Nice city to visit in September.
Pros:

First time visiting San Diego for a getaway trip on our Anniversary week. Enjoyed our stay and the weather turned out very good. Older brick building that used to be an apartment complex. Very nice rooms w/ full kitchen and in great condition. We only spent two nights here, since we were on our way up the coast on our trip. Lots of things to do near the hotel.Ask about the city trolley tours.Enjoyed the on and off tour of old San Diego and waterfront.

Pros:

The property was lovely and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The location of the property was also good, close to most attractions.
Unfortunately, around the property there were too many homeless people, leaving us slightly uncomfortable when walking in the evenings.

Good prices and centrally located
Pros:

The hotel was centrally located, close to many restaurants. Within walkable distance to downtown and Petco park, the bay, USS Midway Museum and Balboa Park. Room was very spacious, it included a kitchen and full size fridge, dishes, pots and pans, silverware and even dish soap and a sponge. The only negatives I found were lack of parking space (had to park off street and there was barely any spaces available). I had to park a block away and pay $8 for every 12 hours of parking. They also didn't have a pool nor did they offer breakfast. The rooftop terrace had an amazing view and they even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine (we were there on our honeymoon).

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

Overall it was very nice accomodations in every aspect. The only complaint was having only one elevator available in each of the two elevators banks it took to get to our room.

Very clean and nice hotel. But about 3-4 blocks closer to downtown and the area around it would have been significantly nicer

Pros:

We had to book our stay in a rush as we had been scammed on an apartment down the road booked through a different company (not Hotels.Com)
The booking was made and reservation confirmed online and we arrived at the Worldmark 20mins later.
Firstly as we arrived we discovered although they have a car park it costs $25 a night and its valet parking only.. you have no choice in this apart from parking on the street.. dont do this.. unfortunately the area as alot of homeless and undesirable sketchy people in it.. I just wish the property/Hotels.com would make the parking charge clear in the listing.
Secondly when checking in it took way to long.. nearly 30mins because the reservation wasnt showing and they had to phone a 3rd party to get the imformation.. they gave the wrong details to the desk staff even though all info and check in/out dates were clearly on my phone.. it wasnt good.. we had already had a stressful day.. incurred $75 of additional unexpected costs on top off the not inexpensive cost of the hotel.. Please get together and sort it out.. be more transparent online about your costs.
The good stuff... the staff are really nice and helpful.. the hotel is not much to look at outside but really nice inside.. our suite was very clean.. spacious and well equipt.. it did suffer abit with outside noise at night.. they have a really nice rooftop terrace we used all 3 nights to relax and have a drink.
Nice hotel.. sketchy neighbourhood.

Pros:

No restaurant, no maid service, $25.00/day parking. Not a hotel but a Wyndham time share. Very disappointed in hotels.com.

NOT A PLACE FOR AN INTROVERT
Pros:

After you get checked in youll get passed to another station/person asking what your plans are and how they can help etc, its a timeshare property so im sure you can fill in the blanks of what thats like. We got to the room and discovered they gave us a queen/full size bed instead of the king I had reserved, it was annoying but not worth the hassle of following up as we didnt have an extra 20 mins to deal with it and needed to get over to sea world. They have 1 elevator for the whole place so if youre pressed for time be prepared to use the stairs

Pros:

The hotel had an old world charm, very 1920's Art Deco style. However the rooms were modern with lots of amenities, like a full kitchen in the standard studio room. Also a sofa/bed. The room on the 4th floor was quiet although there was considerable traffic in the area. There was a large rooftop space with great views of San Diego. You could also grill or barbecue. Overall, a wonderful experience staying in this hotel that I highly recommend. Sorry, no pool but it does have a small fitness center.

Pros:

This hotel had the most beautiful rooftop patio with bbq's, a sink area, loungers, tables and umbrellas, beautiful plants and cute lights at night. It was a 15-20min walk to the waterfront and about a 10min walk to 5th Avenue where there were tons of places to eat. Staff went above and beyond being friendly and efficient and helpful. I would definitely come back again!

Pros:

Worst hotel experience of my life. Horrible location, very unsafe for women to walk at night. Constantly harassed by the concierge to attend their scam timeshare presentation, then ROBBED by the cleaning staff for my jewelry (hotel does not provide safes). Missed my flight and had to stay in San Diego an extra night to file the police report and talk to hotel management about the theft, staff promised me I would be reimbursed. Claim filed through hotels insurance, but because the staff denied the theft I am left screwed. Will never EVER stay at a worldmark / Wyndham again. Never had a worse experience at a hotel. Never experienced such unhelpful staff.

Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It is right next to the airport so you do hear planes flying around and because it is the city you will see a lot of homeless. Room was very spacious and great for a long term stay.
