"I’ve stayed here multiple times in 2025 and in February 2026, and the manager, Alex and his staff have consistently gone above and beyond. Most recently, they personally helped extend my leisure stay at a much better rate than what I saw online. That kind of care and consistency is rare—and exactly why I return! Already planning my next stay!"

"We celebrated our 43rd anniversary here. Very beautiful place in a great location to walk the Bay. The 3rd floor balcony has a beautiful view! Very relaxing! They also have breakfast, dinner, and a bar that you can order from there."

"I stayed one night at the Monsaraz and absolutely loved it! The rooms are beautifully designed with great attention to detail — modern, stylish, and super comfortable. The gym was really nice and had everything I needed for a quick workout. The staff was incredibly friendly and made the whole stay feel fun and welcoming. Street parking nearby was easy to find, so we skipped the valet fee with no stress. The next morning we took a walk along the..."

"We held our company offsite here and we also tacked on some personal stay. The accommodations were perfect, the hotel was very nice, and the staff was incredibly hospitable. The hotel is in a fantastic location with plenty to access in the immediate vicinity. The Monsaraz met all our needs from a business and personal trip. I would highly recommend staying here."

"We have stayed here twice now and both experiences were absolutely wonderful. The rooms are clean and the stuff has been very sweet. I only wish the restaurant had more offerings. Because we did not like the menu we chose not to eat there so I can't say one way or the other if the food is good."

"We had a great stay at The Monsaraz San Diego! The gentleman at the front desk was super nice and welcoming, and he looked sharp in his gray plaid suit. Big shoutout to Manny from valet—his customer service was excellent. He was really friendly and went above and beyond to help us with our parking situation, which we truly appreciated. The room was comfortable, though the water pressure could be a bit stronger. It would also be nice if the..."

"We loved staying here. We got a patio room that had a door directly outside to their beautiful patio. Had some trouble with the air conditioning but they offered a fan for us and we just left the door cracked open at night. Beautiful breakfast and bar area. The bartender was super kind and fun to talk to! The front desk staff were awesome and very accommodating and professional. Delicious breakfast and cocktails. Great central location close to the airport...."

"The room and location were great. The AC did not work during our stay which I did not mind much since I was visiting in the winter. I mentioned it not working during the check out expecting some sort of apology but all I got was "oh it doesn't?" which was a bit off putting. The valet parking price is non sensical given that literally free street parking is available right in front of the hotel. Even the paid parking..."
