Top American Plaza Hotel Reviews

The Guild Hotel, San Diego Downtown, a Marriott Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was great the only problem is the parking."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

10/10 Excellent

"I mean it's the OMNI! Everything was perfect here. The staff, the hotel, the room and view, the stay, the connecting bridge to the Petco Park. The valet was an easy drive up process and the bellhop/porter was extremely kind and helpful, emptied out our luggage from the vehicle. The check in process was simple and quick. The staff was so friendly to my dog and even provided him with a treat. Every time we came down, every staff member gave him compliments. The water bottles were free and provided at anytime of being requested. We stayed two nights and both nights the housekeeping was very pleasant and even though I had my dog, a medium size frenchie, the housekeeper was willing to come in and change our towels and make the bed. She was very kind. The hotel surrounding area felt safe and the noise wasn't an issue being on the 11th floor. The view was gorgeous! Walking the dog around the area and finding a dog walk area was simple, next to the Gaslamp Quarter sign and coffee as well. I didn't try the food at the hotel."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Housekeeping and front desk check-in crew were both excellent. The rooms were very clean and the pool was well maintained. Only minor drawbacks were some clear rusting around the shower and a poorly designed sink. These are extremely minor in comparison to the excellent service and great location of this hotel."
