Top Beach Cities San Diego County Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great pool and surrounding area. We overlooked the boats and were able to sit out and relax on the grass. Breakfast was lovely."

The Wayfarer San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are very customer oriented. The property is right on the beach with restaurants options within walking distance. The Cafe offered a lot of options. My room was comfortable and clean. It was also very quiet."

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The beach was wonderful. The room was a great size for the family of four. Only two things that keep me from giving it a 5 star: The patio really needed a good cleaning, looked like it had not been done in a long time and we could not go out there barefoot. The other was a small housekeeping item. My son had some chocolate milk in a glass and house keeping did not replace the glasses just quickly rinsed them out and put them back. We could tell because there was still chocolate milk on the bottom of the glasses. Everything else was really nice and I would go back."

Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

8/10 Good

"The front desk staff was pleasant. I thought that the lobby lighting was ocean themed. Possibly some sort off jellyfish light fixtures. It turns out they were just old light fixtures with the upholstery falling off. Unfortunately housekeeping didn't have my room ready until about 1 hour after check-in time (3pm). My room was right next to a busy street (noisy) and upstairs neighbors were super loud walkers, jumping off bed to floor late into the night. Driving off property was a challenge due to a huests huge Ryder rental box truck parked blocking half of tthe driveway and huge pieces of palm trees blocking the other half."

10/10 Excellent

"It's my family and I's once a year go to. The nicest place to stay in S.D. 10 out of 10."
