"About a 45-minute walk from downtown, and there was nothing in the area. My king marina view room was amazing. However, I asked for a room change the 2nd night because of a crying baby in the room next door and ended up in a room above the front door of the hotel facing the street. Wonderful hotel clerks and manager.2022-03-11"
"The hotel was clean and quiet, and the staff was friendly.2021-12-06"

"The hallway smelled like smoke, and I heard slamming doors throughout the night. There was a gap at the bottom of my room door, so I didn't get much sleep. There was a Starbucks and a lounge next door. Don't bring a pet to this motel, and don't expect to sleep.2016-04-01"

"Across the street from the beach, and close to excellent restaurants and shops. This is a historic landmark motel built in hacienda style. It's older, which showed in some of the fixtures, but it's clean and well-maintained. The center courtyard has a pool, shops, and restaurants. Outstanding, accommodating staff. Everyone was friendly, efficient, and professional. No on-site parking, but street parking wasn't a problem for us even on a busy holiday weekend.2016-06-09"

"The hotel room was clean, spacious, and had a fridge and coffee maker. 2019-04-08"

"The restaurant wasn't open during posted hours, but I recommend this hotel.2022-01-17"
"Great location for getting to the cruise port. Close to Midway Museum, too. 2017-12-26"
"Don't expect any bells or whistles at this hotel. Convenient to MCRD, but there was a spiked fence around the lattice fence surrounding the upstairs balcony. The room reminded me of military barracks. The staff was friendly. Be careful leaving the parking garage; the incline scraped the bottom of my car. OK if you're budget-minded, but don't stay here if you want semi-luxury.2017-09-20"
"Close to Old San Diego. Hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers. We left an item behind, and the staff promptly mailed it to us. We stayed 3 days and would stay again.2015-03-23"
Point Loma isn’t just one of the prettiest neighborhoods in San Diego—it’s also the home of Naval Base Point Loma, one of the state’s most notable US naval bases. One of the most beautiful California bases, it’s a backbone to the community and well worth a visit. When planning your trip, let HotelGuides.com find the perfect Point Loma hotel for you.
What to Do in Point Loma
Depending on when you visit, you can catch big annual events such as the Day at the Docks Festival, which celebrates fishing with demonstrations, cooking classes, kid-friendly activities and live music. The neighborhood offers great music venues such as Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay, where you can catch big names like Steely Dan and Willie Nelson. Plus, there’s a free outdoor concert series every summer at Point Loma Park. Don’t forget the shopping—this community offers locally made art, jewelry and clothing, plus brand names and vintage. And, of course, be sure to visit Navy Base Point Loma, which can be arranged in advance by contacting the Navy Installations Command.
Say Hello to the Sea
Be sure to visit the area’s many great seaside sights, including:
The Point Loma Formation, stunning cliffs that contain dinosaur fossils
The beautiful Sunset Cliffs
Old Point Loma Lighthouse overlooking the gorgeous San Diego Bay—you might even see a few whales in the water!
Because Point Loma is a seaside community, seafood restaurants are plentiful.

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
