Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

Employees like her make a real difference in the guest experience. I highly recommend recognizing her for her excellent service and dedication. Thank you, Ms. Laily, for your kindness and for making our stay so special!"

You can spend an entire vacation in the hotel with the different restaurants, bars, bowling, pool etc!! We are going to make it an annual trip!!"

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s not clear where to pull over if arriving by car and right in front of hotel is a no stopping zone. You need to pull into unmarked driveway just before hotel with a no unauthorized vehicle sign and then park temporarily while checking in"

Ash&9th

8/10 Good

"Very clean room and staff was great. It is an older property that was redone, but only partially. New floors and fixtures but old furniture and lamps. Outside needs some TLC- cleaning, paint and repairs. Neighborhood was fine, bed comfortable, AC cold. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker, blow dryer all in room. Luggage storage before check in was free. Pictures online are a mix of new and old- lobby not what is pictured."

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very responsive and helpful. Nice to have a kitchen (though you need to remember to get oil, condiments, etc). Some pans, utensils, cups, and dishes available. Microwave and full fridge super convenient to have! Outdoor activity area was nice. Area surrounding hotel was a little sketchy but we parked on the street without issues. Biggest downside was the noise—planes overhead and more sirens than I’m used too (not sure of its bc hotel is located near freeway or the general area itself)."
