Bay Club Hotel & Marina
We stayed for two nights, a family of 8 with three rooms. The rooms were very spacious and the balconies are definitely a plus. Our only frustration was coin laundry facilities with no way to get change. As a family on a little road trip, laundry was a necessity but overall a nice stay.

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego
Air is broken, room too cold . Fan is loud and fan directly to your face. Lighting is way too dark in the room even all the light is on. They don’t give you enough shampoo.
