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.

Claire

A table with a fire feature, a charcuterie board, and two glasses of wine, overlooking a marina with boats.

Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel

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

A swimming pool with a tiled edge, a blue lounge chair, and decorative wooden panels.

Best Western Plus Bayside Inn
