It's beautiful for such an old building, the rooms are gorgeous and you can slightly open the windows to get some air which is always nice since rooms can feel stuffy or suffocating. Conveniently right next to the Balboa Park which is a great incentive to stay here and the staff are very welcoming and polite. The main downside about the hotel is their \"welcome package\" which is basically their timeshare sales representative wasting your time especially if it was a long drive to get there and you just want to set your things down and decompress on your room. As for other cons.. having a single elevator is very frustrating.

Great 100 year old hotel. The king suite was spacious and very nice. Only one elevator. We used the stairs most of the time. Top floor has great views. Valet parking only. They will try to sell you a timeshare while you stay there. We will not stay at this hotel again due to the valet and timeshare bs.

Travelled to this hotel with a young child, the hotel was accommodating with sleeping arrangements for an infant. The hotel offers a valet service which you basically have to use as parking is virtually non existent on the property, and they charge 30$ per night you park with valet overnight. The valet staff are mostly unprofessional and when we checked out our car reeked of weed to the point we needed to air the car out, super unprofessional and unacceptable particularly as it was a rental car and we were traveling with our baby. Raised the issue to management and was never contacted about it. Would avoid this property in the future and would advise against staying here unless there are other options available.

The staff is very nice. The location is excellent. The rooms are clean, the kitchen, in our suite was well supplied. There was a dank odor in our room that didn’t go away until our HVAC system was active for almost a full day. The hallway had a similar odor They don’t do any housekeeping, but will replace towels if requested. There is nothing on the TV in the room. I don’t know why it’s there. The lone elevator is very out of date. The license expired in 2023. You get to a floor and you don’t know if the door is going to open or not. It always did, but it was such a long delay that we never stopped worrying, whether it was going to open or not. This was a constant problem on all floors. when prompted, the staff was very dismissive of this problem. The concierge was very focused on getting us to go to a meeting about joining their vacation club. He went on and on about the benefits. It was very hard to be courteous about our lack of interest. There is very good street parking adjacent to the hotel, you just need to sign up for an app to use each time you park. They have valet parking for $30 a day which we did not use. They write that off if you attend their reception for the vacation club. There is a small exercise room and a lounge and deck on the roof, which looked very nice, but we never utilized it.

The hotel is quite old and my room was smelly. I left windows open and used my diffuser which helped. But the room is very big and I loved that. I loved the ability to cook if I wanted. The staff were great and very helpful. The gym is terrible-no weights. Just a treadmill, elliptical. That’s why I’m hiving it 4 stars. You are across the street from balboa park which is lovely. About a 10 min uber to the Gaslamp district and a 20 min uber to the beach. Walking distance to a few restaurants. Although my experience was good there I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

A lot of homeless around the area. Only parking they offer is valet for $30 a day. If you don’t choose that then you need to go find a parking on the street.

Biggest issue was our reservation for two nights through Expedia turned into one and I spent 2 hours on the phone when we checked in trying to get the second night re-booked but hotel said there was no room. Expedia blamed the hotel on the mistake and hotel said Expedia. Nightmare way to start our family vacation.

Overall, the property was pretty nice! The staff were very friendly and accomodating. The hotel itself was a nice mix of historic building on the outside and modern amenities on the inside. We were randomly upgraded to a two room suite, which was neat.

However, the windows were not part of the update, so noise levels were fairly high even in the fifth floor. One weird touch was ghe old window in the shower, because you could see how much of a mold/mikdew/rot problem that will become with water constantly splashing onto the wooden frame.

Also, immediately after check-in we were talked into a 90-minute time-share pitch after we were offered a \"comped gift\" for our wedding anniversary. They then said they had to put our card in for this gift, but after our presentation we would not have the $40 charged. We were essentially locked in for the presentation before we knew what hit us, and we would lose the money if we skipped. So, now we had to attend what turned out to be a 2-hour sales pitch before we could head to the Zoo and enjoy our anniversary. So, go in knowing that they might try to talk you into a Worldmark sales pitch; be ready to say no upon your arrival (or go along with it for the free perks if you can get through the sales pitch; just plan accordingly).

The surrounding area has really cool features close by, but its also crowded if you opt for street parking instead of valet, and a few unhoused people in the area with mental health and substance issues.

This is our second stay in this hotel. It's now owned by Wyndham and seems to be a timeshare hotel (be ready for the pitch by the concierge to attend a meeting). Not to worry, the rooms still have the style and spaciousness that they always had. There's some city noise but not as much as downtown. We like the area near Balboa Park and felt safe even at night.

What a weird place. Got there with my pregnant wife and our 18-month-old to see the zoo. The only place to unload was a “three minute only” spot out front. The whole hotel is serviced by a single elevator shared by guests and staff, so it took a long time to unload and a few trips up the elevator. Nobody offered to help. Checked it, got my keycards, showed my id and credit cards. Then the concierge wanted me to check in again to get a wristband that would unlock the room. I told him I didn’t need it since I already had a keycard, but he insisted it was mandatory, the wristband seemed to have no purpose. I told him I would get it later, since at that point I’d already been checking in for 30 minutes and my wife had a sleeping baby in the car. We finally got to our room, and while I held my sleeping baby the hotel staff called our room four times because they hadn’t registered our credit card properly. Then they called because they still demanded I get the useless wristband. Advice for hotel: tourists don’t want to be walking around with something that tells all potential criminals that they’re out-of-towners. Anyway, we finally got the stupid wristbands that served no purpose. Then after dinner, out 18-month old was running around to burn off some energy before bed. We got a calm from the front desk saying that someone in the cleaning staff had heard the noise in the hallway and we needed to be quiet. This is 7pm. We never turned in the TV or had a radio on, but in case you’re

Good place for a family holiday.

My daughter and I stayed in a suite here and were very happy.

The rooms are very large. The suite has two large bedrooms, a bathroom (adjoining both bedrooms) a kitchen, a dining room, and a large lounge room. The kitchen was well-equipped. There was no washing machine, but I believe there was a guest laundry.

The rooms are fairly quiet at night time. The airport is so close to San Diego that you can always hear the planes from pretty much anywhere in the city, and this is no exception. As long as you're not planning on sleeping in, you'll probably be fine with it.

The neighbourhood is fine. Extremely close to Balboa Park; the zoo and museums are all an easy walk away. There aren't many great restaurants in the area, but the Italian district or Gaslamp district are a 5 minute Uber ride away. There's a 24 hour 7-11 right across the road. The area was fairly safe but there were a few drunks around at night.

Some reviews have mentioned the fact that this place tries to get you to attend one of their timeshare presentations. Yes, it's true. But, they take 'no' for an answer which is what you want. It's a minor inconvenience.

If I were staying in San Diego again as a solo traveller I might choose somewhere a bit more upmarket but for a family stay this place was perfect.

Valet parking was helpful as there was little parking. Concierge invited us to a Wyndham time-share meeting. We spent one of our two nights booked here due to a horrible airport delay on our way into San Diego. I wish we'd been able to spend both scheduled nights here. The beds were some of the most comfortable of our 2 week trip and the mini apartment feel of the room was SO welcoming. The building is historic and so a bit dated, but it was beautiful. The shower, which can make or break a stay review, was great with good pressure (no spending 30 minutes trying to rinse off the shampoo!.)

Really nice place. Clean, comfortable, convenient to Balboa Park, Zoo, etc. Staff are all very friendly. Would definitely stay again/recommend.

The beds and pillows are very soft- I love it, spouse not so much.

I did not know ahead of time is that this is a time share. We are not members and were very caught off guard. When you use hotels.com you don’t except to have the time share pitch. We avoided it, but it would have been better if I knew after 13 hours of traveling that that’s what I would be greeted with.

The room we had was advertised as two queens. These are not queen sized beds. They are full/double. My 2 teenagers (6’3”, 170 lbs each) struggled to share a bed. They struggle in a queen at the best of times, full was rough.

Our only complaint was the early morning noise on our ceiling starting at 5:45-6:30 am daily from above. Not sure if it was the gym or from construction up there or just people in the time share offices?? It was pretty hard to get a restful sleep with that early morning noise and the place was really great it was a shame! Probably won’t return for that reason.

Terrible Sales Tactics

The Hotel was very nice and clean. We had stayed here a couple of time before the new ownership. The only issue we had with the hotel was the constant pestering from the staff to go to a meeting to purchase property with the Shell Vacation Club. Everytime we went out and came back they would hound us with all these offers. They called our room at 9 AM to try and talk us into going to \"free breakfast\" to hound us more. Next day same thing. It was an obnoxious experience and I will never stay there again. I would not recommend it if you don't like to be harrassed.

The staff especially Diego and Eduardo at the front desks were especially helpful. The inn is in a great location for exploring balboa park.

Superb hotel

This is one of the nicest hotel rooms I've stayed in. Every detail is beautiful, stylish, cool and thoughtful. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen (although I didn't use it) had everything you could possibly need to cook nice meals. The location was safe, nice, and convenient. Will definitely be back. Also was a great value.

I liked that the hotel was older and being maintained well. The only thing I did not like is you have to valet park your car and no one discussed with me the fees until asked. I also did not like the main elevator. It definitely needs more servicing.

Good location - super old hotel

We did not enjoy our stay at this hotel. The old, squeaky floors can be charming but we found them to just be old and annoying. Lots of room-to-room and floor-to-floor noise. The room also had a certain old, musty, almost moldy smell. Not enjoyable!

Check-in also took forever and was followed by a timeshare pitch. The building has been converted to a timeshare property (part of a national chain) so they really want you to have free breakfast to hear the pitch. Not a great experience when you just want to go to the room.

Easy walk to the park and drive to the zoo so that was a plus.

I appreciated the location at the price point. It is a older property, so don't expect it to look like it was built in the 2000s, but everything worked well and was clean. The beds were comfy and room was dark. The kitchen worked well and the walk in closet provided plenty of space and even space to change of the bathroom is in use.

The main downsides were lack of included parking (you could find street parking or valet for $25/night or so). There's no included breakfast but there is a restaurant so close you barely have to leave the hotel.

It's easy walking distance to part of Balboa Park but to get to some of the main attractions like the zoo or museums, it's a longer walk (20-40 minutes - Balboa Park is huge and the roads inside are winding).

One other note is that most of the units are time shares so the concierge is helpful about what to do around the area but they're obliged to try to sell you on a marketing breakfast where they'll pitch the timeshare. Our concierge was nice though and not too pushy, if you're not interested you could probably just skip and go to your room.

The Inn at the Park is a delightful, mid-century decorated, resort property adjacent to Balboa Park. My wife and I have stayed here several times and always look forward to the next visit!

Property is well maintain, quiet and rooms are well set up, lots of venues to visit and eat or shop, the only issue I had was there was No Parking available, had to valet all my stay days- so inconvenient.
