The Best Western Plus Bayside in San Diego is our first choice for stays when we are in town. The front desk staff at check in and check out were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, had a good view and included a mini fridge. The bedding was soft and the bath products were terrific. Parking on site was convenient and safe. The location of the property is just blocks away from many dining options in Little Italy.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience but I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The hot water was non-existent during the morning hours so lukewarm showers were an adjustment for us. Our room was situated on the 3rd floor which meant the only view we got, was of the parking lot. The room was very clean so that was a great plus. Also, the in-room thermostat with both heat and cool was amazing since we like to keep it cool while we sleep. We didn’t end up parking on-site, as we read ahead of time that the fee was $30/day and spots weren’t guaranteed. We ended up reserving a parking spot in a nearby garage from spot hero for a fraction of the price. The steakhouse next to it looked delish and I’m kinda bummed we didn’t get to try.

I was extremely unhappy with the hotel. The internet didn’t work, and I was there for work, so I couldn’t get my job done. I complained to the lobby, they connected me with the internet provider (FOX), but they couldn’t fix it. I had to walk across the street to Starbucks to get my work done. Additionally, the staff was not friendly. I would never stay at Best Western again. On top of that, Expedia caused me a lot of problems. There was a glitch in their system, showing three itineraries. How could I have three hotels at the same time, checking in and out simultaneously, half a mile apart? I got charged and had to call five or six times, yet my issue still isn’t resolved. I’ve sent five emails and received no resolution. I will report this to the BBB and leave a bad review if no one gets back to me.
