Top San Diego Bay Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was clean and very nice. The only thing I was unaware of was the valet parking is the only parking they have. They will take it out of the incidental you pay though. Overall an amazing trip."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"Great location and rooms in good shape. Check in was smooth. Only downside: Parking sucks. Tiny, tiny parking stalls. Valet parking first three floors and mostly empty, everyone else has to squeeze into a small stalls and suffer dings to both sides of their vehicle."

Ramada by Wyndham San Diego National City

8/10 Good

"Definitely skimped on towels. Bed is very dirty underneath covers. Random people outside at all hours. Literally a hooker site. Will walk around in practically nothing outside of hotel entrance, whistle at men, wave at you. It’s just gross. Good area, but could definitely be in better condition. Cops rolled around parking lot about 1x per hour everyday! Probably looking for hookers. Literally don’t stay here dude. They are all over the Jack in the box across the street which is also homeless central 😩."
