The Sofia Hotel
"Was in town for a convention at the Convention Center which was only about a 1/2 mile / 10-15 minute walk away. Chipotle across the street was a lifesaver. Near the Balboa Theater if you’re in town to see a play/ show. Lots of restaurants in the Gaslight District. Petco Park next to Convention Center. ..."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside
"Check in took a little longer than expected as there was only one front desk clerk and a really long line. It wasn’t her fault as I heard her mention she asked for help but the manager brushed her off. The room was small but worked for us. The view of the bay was amazing and it was so neat"
