Top San Diego Bay Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Diego South - Chula Vista by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The best small hotel we’ve ever been to. The place was very well maintained for its class and type of neighborhood"

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was wonderful and helpful. Food and both restaurants attached to the hotel was amazing."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional stay. Clean, comfortable, well planned rooms. The only challenge was there was lots of construction - which is a positive because they're obviously keeping up on maintaining and upgrading the property, however the pool situation is a bit of cluster. There is a smaller pool open currently - but because there are two towers worth of rooms that pool has to service - it was crowded and impossible to find a place to sit down or even a spot to really move around in the pool and enjoy the day. Great location - walk out the back door and your in Seaport village, and right across the street is the Gaslamp District and Petco park. A lot of great things to explore in walking distance. Friendly, helpful staff. Great gift shops and market with everything you could need and more. Loved the scent being infused into the lobby. Just a lovely stay."

Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room clean, did find someone else’s clothes under the vanity"

Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and beautiful views"

The Rambler Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the property. Super clean. Loved the fact that they offer complimentary bike rentals. Grab and go breakfast was not the best though. Very comfortable room and warm showers."

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"It is an amazing property set in the beautiful paradise that is Coronado Island. The Del is definitely top notch. Everything from the amenities, to the room, to the ever-helpful staff make the experience one that stands above the rest. We would like to especially recognize Lizze at reception and Vanessa, host of the Ghost Tour, for the passion they show forth in making the guests feel welcome and engaged. Absolutely the best resort vacation we have taken, hands down. We can't wait to stay at the Del again!"

Motel 6 Chula Vista, CA - San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Microwave in vending room with ice machine."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham National City/San Diego South

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, clean and basic room with everything needed. A bit loud outside at no fault of the establishment."
