"My host was such a sweetheart, she provided complimentary dinner and the fridge came with food and snacks that she prepared for me and the kids. She is really sweet, even went as far as buying clothing for my nieces and cooking delicious dinner for us. This place is 100% kid friendly and it even comes with a playground for your children. My nieces had so much fun on the playground. The place is very cute and cozy, it comes with a shower, washer/dryer, sink/small kitchen/fridge and even a patio....

"Terrible ! It was described way different on the location where it was . We were charged way too much for everything for one night. It was ridiculous. I thought it was in La Jolla. I was in Mount helix you don't get the actual address until you book it and I didn't have time to book it in advance, so that was my mistake and the people were awful to deal with to try to get information to give to them and the only positive thing I can say that we did have a great family visit, but it was only one...

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent
"The room was really nice. We were on the 11th floor facing the water. We sat out on the terrace and watched people on the boardwalk and watched the planes take off and leave. The only complaint i had was that we ciuld feel the floor shaking a little. Rhe carpet in the hallway needed to be stretched because it had loose spots. Everytgibg else was good. It is walkinf distance from rhe USS midway museum. Thr hotel was a little hard to figure out where to park your car. We pulled in behid the hotel and tgeb went inside. If we would have pulled around by tge boardwalk, we would have gotten in easier. The Claim jumper restaurant was ok. We sat forever outside waiting for out server to get us water. Food took forever too. All we got waa hambugers. Food was good. For breakfast we went across to the Pier and ate a good breakfaat sandwich for $8."
