The Westin San Diego Bayview

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! All of the staff was so nice and helpful and the check in process was one of the easiest I’ve ever had. The only thing we were sad about was that they were undergoing renovations, so we weren’t able to enjoy the atrium, but that’s understandable. Can’t wait to stay again after the renovations are done because I’m sure it will be super nice."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

"The hotel was beautiful the staff very friendly/helpful"
