Top Lakeside Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn San Diego-Kearny Mesa

Kearny Mesa

10/10 Excellent

We selected this hotel for location, however the services provided by the hotel and staff were excellent. Staff could not have been more helpful, from the manager (very visible during our stay), to reception and housekeeping staff. The complimentary breakfast was very good, and again staff couldn't have been more attentive during this service. Rooms were well equipped (even had a microwave). I would highly recommend this hotel.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Diego North, CA

Sorrento Valley

10/10 Excellent

I've stayed at this hotel before and would definitely stay here again. The staff are friendly, approachable and offer exemplary customer service. The rooms are great and everything was spotless. The air con was a bit loud but I don't live somewhere that needs it and most people might not even notice. Either way I was able to turn it off when I wanted with ease. I wasn't affected by noise on the floor- couldn't really hear anyone in adjacent rooms :) The breakfast was good and there was a good...

Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel

National City

10/10 Excellent

This is the second time in two years that I have used the Best Western. I have returned to a good room, a good view, a great King size bed. Also, a hot jacuzzi, a clean pool and use of the cable machine in the gym. I also learned that there is a laundry room. All I need is a kitchenette and I am settled. Also, low key looking forward to the balcony. Best value if you book ahead. Oh, their coffee machine in the Lobby is A1. As long as they don’t change the beans.

Vincent
