My family and I just returned from a stay at the Park Manor Suites, and I could not recommend it more! We stayed in a huge 2 bedroom suite on the 3rd floor, and it was fantastic! The rooms were huge, and beautifully decorated. The entire hotel is charming and classic. We found the rooms to be very clean and... more

Park Manor is an older property located adjacent to Balboa Park. The staff is welcoming, gracious, and accommodating. The local patrons in the bar/restaurant were also friendly. The complimentary breakfast served at the rooftop fulfilling. We enjoyed the young families who were also guests at the hotel. My husband and I were very pleased to have found Park Manor.

All rooms are suites, i.e., you can relax in a comfortable room, enjoy those leftovers or more to the point, purchase some foods at that nearby (relatively) Whole Foods on university. Excellent dining and cocktails in the restaurant/lounge. If you are fortunate to have Frank as your wait person, listen to his recommendations. He is a professional wait person with... more

I searched for a hotel that was away from downtown but within easy access to everything. I booked a two bedroom suite with balcony overlooking Balboa park for two people attending a conference at the Convention Centre in mid-May. We were absolutely thrilled with this hotel on Spruce Street and 5th. The suite was a character suite (meaning that when... more

I really enjoyed my stay here. I don't think there needs to be much updating in the room. I really enjoyed the rustic/vintage feel of the hotel. Balboa park is directly across the street. Parking is FREE unlike most California hotels and so is the continental breakfast (cereal, fresh fruit, bagels, yogurt, etc). Stay here! I got a great deal... more

I'm really glad I decided to stay at the park monor suites with my kids last week (it was one of the two hotels i stayed at). We stayed in a handicap accessable room ( i dunno why) but it was great. We had a great view of the park, and the room was very clean. I was disappointed with... more

Scored this hotel above average as it has character and the staff (except breakfast staff) are great. Hotel is old and needs to be renovated. Stayed is suite on the 6th floor which had a strange smell and we were awoken early each morning with noise from the restaurant floor boards above us. Bathroom needs updating! Suite had kitchen (straight... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great staff, very large, comfortable room, across from Balboa Park (best to see on Sunday), close to the zoo, and an easy drive to Coronado Island and the Gaslamp district. An excellent value overall. more

If you're tired of staying in boring, characterless chain hotels located just off the freeway ramp next to boring, characterless chain restaurants, next time you're in San Diego, try the Park Manor. It's a charming place built in 1926 with free parking, free breakfast, and free Wi-Fi in a real neighborhood in the heart of San Diego. Every room has... more
