Cardiff-by-the-Sea hotel guide. Wyndham Hotels hotel in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California

"As soon as we got into our room, we saw cockroaches crawling on the floor. We left and stayed somewhere else. "

"The property itself is definitely a bit nostalgic – very much in the style of the 60s beach family vacation vibe, which can feel a little bit dated or charming, depending on your view. It’s a really beautiful spot and there are two pool areas as well as a walking path along the bay. Room was nice, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely recommend. The only downside is that you really do need to get in your car to go exploring, but it’s pretty centrally located with easy drive to Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, and the airport or downtown. But if you’re looking to be in an area where you can walk to shops, cafés, restaurants that’s not what this offers. But very relaxing to sit by the pool and there is a restaurant on site."

"They did not advertise the $24 a night for parking. As we booked through Expedia, we had one of the most undesirable rooms far rom the office. Will not stay there again."

"They had very clean properties and rooms. A wonderful variety of activities for all ages from making slime to pickle ball to painting class and of course the daily pool activities. Great family fun."

"Great central location for visiting sites like Sea World and the San Diego Zoo with a short drive to fast food and highway access. We liked the multiple pools, beautiful garden/pond area and walking distance to the beach. The pool bathrooms could have been cleaner and there is a lot of bird poop if you’re staying near the pond, but the room was very clean. Overall, it was an easy and pleasant experience for our family!"

"I had a great time, it was comfortable. Only issue I had was that the room felt super humid and smelled like mold. Other than that it was good."

"Everything was excellent."

"nice all around quick stay "

"The staff was excellent we were there for a week and our room was cleaned every day and bed changed every day you don’t get that special treatment at other more expensive hotels we have stayed at.We will definitely stay here again!"
