Best Western Plus Bayside Inn

I stayed at this hotel for 6 nights with my husband and 2 children (10 & 7). Our room had 2 double beds and a sitting area with a couch and table. Not all rooms have the couch/sitting area, so you could ask for a bigger room if necessary. The room was excellent. It was comfortable and clean. We used the pool/spa every day. Its small in size but enough for a swim for the kids and a relax in the spa for the adults. The gym is small but clean. Breakfast was a standard American breakfast. Nothing fancy, but plentiful enough to start the day. The hotel is in an excellent location and is an easy walk to the waterfront, USS Midway, Sea Port Village, Little Italy, Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter. The trolley stop is a couple of blocks away. There is parking on site if required. I'd definitely recommend the hotel to others. less

We stayed one night after a Panama Canal cruise ending in San Diego. A free shuttle is available from the terminal, but rather than wait, we rolled our suitcase along the sidewalk for 15 minutes. There is a short slight uphill after the railway crossing. The room was not ready - we waited from 10:30am to 2:15pm. We went out to tour the waterfront, and when we got back they offered a beverage since the room was still not ready. Finally we got our King room with City view (1406). The room was nice and modern, comfy bed and linens, good lighting, huge flat screen TV, large fridge, microwave, keurig machine, safe. There are blackout blinds hidden behind the sheers. Shower head with multi setting and decent water pressure. Location is excellent, near Little Italy. Make sure you see it in both daytime and night time. There were free daily papers at the reception. Lots of restaurants nearby. We tried the The Kebab shop for a light bite. (Still full from the 15 day cruise). The free continental breakfast included sub-par pastries and coffee but decent pancakes. We had a free shuttle bring us to the airport at 9:40 am as an extra run (regular one was at 10am) Considering the reasonable price we got it was a great choice for San Diego. . less

Check in & check out was quick. The bed was comfortable, room was cleaned everyday, valuable price as breakfast was included. Breakfast was Continental breakfast with 3 types of cereals, scrambled eggs, alternate sausages or ham, alternate waffles or pancakes. Rice was provided & also furikake (Japanese rice sprinkles - salmon flavoured) to eat with. Free Wifi & shuttle bus from airport or to Santa Fe Amtrak train station. If you don’t have lots of luggages, it’s actually only 4 minutes walk to Santa Fe train station. All stars are friendly specially the front office staff named Elena. I’ve joined Best Western Rewards program even though we are not from US. It’s a good location if you want to walk around the downtown area to Little Italy & about 10 min walk to USS Midway Museum with Fish markets located next to the museum. It’s better to request the room location facing swimming pool in lower floors as it has the least noise. During the weekend that we stayed, there was Octoberfest party that was right next to the hotel. It was noisy the whole day & to late nights but we barely hear anything. We have try hard to hear & very quiet in the room to be able to hear very tiny noise from outside. Definitely will be back to stay here whenever we go to San Diego again. less

We haven't had a great experience with best western so far. It is our honeymoon and we were refused to purchase a bottle of wine. Every other hotel gave us one as a present. Not this hotel....i'm not sure i'd be rushing back. Most of my reviews are usually positive but this is the first time i have had to stay in Best Western. Views and location are amazing and bed is lovely and comfy. Although a bed seems more comfortable with a nice glass of wine. I'm sure there are far superior hotels in San Diego less

Hotel is ok with clean and big rooms. Bed was very uncomfortable. The baby crib was of bad quality. The breakfast was ok, typical American one. Location is fine. The parking is good but you need to pay for it less
