Hotel near Petco Park

Looking to go to a Padres game our last night in San Diego and would love recommendations for a reasonably priced hotel in walking distance. Thinking $300 US max for 4 people

Great question — finding a hotel walking-distance to Petco Park on a budget of around $300 US for 4 people is absolutely possible, especially if you’re willing to stay in downtown / Gaslamp Quarter hotels. Rates can fluctuate a lot based on game day, events, and how full the area is, so here are some smart options + tips based on current info.

Recommended Hotels Near Petco Park (Walking Distance)

  • Comfort Inn Gaslamp — One of the most budget-friendly downtown options. Located on G Street, it's safe, clean, and walkable to Petco Park.
  • Hotel Indigo San Diego – Gaslamp Quarter — Very close to the stadium (around a 4-minute walk according to hotel listings). It’s stylish, has a rooftop bar with stadium views, and often offers rates near or under your $300 cap (depending on timing).
  • Residence Inn San Diego Downtown / Gaslamp Quarter — A good pick for families: rooms are suite-style with kitchenettes, which could help spread out 4 people comfortably. It's about an 8-minute walk or so to Petco.

Things to Keep in Mind & Tips:

  • Hotel rates downtown can spike a lot on Padres game nights, so book early, especially for your last night.
  • Use price-tracking tools (like hotel-booking apps or alerts) to catch deals in your budget. Last-minute rooms sometimes drop, but not always on big-event nights.
  • Parking near Petco Park can be very expensive, especially for games — consider walking or using rideshare if possible. (Also something to factor into your total cost.)
  • If you’re okay splitting up beds a bit or using a roll-out bed / sofa-bed (if offered), that can help keep costs down.
  • Downtown / Gaslamp is generally walkable and active at night, especially around game time. Some Reddit users note a presence of unhoused people, so just use usual city caution after dark.

Bottom line: The Comfort Inn Gaslamp and Hotel Indigo are your best bets under $300 for a Petco Park night, and the Residence Inn gives you more space if you don’t mind stretching the budget slightly or catching a deal. Book as soon as you can once you know your game date!
