Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Close to mostly everything. Easy check in and out. "

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean. I like seeing her very much. I did see a large dog and it seemed welcoming to pets. We have a pet and I was hoping to bring it. Maybe next time the only complaint I would have is the main pool was under renovation or some kind of construction. We were really helping to go in a hot tub. Maybe if there was one by the adult pool that would be nice."
