"Beginning in 1994, I began staying at the Heritage Park Inn for all my business stays in San Diego. As a female traveling alone, security was the number one factor for staying there. In addition, the owner was quick to respond to my business needs -- early in-room breakfasts, computer modem accommodations, an uncluttered working surface, quiet (NO TVs in rooms!!). Also, various restaurants and entertainment are within easy walking distance. Because I've stayed there so much, it is wonderful how all of the staff remembers my likes/dislikes, plus I've tried all the rooms (every room's my favorite)."
"The highlight of our San Diego vacation was staying at the Heritage Park Inn. The Turret Room was a very quiet, romantic room. Nancy and Charles could not have made our stay any nicer; they are great people. The breakfasts were delicious, and the innkeepers were just great, especially George. They made us feel right at home, never forgetting what you like or dislike at breakfast. We really were sad to leave. If we're back in San Diego, we would not stay any place else but the Heritage Park Inn."
"The Morning Glory room was gorgeous, the food scrumptious and the atmosphere calm and peaceful. This is my third stay this year and I am on track to meet my goal of staying at the Inn four times a year. Thank you George and Nancy for the wonderful visit. I can't wait to come back!"
"We were overjoyed by the people and the environment provided for us. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone we know."
"We have stayed at the Heritage Park Inn a number of times and have always been very satisfied. We think their sit down breakfast with all the guests together is a unique experience that not many inns are willing to provide. We always recommend this inn to our friends travelling to San Diego."
"We have always remembered our stay here for our honeymoon ... we will be back in December to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Thank you for a wonderful stay & and memorable accommodations."
"Last 4th of July weekend was our first experience at a bed and breakfast inn and it was amazing. The staff at this inn was so friendly and helpful. We loved our room and had the opportunity to view some of the other guest rooms after meeting the other guests at breakfast. There were so many special and personal touches that really made our experience wonderful. The food was delicious - that includes breakfast of course, as well as afternoon tea. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially after factoring in all of the amenities. Thank you for a great stay! We will definitely be back!"
"My husband and I are so excited about spending our first wedding anniversary at Heritage Park this fall! I visited the Inn a few years ago, and loved every single aspect about my stay. Everything was perfect - Nancy and Charles and the staff were so hospitable, and the lovely inn holds all the important elements - good people, a beautiful home that is obviously loved by its owners, excellent nibbles (and the breakfast!), and a truly charming setting on the hill. I loved pointing out these details to Mike on the website, and we are both looking forward to seeing San Diego again!"
"My husband and I had a wonderful time in February celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary. It was such a comfortable and relaxing place in a very nice area. And the afternoon tea was wonderful. We would recommend this to anyone we know."
"The Heritage Park Inn is a delight! The house is beautiful and every detail has been attended to. The rooms are lovely, as is the setting. The staff is very helpful, genuine and great fun! The candlelit gourmet breakfasts are incredible, not to mention homemade cookies available all day, and a delicious and elegant tea served in the afternoon. I had a fantastic stay here and would recommend it to everyone! I hope to return myself sometime soon. Thanks for an incredible vacation!"
"Wonderful innkeepers, available, friendly, knowing, yet unobtrusive. Look forward to returning."

"What a beautiful place! From the time we walked through the door we were pampered and made to feel welcome. Homemade cookies, Caswell-Massey soap in the bathroom, Godiva chocolates on our pillows, many little touches. We stayed in the Turret room but had a chance to look into several of the others, and they all looked inviting. Some rooms have attached baths and some have baths down the hall. Never fear, because you'll find robes in your room! At breakfast, food was lavish and the company excellent. We felt very safe in the quiet neighborhood and our van, left in the Heritage Park lot, was fine. We walked to the Presidio and to Old Town San Diego, and many restaurants are within walking distance as well. All in all, a wonderful place to stay!"
"I found your inn on the Internet and immediately suggested it to my parents. They were celebrating their 40th anniversary. Needless to say, they loved every minute of their stay. The inn is charming, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It's in a wonderful part of town. A must for any romantic getaway in San Diego! Everyone was friendly and my parents couldn't stop talking about it."
"My wife and I just returned from the most wonderful weekend in San Diego. The highlight was staying at the Heritage Inn ("Forget-Me-Not" Room) for the three days we were in Southern California. The attention to detail was exceptional and the care and kindness of everyone, especially George, was outstanding. We were sorry to leave, but the Heritage Inn will always have a special place in our hearts. Someday we hope to return. PS: I am not a morning person, but the breakfasts were magnificently prepared and delicious. Keep up the great work!"
"Fantastic! My wife Mary and I had a wonderful time staying at the Heritage Inn in Old San Diego. What a delightful way to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. The staff was very tentative to our needs and the room was "very romantic". We recommend this Inn to anyone who wants to celebrate love & life in a very comfortable setting."
"I had an unbelievably good time at the Inn and immediately made a reservation for a return trip. Starting with the incredible hospitality, wonderful breakfast, comfortable rooms all the way to the vintage movie nightly with popcorn. This was my favorite all time vacation spot and I can't wait to go back!"
