Fantastic location. It is just 10 mins walk to 5th avenue, 15 mins walk to the Portside pier, and the same distance to Little Italy.

Wyndham San Diego Bayside
Clean, great check in. The sheets had a scent which really bothers me as I am chemically sensitive. Wish you could eliminate the scents in sheets and towels. I like the bathroom lighting, just enough, not overly bright. Same with room.
