Top Rancho San Diego Hotel Reviews

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in Seaport Village. Close to the sea taxi to Coronado, walking distance to Gas Lamp, the Midway, the baseball stadium…this hotel honestly could t get any better . It has been my go to San Diego hotel for 15 years (I go to SD once a year at least). If you want a hotel that is beautiful , clean, comfy, and worth your money it is this one! Staff is always so pleasant and will go out of their way to make your stay perfect! 5 stars isn’t enough, I would give 100 out of 5. The location is also very very safe. Even at night I walk around the area with no worries, and you do not see any of the homeless population. I would stay there alone as a female and not have a second thought .Thank you everyone who works there, don’t change anything!! Absolutely perfect!"

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"I arrived early to check in possibly at 3 PM. I did not get my room until 5 PM. There was no sense of urgency when I called to get my room serviced with towels and coffee. After my third day, I asked to have the sheets changed and it took four phone calls three to housekeeping and one to the front desk to finally get someone to come clean my room. A resort where I’m paying $700 a night. I had a great room with nice location on the Water side, but the Service needs some help."

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"For most part it was a great stay but the $70 daily parking fee in my opinion is unreasonable. The bathroom door doesn’t close completely. Very uncomfortable while I stayed there with my adult children. We needed to use the outside lobby restrooms. We needed to stay in the away from the bathroom area while someone was showering to provide them privacy."
