Top American Plaza Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Just an overall great experience"

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing stay! It was perfect. Right in downtown close to Coronado and other beaches. The amenities we excellent. Hydration stations, accessible ice machines, very elegant vibes, and the room itself was perfect. Lots of storage if you plan to stay for a few days. Plus there was a excellent restaurant downstairs that gives you a discount on your bill for being a guest at The Sophia. Parking was okay. Does add up if you do self parking there but plus side is you get in and out privileges. I will definitely be staying here again."

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent
