Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

10/10 Excellent

"7/19/26 We only stayed 1 night, but overall, we'd stay there again. Rooms and property were as clean as they should be. Staff were amicable. Plenty of dining options within walking distance, or a very short drive. There is a Panera onsite. Pool looked clean. The only issue we ran into was that the 2 ice makers, nearest to our room, were out of order, but it wasn't a make or break for us."
