Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent
"This was a couple day tourist trip for us and the location was outstanding. And paying the few bucks to get a bay view balcony was worth it for relaxing after getting back to the room at the end of the day. There's a few great restaurants on site or across the street, right on the bay, which we preferred over the chaos in the Gas Lamp district. And a deli for coffee, a quick breakfast, snacks, wine, etc right in front of building 3 on the street for any conveniences you might desire. It's only 5+ minutes from the airport and the hotel has a shuttle. We didn't know this and the "convenient" taxi gouged us. Overall, it's a really good value hotel for a great experience. It will be your own fault if you can't enjoy it."
