The hotel

You’ll be spoilt for choice for things to do at San Diego Mission Bay Resort. Spread over 18 waterfront acres, you can enjoy spa treatments, play tennis or go sailing, take dips in the pool and strolls along the sandy beachfront. Choose to eat on the waterfront looking out across Mission Bay, enjoy drinks around an outdoor fire pit or hide away with a fresh pastry and a Zoka coffee in the café. Kids will love it at this retreat too — there’s a seasonal Kids Kamp, beach games and bike rentals, as well as dive-in films by the pool and s'mores by the bayside fire pits.

Attending a 3-day business conference at the Mission Bay Resort left one impression on my mind... I want to come back here when it is a personal get-a-way. Excellent service, food, staff and facilities are only part of that decision. The atmosphere, location and point of departure for a fun time in San Diego is the key - see you soon Mission Bay!

This hotel is lovely. Everything was clean, staff was very pleasant. The location is everything. It has a beautiful lake view and walking areas. We were minutes from everywhere. I would definitely stay here again, especially if they upgrade the mattresses.

We stayed in a suite with the fire pit outside. It was extremely cold so we didn't light the complimentary wood that was give to us. Next time. Our room was facing the grassy area and the bay. It was a very nice view. The room was clean and well stocked. The bed was comfortable, but it did not have a comforter. We called housekeeping and they immediate sent two warm blankets. Since we were on the bottom floor, we thought that we would hear stomping upstairs, but we didn't. It was quite. We sleep well and woke up to a beautiful sunrise. I know there are negative reviews about this hotel, but I would encourage you to try it for yourself. Read less

I loved this hotel. It was very nice and clean and the people that worked there were really nice and professional. I had no issues what so ever with the room or the staff. I would totally stay here again and recommend others to do the same.

Great location if you're looking for time in SD, but being able to wind down in a more quiet and calm location. A little away from Gaslamp, but felt nice for people who like to go down for fun, but also come back to a quiet and safe area
