Sheraton San Diego Resort

Sheraton San Diego Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Location was great close to all that water attractions. The property was very nice. The room was s little small but it got the job done. I would definitely stay here again."

The Dana on Mission Bay

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good
"The Dana has seen better days. Inflation gets us all. My main gripe with The Dana is that accessibility could be improved throughout the property. The sidewalks are thin and the accessible pathway seems added as an afterthought (one was quite steep even for my light scooter -- doesn't seem safe for a wheelchair person by himself). Also, parking is relatively cramped and often overflowing. Beyond this, The Dana is at an exceptional location and is a good hotel for corporate functions with nice pools overlooking either the bay or the marina. The Firefly restaurant is quite good."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good
"The hotel room was clean, and the gym and pool were both nice. However, I was disappointed with the room view. I specifically booked and was promised a city view, but instead, my room overlooked the parking lot. The pool area itself was enjoyable, but the drink service was very slow. The bar was constantly packed, which made ordering and waiting forever for drinks - hotel needs more servers so we’re better accommodated. The pool restroom also needs much more attention and regular cleaning. It was in very poor condition every time I used it during my stay. Lastly, I was disappointed that my request for a late checkout could not be accommodated. Considering the amount of money I spent at the hotel during my stay, I expected a little more flexibility and better overall service."
