Top Cardiff-by-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"One night was not enough. Although the room was small for our family of four it was more than enough and nice. The bar and restaurant were very tasty and happy hour was great. We were there in the middle of summer ending so the pool was adequate but I’m sure in high season it will feel cramped. Location, service, views, we will be back."

Heritage Inn San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Bathroom could’ve used more attention. Shower and sink weren’t all sanitary"

Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, amazing, wonderful"

Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

8/10 Good

"My room was very clean and most comfortable. The bed, bedding and pillows were excellent and AC worked very well. I used the coffee machine in the room and in the lobby and coffee in the lobby was much better tasting. I did not use the tv. There could be more lighting in the vanity area and the shower head felt low for my height. The parking lot is small and a bit challenging to navigate with a larger vehicle and access from Midway was blocked off. The cleaning staff were very kind and helpful. Front desk staff I encountered were occupied with other tasks and less friendly."

San Diego Marriott La Jolla

8/10 Good

"Clean room, decent buffet breakfast, excellent location. The hotel did not provide complimentary water bottles even though I am a Bonvoy Silver member. The front office (check in) staff was condescending."

Bahia Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location. Rooms need updated but clean. Love the views and the sea lions!"

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The building itself is old, but the room was well maintained with up to date furnishings. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The pool and spa areas were beautiful with a lot of trees, plants, grass and an overall elevated vibe in this part of the property."
