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

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.

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
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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Big room, close to Balboa park, lovely staff. Some usual hotel amenities were not provided, for example there was no lotion in the bathroom and only a shampoo/conditioner combo was provided.

The room was a bit dated and although the property is supposed to be non-smoking, the room had the lingering smell of smoke. I had an allergic reaction that lasted my entire stay and the only thing I can think of was the "left over" smoke. It would improve during the day when out of the room, then flare up within minutes of re-entering the room.
Listing says there is wifi, so I assumed it was free. It was not.
