Top Sail Bay Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice Place"

Catamaran Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We would definitely stay here again! The property was beautiful!!! Staff were friendly, rooms were clean."

The Wayfarer San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"All of the staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and well supplied. The pool and hot tub were nice with plenty of space and accessibility to lawn chairs and soft cushion poolside beds. **This is a beachside location which will have saltwater air side effects. With that in mind I noticed that the room had a particular musty stagnant air smell that was only noticeable as you re-enter the room. It wasn’t overwhelming and distracting while in. The other salt water air side effect was that it makes the balcony sliding door a little weathered but all worked well despite that. I’ll definitely stay at the Wayfarer again and it was well worth the money spent!"

Ocean Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent oceanfront location. The staff was awesome, from check-in to housekeeping everyone was friendly and extra helpful. Bed was comfortable, and the views and location so close to the beach and great food was amazing."

The Beach Cottages

8/10 Good

"Wonderful location. Steps away from the beach and several restaurants. Only negative was that the building is older and no air conditioning. It was very warm in our room at night (ceiling fans and a floor fan helped). Easy in and out parking."

Boardwalk Hotel: Bikes, Boards & Beach Gear Included

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the "mini apartment" feel, the convenience of the kitchenette. the location was fantastic. the bed was super comfortable. close to lots of restaurants and the beach and boardwalk. the guy at the Rentals place where we picked up the beach cruiser bikes was SUPER nice and friendly, courteous, and helpful. I forget his name he was working the afternoon of Thursday SEPT. 24 . I would love for his boss to know he's great employee"

Surfer Beach Hotel
