Wyndham San Diego Bayside
4.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (5501)
"The desk clerks never really seemed to know the answers to questions about the area. There was a bit of confusion about our connecting rooms when we checked in, we ended up with non connecting rooms but they were close to each other so it was fine. Beds were soft, pillows okay, carpets were torn in spots. Some street noise first thing in the morning. But a good location along the embarcadero & close to the trolley stop."
