California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nicely convenient location provided quiet overnight stay, just what I needed and wanted."

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."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"It was very nice."

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"Clean and feels like paradise"

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"I didn’t notice renovations other than the lobby. My king suite unit was great. Wall of slider windows & 2 separate decks created a panoramic view of the marina. Furniture needed cleaning. Towels were plush and clean; robe is appreciated. Six small worn pillows on a king bothered me, it wasn’t comfortable. More appropriate is 4 larger pillows. Shout out to Tiana at the front desk! She was affable, friendly and very helpfully attentive. Her attitude stood out from the rest. Alexis, restaurant manager, was exceptional in customer service. He was friendly and professional. Great asset and made my long stay at the hotel more enjoyable."
