Bay Club Hotel & Marina

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent
"Location, location and location. For us the location was great. We were a few miles from the San Diego Airport. About 7 minute ride from the airport to the hotel. Lots of restaurants in the area and the view off our balcony amazing. The staff, from check-in to restaurant staff were outstanding. A friend picked us up for a day outing and was blown away by our location. She was genuinely more excited than we were…and she lived in SD for 30+ years. The Bay Club and Marina showed signs of aging. With that said we’d recommend the hotel and, should we revisit SD again we’d definitely stay there."
