Handlery Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very easy nice hotel. Only complaint is the rooms are much smaller than expected. However the pool and hottub area is so nice that it truly makes up for this as you’ll spend more time at the pool than the rooms"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here before. I had upgraded our room and was under the impression we would have a balcony. We only had a small ledge. Disappointed because we really enjoyed sitting on the balcony on our previous trip. So, lesson learned, Next time I will doublecheck to make sure we have a full balcony. We were also right next to the elevator and heard the dinging bell from the elevator late into the night and early morning."
