Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Staypineapple, Hotel Z, Gaslamp San Diego offers pet-friendly accommodations in San Diego.

The location is a very short walk from the convention centre, which was very convenient for my work. In addition, being in the Gaslamp area meant that there were plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby as well, and a good atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, with tea/coffee making facilities, and I appreciated the water bar in the lobby, as well as the availability of drinks and snacks. The pineapple cookies were excellent!

Placed along the waterfront in Liberty Station, an urban community located just minutes from San Diego city center, this comfortable hotel offers spacious accommodations and convenient services.

Beautiful location, and the entire hotel was immaculately clean. Just lovely. Also, the morning breakfast was delicious. Staff was very nice. Definitely a five star stay and I wish I had stayed much longer.

San Diego Zoo

This world-famous zoo is as good as it gets. Stand to attention with meerkats, monkey around with macaques and hop on the cable car to glide above it all like the mighty condor. One tip: pay up the extra dollars for a Backstage Pass – you’ll get up close and personal with cheetahs and rhinos!

    This zoo is amazing and we were able to see it all in a single day (9am-6pm). Get a paper map when you enter as it was much more helpful than the app. I would start the day on the bus and sit on the right side of the upper deck for the best views. You are allowed to bring in your own food and drinks but the kids meals at the restaurants were large and a great deal if you are are purchasing on-site.

    We opted for the Safari Park this trip -- more spread out and fewer folks... delightfully close to the animals. Hours of fun and so many steps. The ticket now includes the train/tram around the Africa exhibits. A great day

    Nice little Travelodge! The room was clean and a good size for our needs. The immediate surrounding area was quiet. Some shopping and eateries were within walking distance which my granddaughters liked. Ocean Beach was a short drive and enjoyable. San Diego Zoo was close and we a had a great time there.

    The cottage was clean, comfortable, and a great value for the price. It was only 5 minutes to Pacific Beach and 15 minutes to the San Diego Zoo. There were plenty of dining options, and we felt safe walking or biking.

    We loved the location. We could walk to Old Town square and shops and dining. Our cute room faced the pool and was nice and clean. It was just a short drive to the San Diego zoo and the beach. The breakfast room was spacious and they had it open until 10 - great for a vacation sleep in and still time to get some food. They have DVD's in the lobby for check out; which gave us a laugh but then we checked out 2 movies and loved the nostalgia feel of it. All of the staff were very friendly !
