We stayed here for 1 night at the end of a cruise. Location was perfect, but getting to the hotel did not go well. There was confusion on where to meet the van, then we waited over 1/2 hour when we were told 15 minutes. Maybe driver came while we figured out where to go, maybe not. It didn't get... More

The location is perfect, walking distance to Little Italy, Gaslight, the Bay, and easy drive to other neighborhoods. Rooms are large, bathrooms-a little tight. Breakfast is good, however you have to go outside the hotel to the attached restaurant. Parking is in-door and secure. Price is very reasonable, would definately stay again! More

Me and my colleague were here for one week. Overall our stay was very pleasant. The hotel location was perfect if you are doing business in downtown. The hotel has a parking but check again as the online price does not show daily parking rates. The frontdesk staff were helpful as we did an early check-in. One disappointment was that... More

The location is perfect if you want to stay downtown. Just a few blocks to the bay. Not far from Balboa Park, Horton Plaza, the gaslight area. Parking extra. Helpful staff. It is downtown,so you will hear trains, cars and sirens. Don't expect a quiet interlude! We had no problem sleeping though. More

The people, from Sylvia to Vera are so wonderful, helpful, caring and really fun! I've just finished a stay there for 4 weeks and I can't say enough good things about how comfortable these people made my stay. The rooms are nice, nice views, breakfast is included -- even the other guests were pleasant. More

In the heart of San Diego and close to the Bay, Bayside Inn is a good place to be. There is an excellent service, quick and respectfull. The rooms are clean, spacious and loaded with the minimum things you would need. I found an iron with an iron-board that I used right away. The room has also a microwave, and... More

We stayed at the Best Western before our cruise. The rooms were clean and comfortable with small patios overlooking the bay. We had a couple of minor problems initially with TV and phone but these were taken care of immediately by the staff. Staff were couteous and helpful.

We stayed at this hotel post cruise, I bid on the room thru Orbitz and stayed for about $125/night. The room was comfortable and the location was convenient. We walked to the Little Italy district the first evening and had a great Italian Diner at Chianiti, which the front desk recommended. We had a car rental (parking was $10/night, going... More
