"This was the worst hotel I stayed ever. First when I booked this hotel was because of the price and it was very close to the University that was son going to attend the upcoming school year. There was good and bad reviews when I did my research but I never expected the conditions the hotel had until we got there. We notice a few homeless Check in was fairly good because the lobby was clean. If fact, we were staying there because it was move in day at the university."

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"Clean room. good breakfast"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"The view was great! We upgraded to the higher floor package and were on the top floor facing the bay. The hotel was convenient to everything we did and wanted to do. The room was a bit dated and worn and the price for parking was a little bit steep. Lizle was a FANTASTIC front desk host. She was warm and inviting from the start to finish of our stay. You have a jewel of an employee with her."
