Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good

"Didn’t feel like a hard rock"

Springhill Suites San Diego Downtown/Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Went stayed here for the 4th of July holiday and it did not disappoint. The fireworks went off right infront of the hotel! You could view them from the peer or the hotel. They ran out of parking on the 4th (I think some people snuck in), but parked our car with valet for free because we had already paid for parking. My only complaint was they didn’t have a hot tub. Everything else was perfect. Great location, clean, and helpful staff!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Honestly I was expecting much, much worse based on the reviews I had seen of this hotel so I was pleasantly surprised by most of the staff and the quality of the room. We were given our daily coffee vouchers, we had the same woman every morning and she was absolutely wonderful but I did not catch her name. We did have a cat with us, which I was a little worried about as the hotel policy says "pets" but when I called to confirm our details I was told "dogs" and that the dog could not be left in the room unattended (I believe the actual policy is they must be in a carrier/crate if no one else is in the room, which makes sense for safety). My only issue is the parking. I had calculated how much it would be for our stay, no biggie it was $50/night so a total of $250. However the day of our check out, I hear the gentleman tell a woman checking in it was $20/night, meaning I was charged over double that amount. When we tried asking for more details or an explanation, we were given the email to a manager named "Alejandra" who still has not replied almost a month later. And "Alejandra" was not the manager present when we were checking out. So overall, I liked the hotel, did not appreciate the price discrepancy when it came to parking and definitely did not appreciate the lack of a response so overall I liked my stay but I would not return."

InterContinental San Diego by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the InterContinental San Diego by IHG during the Fourth of July weekend. We booked a Premium Room with a king bed and a city view but ended up with a partial city and harbor view (Room 1737). We were very happy with this, as we had a clear view of the 250th fireworks display from our floor-to-ceiling windows. We stayed at the hotel for four nights, and the housekeeping was only adequate at best. On a few occasions, dirty plates and glasses were left in the room without being taken away or replaced with clean ones. Additionally, the bed and pillows definitely need to be replaced, as the bed was sagging and the pillows were too flat. Overall, the room was fairly clean, and for us, the bathroom's cleanliness is very important, which was a plus. The best part was the convenience of the parking, especially when you have a rental car. It is very easy to get in and out and to access the highways. Two things that may have been missed are the $23-per-day credits from the amenities fee that can only be redeemed at the three restaurants, which we didn’t get to use at all. Additionally, there is no refrigerator in the room, and there is an additional $30 fee when you request one."
