Top Mid-City Hotel Reviews

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great choice for an overnight stay. Too bad we didn’t have more time to extend our stay. But this will be a top choice for our next excursion to San Diego. Great location, welcoming staff, beautiful harbor view (glad our room was on that side), full bar and restaurant…so convenient."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

4/10 Poor

"I booked 2 nights at this hotel in San Diego Bayside and it included a $30 Destination fee in the booking. At checkin the front desk clerk was supposed to give me a coupon card for % off restaurants and he DID NOT. We ate twice at the restaurant with no discount. The front desk clerk also did not advise at checkin-in there is a PER NIGHT PARKING FEE of $50.00. I only found this all out because I booked another room Bayfront for 1 more night and was then given the destination card and told about the $50 per night parking fee. That’s $150 parking fee for my 3night stay which is OUTRAGEOUS!!! I ask for the parking fee to be waived but they did not budge. VERY DISATISFIED WITH THE HOTEL’s FRONT DESK STAFFs lack of giving all the essential information upon arrival. Be informed if you stay here."

Hotel del Coronado, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning property! From the moment we went up the driveway to the front of the hotel until our checkout, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at the historic Del. Showstopping beach views, incredible cuisine, and excellent hospitality from every employee definitely has me looking forward to returning in the future. Highly recommend! Five stars *****"
