Our family had an amazing stay at Embassy Suites San Diego Downtown! The location is unbeatable — within walking distance to the Sea Port, Downtown, and so many attractions. We loved taking the ferry to Coronado and hopping on the trolley to explore Old Town. The convenience of everything nearby made our trip so much more enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was a highlight — a wide variety of options, and perfect for families to start the day right. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the suites were spacious and comfortable for our family. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting San Diego, especially with kids!

Turn your HVAC off at night…

Everything was great except the loud HVAC. I guess it was on a motion sensor and kicked off every few minutes all night, but would come back on if I moved in the room. I get the eco option, but this prevented a decent night of sleep for my 4 night stay despite them sending an engineer to fix it.

Everyone at the front desk was so helpful. We got stranded there due to flight cancelation and they worked with us each day to keep our same room as we kept getting canceled.
