California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was quick and the staff were friendly, even though we arrived much later than anticipated due to a train delay. It was nice to have such an easy check-in after a long travel day! The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, just as it has been on our previous visits. The beds were great, and there was plenty of drawer space. Having the closet in the bathroom seemed a little odd, but wasn't a big deal. We had a city-view room this time and the view was beautiful! We've stayed here before with bay views, which have always been fantastic as well. We got a great night's sleep before our cruise the next morning. Wi-Fi was easy to connect to and offered good speeds for the limited work I needed to do during our stay. We didn't eat at the property, but grabbed some coffee from the little coffee cart in the lobby, which was quite delicious! Location is really where this hotel shines, especially if you're cruising. The cruise terminal is basically across the street, so you can't get much closer! It's also an easy walk to the USS Midway, Maritime Museum, harbor cruises, and other waterfront attractions. Overall, we've consistently enjoyed our stays here and would absolutely return. Between the friendly staff, comfortable rooms, beautiful views, and unbeatable cruise port location, it's a great choice for a pre-cruise stay!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"The staff were warm, kind, and helpful throughout our stay, and we loved the nightly poolside movies. Unfortunately, the food at the Firefly was a letdown. The cocktails were weak, the flatbread pizza arrived so cold that the cheese hadn’t melted, and the Caesar salad was almost comical: a few strips of romaine with some croutons tossed on top. We were also disappointed that several amenities we’d been looking forward to were closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. The location is great and the property is beautiful, but overall it didn’t quite live up to my expectations."
