Not too bad at all

Overall satisfactory stay. Property was clean and well maintained and staff were helpful, jacuzzi was awesome and friendly and location was pretty ideal. Only gripe is that for the price charged I expected more updated modern rooms, especially bathroom that for the most part was a couple of notches above a motel.

When in San Diego

The hotel was in a great location right in the middle of downtown San Diego. It is about a quarter mile walk away from the marina. There is no beach access for swimming/walking through. The beach access is across the bridge in Coronado Island (which is beautiful, about 15 min drive). There are homeless throughout the downtown area. However, my family and I never felt unsafe or threatened. Also, the hotel has a nice and safe parking area. It is worth the $30 a day fee. My family enjoyed the pool & spa. Very clean & located in a nice private alcove. The staff was kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious & clean. The view of the ocean from our room was gorgeous. I would return to Bayside again.
