Top Normal Heights Hotel Reviews

The Alcala Hotel Mission Valley/Seaworld

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing. Very attentive to our needs during our stay. The pool was clean and heated the jacuzzi was great, room was nice and clean and the breakfast was a plus. The only down fall was in the rooms it gets so muggy and humid. Also parking is 10 a night but is secure. Over all a great stay!"

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, bed & pillows were so comfortable. The front desk staff was helpful & I was quickly supplied with extra coffee & cups for my room. The view from balcony was magnificent. Onsite restaurant had fantastic breakfast. This was my second time staying here & next time I’m in San Diego I will definitely be booking a stay here again"

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room, central located to walking activities. It's nice to have a view of the bay but not nice to look onto the dirty roof tops of the buildings in front of us. That I do not know if they can do anything about. On a nicer note we spoke with a lovely lady about different eating places we could walk to, she even gave up a coupon to eat at a few that were in front of the hotel, down the water front."
