Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Right across the street from the bay. Beautiful area."

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

2/10 Terrible

"Room wasn't clean, got charged by the front desk for my stay even after I notified them that I had already paid via Hotels.com. Breakfast was terrible, they ran out of food all 4 days I stayed the the property. The hotel does not look like the pictures posted."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"Nice concept. Hotel was outdated and felt older. No real room amenities. Outdoor patio to pond isn’t really something ppl would use. $6 surcharge on any food and drink order you make . Every single order you do so if you’re at the pool you have to pay $6 every time you order a drink. Wasn’t awful just not a place we would stay again."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for one Friday night to catch a Padres game. Will definitely stay again. Walking into the stadium is awesome. Coming back from stadium into hotel was kinda hectic cause everyone had to go down to first floor elevator lobby. Rooms were clean, staff helpful and polite. The shampoo, lotion etc smell amazing. Tons of stuff within walking distance. Great stay!"

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"As a resort-style hotel, the surrounding environment is fantastic! It also boasts convenient transportation, with almost everywhere accessible within a 20-minute drive. However, the soundproofing in the guest rooms leaves much to be desired; noise from adjacent rooms is audible. Since my room was near the main entrance, I was frequently woken up by the loud sound of the door opening and closing—despite having specifically requested a quiet room beforehand. I didn't ask to switch rooms because I only discovered the issue after fully unpacking for the night and didn't want the hassle, though I felt it was worth mentioning. Additionally, apart from the front desk staff, the service attitude of the other hotel employees was quite cold. Overall, setting these details aside, the hotel is decent, and the facilities are comprehensive and convenient."
