California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"The pictures wasn't exactly what it seemed but the property was cool and the staff was great."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"The property met our needs and was located near Seaport, little Italy, and the Gas Lamp. The property is old and is noticeably older than other nearby resorts. We stayed in tower III and it smelled old and had bubbling carpet. Room amenities were average. We also had mixed results with staff. Some were helpful and some seemed very annoyed. There were also several folks that called themselves concierges and they kept approaching us with various offers that required a tour. I don’t think I would stay here again."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at Paradise Point Resort & Spa! The beach access was beautiful and made it so easy to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. We especially loved spending time at the pools — they were clean, fun, and perfect for both relaxing and family time. The resort had so many great amenities that made our trip feel like a true getaway. We would definitely love to come back again!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms, nicely maintained outdoor landscaping. Nice property. A little tired in the overall resort, but staff was very helpful. Rooms clean. Housekeeping very thorough. Surprised to hear the bar closes early. Arrived after 9PM, and thought we'd go in for a glass a wine, but they had closed for the night. Strange. Overall, a nice stay. Close to the marina where we were sailing out of."
