After my last stay in a Best Western PLUS, I was ready to kick the entire chain to the curb. However this hotel gets it right, and should be used as the standard for all Best Western PLUS hotels. For an older property I had zero complaints. Location was great. The renovated room was spotless. The bathroom was in perfect... More

A group of us flew down to San Diego to pick up a Coastal cruise. We chose the Best Western Plus Bayside Inn after reading the previous reviews. We certainly agree with all the comments so I have posted just to collaborate that you will not be disappointed in this hotel. Yes, the decor is very standart but it is... More

Very pleased with my recent stay at the Best Western Plus Bayside Inn in San Diego, CA. Beds, furnishings, bathroom, and 40" flat panel television all seemed to be recently updated. Comfortable bed and nice hot breakfast at the adjoining restaurant with large assortment of hot items. Minutes away from San Diego Harbor Bay attractions including cruise ship terminal, USS... More

You can't beat the location of this Best Western. Quick cab ride from the airport or from/to the cruise port. There is a shuttle service which we used from the hotel to the airport for a 7:30am departure. Shuttle arrived on-time and driver was super friendly and helpful even at that early hour. We did not use the shuttle from... More

Great location – close to Little Italy, Gaslamp and the pier. They have airport and cruise shuttle services, great for cruisers. Staffs at the Best Western were very friendly and helpful, we would not hesitate to recommend our family and friends to stay there while in San Diego. Good hot breakfast included - a bonus.

This was a terrific value since it includes a well-run hot breakfast buffet and quick pickup/dropoff at the airport or cruise terminal. We walked the few blocks down to board the sightseeing trolley (tickets available at the hotel's front desk or down on the waterfront at a booth) to have an overview of the city. Just across the street, Little... More

We stayed here for 5 days while exploring the area. Good location, walking distance to the waterfront attractions, Amtrack station and the city proper. It is more of a business hotel than a family-friendly hotel, rooms are clean and neat and just functional. The self-serve breakfast was typical business-like, with only a few hot choices, plus make your own toast,... More

We had a great bayview room on the 12th floor with 2 queen beds, coffee maker, frig and microwave. The hotel is easy walking distance to the Midway, Anthony's and Seaport Village. There's a sign up sheet at check-in for transportation to the cruise terminal. We signed up for the first shuttle van at 11:00 am, but could have waited... More

We stayed here for one night out of two in San Diego. We moved from The Wyndham Bayside as they were full that night and thank god they were! No comparison! This was a little piece of luxury opposite the Wyndham, and just as easy to access all the sights. The room was clean, modern, spacious and had a great... More
