Springhill Suites San Diego Downtown/Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super friendly and helpful. Room was really comfortable and clean. Anytime I needed anything I would call front desk and they’d pick up quickly, and I would receive the item (soap, toothepaste etc) in about 10min. I came for a conference and I’m glad I stayed here due to the convenient location (about 10min from airport) and it was a great place to unwind at the end of the long days. Would definitely stay here again, no complaints."
