Top Cardiff-by-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"This is a nice place to stay. We did the miniature golf, swam in the pool, rented the bikes. A cabinet door in our room was broken. The walls are very thin, so the loud family on the other side was a bit annoying when I was trying to sleep, Other than that, everything else worked fine. The bed was very comfortable, I slept great. The restaurants are both good. We ate one meal at Tidal, the food was great. We ate at the remainder of our meals at the more casual barefoot and really enjoyed it."

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful up-to-date location, clean, the staff was extremely nice very resourceful with a quick and easy check-in. When we got to our room, it was spacious. I love that they offered free parking. The breakfast was good for a quick bite and go. They had various items such as yogurt, cheese, fruits, bagels, and waffles that you can make. I would definitely be coming again. It was an affordable and very comfortable accommodation. Thank you guys!!"

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Great little place to stay. We went to sea world from Orange County and I didn’t want to drive back at night so we stayed just for the night. Room is just what you would expect. The highlight was the heated pool. San Diego is always cold at night so it was perfect for the kids."

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"We came to SD for our daughter’s graduation and commissioning. We had the ocean view villa. Our room was spacious and had an excellent view of the bay. Staff was always pleasant and helpful with requests. The only negative was the room had a musty smell and we were so busy I didn’t think to mention until last day. The staff quickly tried to remedy the smell . The last day the bathroom toilet was leaking sewer smells as the toilet was loose and rocked. That was the camel that broke the camels back as it forced me to call and complain. Which the staff acted quickly and fixed the rocking toilet . Overall we really enjoyed our stay there and would come back."

Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

6/10 Okay

"Elevator in building C was broken had to climb three flights of stairs with luggage. My initial room smells like mildew and did not have a microwave. I asked to be relocated which they did initial Lady to help me out and not give me a parking ticket and every night I was paranoid that I would get towed away. Second Lady that helped relocate me was a sweetheart and tried to make everything better hope her night got better ❤️"
