This is a beautiful old building. The staff is friendly & helpful. The beds are heavenly. I like the convenient kitchenette. The rooftop breakfast is lovely. Restaurant & bar: good food & fun company! I really appreciate the environmentally friendly touch. Great location, right next to the park, easy to get to public transit.
This is a 1926 residential hotel. Everything works perfectly, but it's still 1926. Really enjoyed what it was once the initial shock wore off. Clean, large rooms. Having a suite was wonderful. Couldn't be better located. Would recommend to anybody, anytime. Try it.
Charming, historic hotel. I selected the hotel and room for the size and location, both a good price compared to the competition. Got a 1100 sq ft two bedroom suite with a kitchen. Furnishings were wonderful, bed and bedding comfortable, however, drapes were stained and old, walls and molding old and dirty, bathroom small and in need of modern ...
We have stayed at the Park Manor Suite five times now and will return again in August of 2007. Being so close to downtown, Hillcrest and many other attractions makes it a great location. Its gay friendly style makes my visits to San Diego even more enjoyable.
The Park Manor is a delightful hotel with fantastic proximity to Balboa Park and the Zoo. On my short visit, I was treated well and felt safe, as I was travelling alone.
The rooms are clean, though some of the furniture is old. The staff was uniformly friendly and helpful.
A particularly wonderful surprise is the Piano Bar in the basement. As well as the menu in the restaurant.
I look forward to returning with family on the next visit.

Wonderful Hotel and City
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/10/07
The Park Manor Suites is a lovely old hotel with lots of 20's and 30's character and charm. For those who stayed and then complained there was no air conditioning, you must not travel much to Southern California, because there are lots of hotels that are very good that do not have air conditioning, especially in San Diego. I can't ...

Perfect Wedding Venue with Old World Elegance
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/22/06
We visited/interviewed nearly every venue in San Diego when selecting the perfect location for my daughter's wedding. Frustration level was maximum until she saw Park Manor, and she knew immediately that she had found her perfect location. We didn't want a cookie cutter hotel or wedding reception, and Park Manor has the wonderful ...
The hotel is located half a block from Balboa Park and about 8 minutes from the zoo and 12 minutes from downtown. It is quiet and actually quite intesting because of the old style. It is easy to access the city from here and it is a nice place to stay for the price. No families or too touristy. We actually wondered if other people stayed there, but at breakfast we found them.
First of all, the pictures on the internet were deceiving!! The rooms looks more moderate and kept up on the internet!! Our room did not have air conditioning and it got hot during the day; the little cheap fan they had barely did the job.
Also, the view of our window was not very appealing (do to the constructing, oh and the nose woke us up ...

Charming, but badly flawed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/07/06
My negative review is based largely on two problems we encountered.
First, the Park Manor Suites has NO AIR CONDITIONING Normally this is not a problem in San Diego, but the days we spent there were hot and humid. The room had two cheap box fans and lots of windows, but noise from the traffic outside meant we couldn’t keep the windows open at ...
