Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was most excellent about the property, staff, and room. The only difficulty was that we couldn't cool down our room from 71 to 66. Guest services lent us a floor fan, which was a great help. I would highly recommend staying here!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really nice. We were on the 11th floor facing the water. We sat out on the terrace and watched people on the boardwalk and watched the planes take off and leave. The only complaint i had was that we ciuld feel the floor shaking a little. Rhe carpet in the hallway needed to be stretched because it had loose spots. Everytgibg else was good. It is walkinf distance from rhe USS midway museum. Thr hotel was a little hard to figure out where to park your car. We pulled in behid the hotel and tgeb went inside. If we would have pulled around by tge boardwalk, we would have gotten in easier. The Claim jumper restaurant was ok. We sat forever outside waiting for out server to get us water. Food took forever too. All we got waa hambugers. Food was good. For breakfast we went across to the Pier and ate a good breakfaat sandwich for $8."
