Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Great location great place to schedule your tours and dinning spots. Rooms were clean and the staff was great. Older hotel but still nice."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, a very excellent experience with this Hotel. Friendly and professional staff, lots of nice amenities, and what a great location! If I were to list one negative it would be the breakfast buffet. Muffins and bagels were stale. Scrambled eggs remind me of powdered eggs back in the day, bacon was greasy, and the sausage links were overcooked. Not a real good experience with the breakfast buffet. Might wanna consider going to the one of many other breakfast options around the hotel. Other than that, can’t really argue about this place whatsoever. We’ll definitely go back."

Hotel Indigo San Diego-Gaslamp Quarter by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the convenience of the location. We had a view of the park from our room! Staff for hotel were super friendly and helpful. And the bar up top was relaxing. We had a credit each night for food or beverage. Just be prepared to pay 70$ a night for valet. Unless you want to park a couple blocks over at a parking garage. May be full though if there’s a Padres game."
