"My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a quick weekend getaway. The customer service was excellent. Check in went smoothly and our room was upgraded to a larger suite. The valet attendants were hustling to ensure clients did not have to wait for their vehicles. The property was exceptionally clean. Both evenings, someone arrived to provide turndown service, bottle water (sparkling as well), and to offer any additional services. All staff were exceptionally pleasant and friendly. This was our...

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

8/10 Good

"This place felt like Hawaii! Loved the slides for the kids but do call and check if it’s open sometimes they have maintenance going on. Also the staff was super friendly and made our kids so happy! Especially Emy and Rosa in the gift shop they delivered a snores set and cookies to our kiddos! Made it so special. It’s a great place to stay for families!"

Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

8/10 Good

"Nothing special. I don’t know if it was in a good part of town or not, but the rooms were clean. Unfortunately, some nearby guest like to smoke pot and the smell was pretty rank . Lots of good restaurants in the area. Not far from the social scenes if that’s what you are into. For some reason, they felt like they should charge $20 for parking even though I was already renting a room."

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised that my reservation included a free American breakfast. The breakfast lounge was clean and had an updated minimalist feel to it which was quite relaxing. The room was clean and we loved the air conditioning system that really cooled us down on a hot summer day. The location is so convenient to Old Town San Diego. The staff was friendly! I’d stay here again."
