"This was the worst hotel I stayed ever. First when I booked this hotel was because of the price and it was very close to the University that was son going to attend the upcoming school year. There was good and bad reviews when I did my research but I never expected the conditions the hotel had until we got there. We notice a few homeless Check in was fairly good because the lobby was clean. If fact, we were staying there because it was move in day at the university."

Top Mid-City Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room! Excellent service! Excellent location!"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The tropical grounds were beautiful and the property had that tropic hawawii feel, which was amazing. Love the poolside service and movie nights for kids. Love the water activities for families or solo. Staff were really friendly and great. Love the golf cart shuttle to rooms. Rooms were clean. Smaller hicups were our refrigerator was broken so things we purchased went bad over night. The store could use a revamp, and needs more of a variety and a few more grocery items. Prices were very high i think their over all sales and profit margines would be better served to have more affordable items, like 4.50 and above for a bottled water soda or drink candy i think finding a way to gain whole sale items such as smores kits at a 15 dollar price point would increase sales 10 fold. Sometimes higher prices doesnt translate to higher sales if price point is somewhat exhorbent. While lower price point can generate more sales and potential higher return. Also chairs on the beach weatherproof ones, rooms need a slight upgrade in design not a expensive one but a fresh painting n few design changes."

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Me and a couple of friends did a staycation at the Lafayette to celebrate my friends engagement and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff left us a nice little surprise in our room consisting of champagne and some fruit. It was so sweet. We spent the whole day at the pool on Sunday and then went to dinner outside of the hotel but came back later for a night cap. Always love spending time at the Lafayette and cannot wait to go back. A final thank you again to all the amazing staff!"
