petco Park”

We stayed here for two nights in April 2024 with our 6 year old daughter on a trip to California.

We stayed here for two nights in April 2024 with our 6 year old daughter on a trip to California. This hotel is conveniently situated in San Diego, and was within walking distance to Petco Park (we went to a Padres game while we were here). The room was clean, but it was an odd layout (the kitchenette and bathroom sink were in the main bedroom area, which is strange to be combined). The bed was super comfy, but with the in-window air conditioner, the curtains blow upwards above the A/C, making the sunlight arrive quite early in the morning! There is a breakfast included, and it was decent enough for something to eat before heading out for the day (eggs, waffles, sausages, fruit, yogurt, cereal, etc.). Parking here is a bit pricey, so we parked off-site on the next block. Overall, it was a decent hotel to stay in, but not one I would want to be in for a long period of time.
