Top California Tower Hotel Reviews

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice easy to get to port for cruise, good food"

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Misrepresentation the cost of of breakfast cost and parking. On Expedia they said breakfast was included and parking was $35. The breakfast was basic continental. With mediocre quality. The rooms were nice, I have no complaints. The staff were also excellent."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and up to date, staff were friendly and helpful, the balcony was needing some attention for paint, no outdoor furniture and noted the same issue to other balconies. The sliders did not close properly could be an issue for kids and the latch. Parking was included in the stay, but do not bring a large vehicle could prove an issue when parking in their underground spaces. Plenty of electrical outlets for ECars."
