Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, efficient, helpful. It's a great location! I would definitely go back!"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"My husband, our two children, and I had a wonderful stay at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside. The property was clean, well-maintained, and our room was spotless, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights of our stay was the pool. Our kids loved being able to enjoy an evening swim, and the 10 p.m. closing time gave us plenty of time to relax after a day of exploring. The location was another huge plus. It was within walking distance of a park, which was perfect for the kids, and the deli right in front of the hotel was fantastic—convenient and served delicious food. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend the Wyndham San Diego Bayside to families traveling with children. We would happily stay here again!"

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"This has been my second favorite hotel on the planet since I stayed at it with my husband back in 2019. And my two-night stay while visiting a friend this past weekend did nothing to change that vaulted ranking! It is such a *pristine* place in every way! One's room gets cleaned, straightened, and re-supplied with fresh towels *every* day, pre-pandemic style! The concierge works into the evening hours! A male staffer I contacted via phone only a couple hours after checking in, tracked down the backpack I'd left in the women's restroom on the first floor, and then phoned me up to say he'd found it and put it with the suitcase I'd left at the front desk. The Grant Grill cheerfully made avocado toast customized to my fussy friend's specifications for her breakfast, and then cheerfully replaced the steel cut oats I didn't care for with some drop-dead fabulous whole-grain toast. The valet staff were super friendly as were the housekeepers as was the front desk staff. In short, there was absolutely nothing to be unhappy about during my visit except perhaps the carpet! The 2019 patriotic-themed one was soooooooo much classier than the current blue plaid!"
