California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"The pool and hot tub were great! It is nice they serve free coffee and creamer when the office is open (but not before it is or after it closes.) It was great having free parking for our car! The price was reasonable. (The shower dripped badly, which we reported as we checked out.) The hot tub could use some cleaning. The people staying above us and outside our room were making noise throughout the night and in early morning. IT WOULD HELP TO POST A QUIET POLICY FROM 10 PM- 7 AM as many hotels do and post it in the office and throughout the hotel grounds. Overall it was a good experience and reasonably priced."

"Dont judge this place from the outside. My first question was if there was security at night. I walked into the room and boy o boy it was fantastic Nice new everything . very modern as well. A/C kicked butt stayed nice and chilly b. big TV clean bathroom . They DO NOT have breakfast as the website's states. Fair warning."

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice and clean, and so was the room. My complaint with the room is that there's no air flow. The lowest you can set the room to is 68, can't even turn on the fan to circulate the air. The window is a solid piece of glass, so there's no opening it to get air flow or to enjoy the evening fresh air. The other complaint is with the front desk. I had to ask them a couple of things and they just seemed annoyed that I would even ask them. The hotel itself was greatly located, but I will pass on ever staying there again. 5 nights with a $625 incidental hold, then they kept $243 for their resort fee or whatever. Plus, if you drive, they charge $75 per night to park your car there, even if you're staying at the hotel."

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"First time here. Overall great stay. I would request a top floor room next time as the people above us had small kids and we kept hearing their runs march all over their room at 7am and constantly open and close the sliding glass door. We brought our own paddle board but forgot the pumper for it. Maintenance only had an air compressor so we couldn’t use it. Do yourself a favor and Bypass the beach restaurant (flavorless food all around) and stick to ordering room service with the extra $12 service/delivery charge, the $12 is worth the better food!! We had a great stay and my son asked to come back regardless of the inability to sleep in due to the family above us."
