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."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"It was very nice."
