Recent Reviews in Mid-City

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, big thank you to the HardRock team for making it an awesome experience!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"I always stay at the Dana when I’m in San Diego has a great location on mission bay lots of things to do. The pools and hot tubs are great and the staff is always helpful this trip I got my Expedia’s vip upgrade to the bay view building on the top floor with a nice deck and views of mission bay and spectacular sunsets!"

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Bahia property is very nice but on the older side. First and foremost, the shower combo tub did not have any safety bar to hold on to to get in or out of the shower. The room was clean. Would like to see the Television upgraded so that there were apps such as Netflix, Prime etc. There was no guide for the few HBO stations, so there was no way to know what movies were playing and the time the movies would begin."
