Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent
"The wellness schedule was nice for opportunities to get in morning yoga. Room was overall clean; it lacked additional towel and toilet paper for the extended stay booked, but staff was nice and able to bring that to our room. The packaged ice was a nice touch and made it easier to bring back to room for use. Such a nice location for access to little Italy and the harbor to check out the many restaurants that the area has to offer."
