I negotiated a special rate (similar to seniors, more discounted than AAA) because we were staying 6 nights. Upon checking in they first tried to put us in a dim, windowless corner room (because I requested quiet location-- or the negotiated discount?). This corner room had a queen bed rather than the king reserved, and we knew for a 6... more

The Cabrillo was convenient to the Mingei Museum in Balboa Park, the objective of our one night visit. Well, it's just an "ol' timey" motel, but it is a small oasis amongst the high rises of this downtown San Diego neighborhood. Our room #107 was tucked away at the back of the property and was as quiet as could be.... more

We recently booked two nights' stay at the Best Western Cabrillo Inn for a friend's wedding. We got in late Saturday night and, being from the east coast, we were exhausted. First impressions were that the place was adorable...really great landscaping outside and on the terraces. We went to bed and...at 4:30am San Diego time...the Fijian rugby team came home... more

My wife and I traveled to San Diego with two friends to hear a concert at nearby (2 blocks) Copley Hall. We had stayed here on an earlier visit and were delighted to see that nothing had changed. There is a beautiful garden patio on the roof of this charming little property where we spent a pleasant hour or two... more

I have stayed at many hotels from hilton to Motel 6. This is one of the best hotels I have stayed . The location is good, close to everything. The rooms are perfect. Not huge but at $140 you cant expect a palace. But what makes this place special is obviously the staff. I only met the night duty staff... more

Great little find in a big city. Inn is located in the NW of the city, within easy walk of most attractions. Cortez Hill Market is located across the street and onsite parking is provided (@$10 a night) The Inn is a green oasis, with potted plants aplenty. Accommodation is clean and comfortable, in-room safe a bonus. Carlos at the... more

My wife and I went to a medical conference in San Diego. Several large hotels were associated with the conference and charging discounted rates of $250 - $300 per night. I searched TripAdvisor for alternatives and saw great reviews for the BW Cabrillo Garden Inn. We stayed 5 nights there and were very pleased. It is a small hotel surrounded... more

I stayed here for the 2008 ESRI Conference, not exactly sure what to expect as one of the few hotels still in downtown that costs less than $200/night during the conference. It's only a few minutes walk to the trolley line (or a 20-25 minute walk to the convention center). The room was very nice, quiet, with a good bed... more

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in mid-July. We were on a road trip up the coast and started in San Diego. We really liked this small hotel. The staff was nice and we loved all of the plants and garden like features. It really made it seem like a garden in the middle of the city.... more
