Top La Mesa Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent
"We stay here every year for the festival that happens across the street at the waterfront park. Close, convenient and has great views all around. Beds are comfortable, staff is plenty nice. There may have been a miscommunication about the view I wanted, but I didn’t want to complain so I accepted my fate with the view we got. It was still beautiful. I love having the restaurants downstairs, steak and eggs for breakfast from claim jumpers was amazing. Such a great way to fuel up before the festival then we headed out. I will say, the $50 a day for parking is quite a stretch, especially when staying multiple days and there being no elevator for the roof of the parking structure. Taking our luggage down was fine, but I then leaving I drove my car to the bottom level and packed up from there. Overall, great experience and we will be returning next year for the same event :)"
