Top San Diego Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Location was great, near restaurants and entertainment. Great view of harbor from our room."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional stay. Clean, comfortable, well planned rooms. The only challenge was there was lots of construction - which is a positive because they're obviously keeping up on maintaining and upgrading the property, however the pool situation is a bit of cluster. There is a smaller pool open currently - but because there are two towers worth of rooms that pool has to service - it was crowded and impossible to find a place to sit down or even a spot to really move around in the pool and enjoy the day. Great location - walk out the back door and your in Seaport village, and right across the street is the Gaslamp District and Petco park. A lot of great things to explore in walking distance. Friendly, helpful staff. Great gift shops and market with everything you could need and more. Loved the scent being infused into the lobby. Just a lovely stay."

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! Super clean, super friendly staff! We will be back and recommending this place to anyone coming to San Diego!"

Bahia Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of the best properties I have ever stayed out. Courteous staff. Clean beaches and amazing restsurants. . Just an awesome place close to the beach and amusement park. They even have a seal habitat on the property where they rescued blind seals. You get to watch and appreciate them while drinking your coffee at the excellent airstream cafe beside there habitat. 10/10 resort. Thumbs up from a Canadian."
