Top American Plaza Hotel Reviews

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! Thank you to great staff"

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."

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"the hotel although is old looking, is quite modern. it still has old feel but has new fixtures. the room was very comfortable. staff was overly friendly, which was very nice when you are traveling. the coffee in the room was so great. we really loved the location, we walked about 4 square blocks around the hotel every direction. it is very centrally located. there is a new whole foods market 2 blocks away, it was very nice as well. thanks for a great stay."
