Wyndham San Diego Bayside
4.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very Good, 5,893 reviews
"The property is conveniently located so it made it easy to walk to the area’s attractions. Lots of restaurant options, and the staff was very helpful. The downside was that there is no microwave in the room, parking cost $42 a night and the refrigerator in the room that we stayed in froze everything, on the lowest temperature. Overall, I would stay again due to the location and staff. "
