Recent Reviews in Mission Bay

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"It was very nice."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was modern and the location is good. Bed wasn’t the best and would recommend bringing your own pillows. Parking price has increased from $40 to $46 a night in August 2026 and is in a public parking lot owned by a third party-so no dedicated parking spots for hotel guests. There was also fruit-infused water daily at the front desk when I went. Overall I would stay here again."

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"I didn’t notice renovations other than the lobby. My king suite unit was great. Wall of slider windows & 2 separate decks created a panoramic view of the marina. Furniture needed cleaning. Towels were plush and clean; robe is appreciated. Six small worn pillows on a king bothered me, it wasn’t comfortable. More appropriate is 4 larger pillows. Shout out to Tiana at the front desk! She was affable, friendly and very helpfully attentive. Her attitude stood out from the rest. Alexis, restaurant manager, was exceptional in customer service. He was friendly and professional. Great asset and made my long stay at the hotel more enjoyable."
