Hotels near B Street Pier in San Diego

The B Street Pier cruise terminal is at 1140 North Harbor Drive, on San Diego's downtown waterfront, and the port says most cruise ships dock there. When B Street already has two ships, a third uses the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, the next pier south at 1000 North Harbor Drive. The table gives the walk to both, closest to B Street first.

The times are OpenStreetMap walking routes at an even pace, from the hotel's address to the terminal building, measured on October 28, 2026. Add a few minutes if you're pulling suitcases. We checked every hotel within about a 15-minute walk except the Pacific Inn Hotel & Suites on Pacific Highway, whose own website we couldn't find, and added the larger hotels further out. About 28 other places to stay downtown, roughly 16 to 25 minutes away, weren't part of this check, so past 15 minutes this is a shortlist, not every hotel in reach. The airport hotels are in hotels near the San Diego cruise port, which compares all 32 we checked.

Which hotel is closest to B Street Pier?

The Wyndham San Diego Bayside, 1355 North Harbor Drive. It's a 3-minute walk on our measurement, and 6 minutes to Broadway Pier. The port's cruise parking page says it's across the street from the terminals.

The hotel's own pages don't mention cruises, a cruise shuttle or a cruise package, though travel sites describe one, so ask the hotel before you count on it. Self-parking is $50 a night. The port also lists the Wyndham as one of Ace Parking's cruise lots, and the parking guide has that rate.

Which other hotels are a short walk from the terminal?

Three hotels on Bayfront Court are 8 or 9 minutes from B Street and 6 or 7 from Broadway Pier.

• The InterContinental San Diego, 901 Bayfront Court, gives the cruise terminal as 0.4 miles away, which matches our route. Its FAQ says it has no complimentary local shuttle. Self-parking is $57 a day and valet $69, and the hotel charges a $58 daily amenity fee, which it says it waives when you book direct.
• SpringHill Suites and the Residence Inn San Diego Downtown/Bayfront share 900 Bayfront Court. SpringHill calls itself next to the San Diego Cruise Port. Neither provides a shuttle, and both charge $45 a day to self-park and $60 for valet.

The Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown, 1531 Pacific Highway in Little Italy, is 10 minutes from B Street. Its website puts the cruise ship terminal 0.15 miles away, but our walking route is 0.5 miles. Self-parking is $40 a day, and there's no valet.

The Guild Hotel, 500 West Broadway, is 11 minutes from B Street and 9 from Broadway Pier. The Westin San Diego Bayview is 12 and 10. The Westin's $25 daily destination fee includes a shuttle to and from the airport, the only airport shuttle we found at a downtown hotel. It doesn't say the shuttle goes to the cruise terminal.

Which hotel near the port sells park and cruise?

The Best Western Plus Bayside Inn, 555 West Ash Street, a 12-minute walk from B Street Pier. It's the only hotel on this list where we found a park and cruise package: one night with 4 or 7 nights of covered parking, and the hotel says it can accommodate longer stays. It shows no price and names no shuttle, and it describes itself as 5 blocks from Broadway Pier and the cruise terminal.

Outside the package its covered parking is $30 a night, the lowest rate of the downtown hotels that publish one. The park and cruise guide compares its package with the two near the airport.

Which part of downtown is closest to the ship?

The four Embarcadero hotels above are closest. After them:

• Little Italy, north of the terminals, is 10 to 18 minutes from B Street on foot. The Hampton Inn, Carté, the Residence Inn San Diego Downtown and the Best Western are 10 to 12 minutes away. La Pensione, the Hilton Garden Inn and the Homewood Suites Downtown/Bayside are 14, the Courtyard Little Italy 17 and the Porto Vista 18.
• Around Broadway and Columbia Street, east of the terminals, hotels are 11 to 18 minutes from B Street and 2 or 3 minutes closer to Broadway Pier. In order: The Guild, the Westin Bayview, Hotel Republic, The Sofia, The Bristol, The Westgate, the Westin Gaslamp Quarter and The US Grant.
• The Marina District, to the south by Seaport Village and the Convention Center, is the furthest. Embassy Suites is 13 minutes from B Street and 10 from Broadway Pier, the Manchester Grand Hyatt 16 and 13, and the Marriott Marquis 22 and 20.

Do any of these hotels run a cruise shuttle?

No. None of them lists a ride to the cruise terminal on the pages we could read. By car, every one of them is 4 to 7 minutes from B Street Pier without traffic. The port says a taxi, rideshare or private car can drop you on the pier itself, past the gate, and the terminals guide has the details.

Three of the hotels, Embassy Suites, the Hilton Garden Inn and the Homewood Suites Downtown/Bayside, are on Hilton's website, which only partly loaded for us. Where the table says "not listed" for them, we couldn't check.

What do downtown hotels charge besides the room?

Parking, mainly. Of the hotels that publish a rate, the Best Western is cheapest at $30 a night, and five charge $70 a day or night: Hotel Republic, Carté, The US Grant, and valet at the Manchester Grand Hyatt and the Marriott Marquis.

Some also add a daily fee, according to their websites:

• InterContinental San Diego: a $58 amenity fee, waived when you book direct.
• Westin San Diego Bayview: a $25 destination fee, which includes the airport shuttle.
• Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter: a $25 destination amenity fee.
• Carté: a $15 destination charge, which comes with a $15 food and drink credit.

The Bristol says it charges no resort fee. For the rest, ask when you book.
