My wife and I spent two nights here during a recent visit to San Diego. The location is awesome - walking distance to Balboa Park and close to Hillcrest area and downtown. We were given the Carriage House as our room - a separate structure from the main house. It was small but cozy. Great bed! Breakfasts are amazing -... More

The rooms are beautifully furnished and the home has history! Great location with restaurants nearby and places to walk. The breakfasts are simply delicious and elegant. Different each morning, they start with a fresh muffin or scone and then there are 3 choices of breakfast.The evening reception with wine and appetizers in the living room was delightful! Nice to talk... More

They invested a ton of money a few years ago on a high-end renovation/restoration of this beautiful Victorian mansion located in the Banker's Hill area of San Diego, just off of Balboa Park and within a short walk of several good restaurants (one is literally across the street, on the top floor of a 12 story building). We spent two... More

Stayed here for one night in March to celebrate our wedding anniversary and enjoyed it very much. Although we live in San Diego, we wanted to sleep somewhere else to celebrate our anniversary and this was the perfect place! The property is very unique and has undergone extensive restorations that make it lovely. We stayed in the Balboa room which... More

We LOVE Britt Scripps. The restoration that has been done on this beautiful home is outstanding. And their service is excellent. The linens were wonderful and the claw foot tub was so fun. If you appreciate history this is a great place. We cannot wait to go back.

An absolute delight in every way. The Victorian house is beautifully restored with breathtaking attention to detail - the decor, furnishings, ornaments - everything is in keeping with the era but without the cloying kitschness sometimes associated with victoriana. The bed was super comfortable, the linens luxurious, the bathroom a joy. The service was friendly and efficient and we couldn't... More

This is a small, quaint operation. The rave reviews on service from Frommers may lead one to expect a Four Seasons type experience. This is not that. It is personal service from a very small staff at a 9 guest B&B. We did not receive turn down service either night that we were there, for unknown reasons. If you want... More

If you have never before stayed in a bed and breakfast, I would recommend trying this place. The house and grounds are beautiful, with each room uniquely designed and furnished. The location was perfect, steps away from Balboa Park and close enough, yet far enough away, from the Gas Lamp districts hustle and bustle. All of the house staff were... More

This B&B is in a great location, near the museums, theaters, restuarants and Balboa park. It is a very nice old house that has been renovated. The breakfasts are excellent, and the staff are very helpful. I will definitely go back when I am in SD.
