I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel in San Diego and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their genuine hospitality and attention to detail. Check-in was quick and effortless, and I immediately felt at ease.
The room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable bedding and a relaxing atmosphere. I especially loved the little touches—plenty of charging ports, great water pressure in the shower, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the city and ocean.
The location is perfect—close to San Diego’s best attractions, including the waterfront, Gaslamp Quarter, and Balboa Park. Whether I wanted to walk around, take a short drive, or simply relax by the pool, everything was easily accessible.
The hotel amenities exceeded expectations. The pool area was a highlight, perfect for enjoying the sunshine, while the fitness center was well-equipped and clean. The on-site restaurant offered delicious meals with fresh, local ingredients, and the breakfast buffet had something for everyone.
What really made my stay special, however, was the service. Every staff member I interacted with went above and beyond—whether it was offering recommendations, arranging transportation, or just greeting me with a smile.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Diego, whether for business, a family vacation, or a relaxing getaway. I’m already looking forward to staying here again!

I was there for 3 nights and there was NO maid service. The coffee pot was really gross - someone had used it to make noodle soup and no one cleaned it. The bed was really tall/high. I'm only 5'1" so getting into bed was a struggle. The staff in the front office was a bit flip when I asked about the housekeeping. I was told it's only every other day - not good. The restaurant was ok but not great. so I went to The Kings Inn for Dinner instead. I will never stay there again and I would not recommend the Atwood.

The room and hotel equipment are very outdated. The quality of the towels was too bad!

We had a very pleasant stay. The hotel was very clean. From the moment I entered the lobby I got a fresh clean floral aroma, I knew that was a good sign. The receptionist were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit older but they are well taken care of and clean. We will definitely be staying here again!

The towel has a light gray mark, it seems to have been used for a long time! There is food sauce on the side of the cabinet on the ground floor! The air conditioner will turn off after a while, no slippers, the hairdryer is broken, really bad!

Convenient location and good service! But the sanitation needs to be improved...the sound insulation is also there, and it is next to the highway, so there is a lot of traffic! It’s just a place where you can spend the night!

There is no safe in the room. Although I don't know how to pay for the safe, you should be cautious in hotels in the United States.

I woke up this morning to the sound of drilling at the construction site.
