I spent 4 nights here in October 2009. The hotel has a parking lot that you can use for free which was nice except that it fills up quickly. The room was really large with high ceilings and big windows that open. no AC but the fan did the trick in October weather. The bed is really nice but the... more

Location- beautiful. Overlooks Balboa park Service by hotel staff- efficient, accommodating and friendly Rooms-just gorgeous. Filled with interesting period furniture. Spacious. Everything you need. more

After reading all the reviews not sure what we were to expect. The hotel is an old 1920 apartment building and still looks that way. The rooms are very spacious with full kitchen, living room, balcony and bedroom. If your looking for modern luxury hotel, then find another spot. But if you like quirky places, and a sense of European... more

The exterior of this hotel is inviting. It's just disappointing to get to your room. It's an old, tired place in need of updates, a cleaning, and repair. WiFi ? FORGET IT. They say they have it. Dial up is a better option. Do not stay there and expect to have workable internet access that allows actual work to be... more

I wanted to stay close to Hillcrest, so I chose the historic Park Manor Suites. They upgraded me to the 2-bedroom suite (#614) that had the BEST hotel view of Balboa Park and the ocean. This enormous and clean suite--especially for a solo traveler--has high ceilings, a balcony, and Asian decor. The windows always remained open to allow the fresh... more

My husband and I stayed here overnight for a quick San Diego trip. We had a large room, that was a combination of old charm and newer linens and amenities. The bed was huge and very modern but the extras in the room were very delicate, sophisticated and charming. The bathroom was quite tiny but it went with the decor... more

My first room here smelled musty, had outdated furniture and needed serious bathroom and kitchen reno. I could've tolerated everything but the smell. Although I was moved to a more updated room, (the staff was very accommodating and helpful), I realized the smell couldn't be avoided. It is an old hotel. The furniture and carpet weren't as old as my... more

This is my first visit to San Diego and I decided to stay at the Park Manor Suites hotel since it seemed to be close to San Diego Zoo. The hotel is conveniently located in front of Balboa Park, walking distance to San Diego Zoo, The Old Globe, The San Diego Art Museum and more. I arrived very early with... more

From previous reviews, we had a pretty good idea of what we were getting into. It's an old hotel, the fixtures are dated, and our room did have a vaguely mildewy smell. There's no A/C. All of that was more than made up for by the feel of the place. We had a suite with a balcony (highly recommended), and... more
