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."

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"There is a sink, there a mirror, there is an outlet. They are nowhere near each other. That made getting ready a little difficult. There's basically no stay on site. I saw one person once in 3 days. It was still a great stay and a cute hotel."

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was wonderful, it was quiet, and very relaxing. I would recommend this stay to anyone, but would recommend the upgrade to the penthouse, made it that much better!"
