"Great place to stay and about 10-15 minutes from everything. Pool was absolutely amazing and a fun atmosphere. There were some ants crawling from our drain but they took care of it once we called."

"Had a great stay with the family. The only issue was they ran out of pool towels so we had to use our room towels, but the front desk was quick to replace what we had used. This was our second stay here and will not hesitate to book a third when we come back to the area"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good
"The hotel was clean, the pool and gym workout areas were nice, and the view to the west from Tower 2 was spectacular. However, the rooms were a bit outdated as far as the furniture, carpet and drapes. Was a bit concerned about the height of the balcony (Tower 2) railings, since they didn't seem high enough for safety reasons. The television lacked a good menu/channel lineup, even though the television was newer. The outside elevator in Tower 2 that allowed you to see outside was a great idea, but it wasn't working during our stay, which would've been cool! The water refill stations on the premises were great! However, the ice machine on our floor wasn't working. Loved the Claim Jumper restaurant and convenience of just running downstairs for a fairly inexpensive and good meal. Parking fees were a bit ridiculous at $50/day, especially when the parking was cramped and tight to get in and out of vehicles."
