close to the gaslamp district you'll find this very charming hotel. not too many rooms and very helpful team, they answer you all the questions and really care about their guests. The rooms are a little bit old-fashioned and dark but clean. Breakfast is very simple, serve in plastic cups/plates. The breakfast room is very small and not very inviting... More

This place was so cute - not your usual hotel. The parking was separated from the rooms with a grove of bamboo and lots of potted plants, with teak table and chairs outside the room. The rooms had hard wood floors although a bit small. Breakfast was good and everyone working there was very nice. We were very pleased with... More

After travelling for four weeks through the United States, we didn't want a to end a great stay in this country in a cheap city hotel. So, we decided to book a Best Western Plus, thinking that the plus meant that this is a upgrade on the usual Best Western standard. During the four weeks in the USA we had... More

This place is a find! Clean rooms, reasonable parking, free breakfast. It's not a frills place, nut clean and comfortable. I would stay here again no question. Friendliest staff I've encountered in the last five years!

We were able to check in early, upon our request, which was wonderful! The room was a bit small, but very clean. There is no fan in the bathroom, which was very odd. The bathroom was so small, I could barely get in and close the door. We enjoyed the roof top balcony area. It was very nice. Parking lot... More

Had a four night stay at the Cabrillo in early May 2010. The room was extremely clean, so much so that we had to keep the windows open to let the cleaning fragrance escape! I guess you should never complain about a place being too clean. The room included a complimentary hot breakfast but did not include parking. The hotel... More

This is my first Trip Advisor review. I came here for a convention. I usually try to stay a mile or so away from the venue so I can experience the town, with a different street walked on each trip to and fro. Cabrillo Inn suits the bill for similarly disposed conventioneers. As to the property, I fell in love... More
