The Dana on Mission Bay

This was my first stay at The Dana on Mission Bay, and I was genuinely impressed—better than I expected. The location is fantastic: super convenient for driving around San Diego, and just a short walk from SeaWorld. On the first day, I noticed some noise from the nearby highway, but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately offered to switch me to a quieter room—no hassle at all. The new room had a beautiful view of the harbor, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. The hotel’s atmosphere is peaceful and well-maintained, with modern amenities and clean, comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The only downside? Parking is $29 per day, but given how central the hotel is and how great the service is, it’s totally worth it. I’d absolutely stay here again if I’m back in San Diego. Highly recommend this gem!

Bahia Resort Hotel

My husband and I recently tied the knot at Bahia Resort, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We toured several venues across San Diego, but Bahia stood out right away thanks to its genuine warmth and hospitality. From our very first visit, we were welcomed with chilled water, coffee, and light snacks—a thoughtful touch that no other venue offered, and it instantly made us feel like valued guests. I especially appreciated the little details—like toilet seats with covers in the public restrooms, which are surprisingly rare in the U.S. but made me feel more comfortable throughout our stay. The staff truly went above and beyond—always smiling, patient, and eager to assist with anything we needed. The property itself is stunning, featuring a private beach that added such a special, romantic vibe to our wedding day. One of my favorite things about Bahia is how pet-friendly it is—not just for dogs, but for wildlife too. Ducks wander freely around the grounds, and there’s even a resident seal sanctuary on-site. It’s such a unique and charming atmosphere that you don’t find anywhere else. Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered a peaceful retreat after a long day of celebrations. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be adding a kettle in each room for tea lovers. Also, while laundry service is available, it requires purchasing tokens and detergent from the gift shop—but there’s no signage in the laundry area explaining the process, which caused a bit of confusion for some guests. Overall, both my husband and I, along with all our guests, had an unforgettable time at Bahia Resort. The beautiful setting, attention to detail, and exceptional service made our wedding truly special. I highly recommend Bahia Resort to anyone looking for a memorable event space or a relaxing getaway in San Diego.

This place offers such great value for money and the overall experience felt authentic and warm. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet yet convenient getaway.

TownePlace Suites San Diego Airport/Liberty Station

Staying at the TownePlace Suites San Diego Airport/Liberty Station was a fantastic experience, especially for families.

The room came with a small kitchen, which made meal prep easy and convenient, and the on-site laundry facility was a big plus for longer stays. Free parking is another great perk. The staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in and any requests a breeze. The only minor downside was some noise from nearby construction at night, but overall, the hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and highly comfortable. If you're visiting San Diego and want a stress-free, home-like stay with excellent value, this place is definitely worth considering.

The Inn at Sunset Cliffs

I booked this place as a birthday treat, and it was perfect—just a short walk from Sunset Cliffs. I called ahead to ask about early check-in, and the front desk staff was incredibly helpful and professional. They arranged for us to check in two hours early, even though housekeeping was still working on the room—great service!

The pool area and lounge furniture were a real highlight; we spent a good chunk of time just relaxing by the water, soaking in the ocean views. We also had dinner at the on-site restaurant, which offered stunning sea-facing seating—worth every penny. Parking was easy too: spots near the garage were first-come, first-serve, and if full, there’s plenty of street parking nearby.
