Top Altadena Hotel Reviews

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent at this property. Restaurant and bar were small but very very good. We will come back here for sure!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, central located to walking activities. It's nice to have a view of the bay but not nice to look onto the dirty roof tops of the buildings in front of us. That I do not know if they can do anything about. On a nicer note we spoke with a lovely lady about different eating places we could walk to, she even gave up a coupon to eat at a few that were in front of the hotel, down the water front."
