“Hotel Gigi, a 3-star accommodation in downtown San Diego, strikes me as a practical base for urban exploration, putting guests within walking distance of sports venues and major attractions like the San Diego Zoo; select rooms even offer city views, which is a plus. While reviews mention soundproofing issues, the central location and access to streaming services in each room offer some compensation.”
