Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great hotel - clean and well laid out. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the amenities are great."

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay. Just stayed one night for a staycation. The room are nice, clean and new. We had a balcony overlooking the bay. It's small, but did the job. The view was great. The pool area was very nice. Two pools and a hot tub with poolside bar. Check in took a while because there was a long line; otherwise, no complaints. It's a great location if you want to be at the bay, in downtown and/or right next to the convention center."

The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Although clean, the room was the smallest we’ve ever stayed in, to the point that the sink was in the room not the bathroom. Very nice rain shower, but water didn’t drain properly the first day - it was fixed after notifying the front desk. View out the window was a wall several feet away. Air conditioning unit was loud and rattled all night, and the bed was hard and uncomfortable. Parking was $50 per night, but that appeared to be par for the downtown area."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"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"
