Top California Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Generally a great stay. Definitely a wonderful location. We had a harbor view room and it was great just to sit on the balcony and enjoy the scenery. All the staff were A+ Our bathroom was a little worn looking and the toilet plumbing needed to be adjusted."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and spacious with lots of drawers for storage. Small refrigerator, no microwave. Lots of extra towels, and an extra pillow. Ironing board and iron, nice spa quality toiletries. Parking close to room but shocked at $50/night charge for parking. Gardens and ponds everywhere, beautiful. Lots of squirrels, birds. Gazebos to hang out in. Several swimming pools, but no outside beverages aloud inside. At night, lots of fire pits available. I don’t recommend premium rooms by the bay if you plan on swimming. Sign said bacteria in water swimming not recommended but view is nice, with several fire pits (bring your own wood)."

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"They were launching their new booking system. It was a mess. It took us 1 hour to check in. The person next to us checked in and later returned to the front desk because the room they were assigned was already occupied. A huge mess and very little help. I recommend calling ahead or expect delays if you are traveling in the coming days, as they're still getting settled with their new system."
