Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very good for the entire visit"

The Westin San Diego Bayview

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed there for the weekend. Everything was great, location, staff, accessibility. Everything is 15-20min walking distance. Parking i believe it was $65 for vallet parking ? I parked across the street and it was $30 overnight. The room windows were really dirty from the outside, impairing a really nice view of SD. Every time we flushed the toilet an alarm went off in the bathroom? I don't know what that was about. Other than that, great stay"

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"Overall, the property is great!!! Did have a bit of an issue when attempting to check in the first time. The lady was a bit short when letting me know they were extremely busy and there may be a delay in getting to check in. I was a little early arriving to the property at approximately 3:30 pm. Was told it would be over an hour before my room would be ready. I thanked her and told her we would wait in the lobby. Anyhow, not the biggest dealbreaker."
