San Diego was my 3rd stop on my USA trip in September 2011. We flew in from San Francisco on an early flight, and arrived at the hotel via taxi at around 9am. We were able to leave our luggage in a storage cupboard, so we could go out for the day and return later to check in. I believe we arrived on Labor Day, so San Diego in itself was very quiet.
We spent the day at Seaworld, which was really easy to get to from the Bayside Inn (take the trolley from the Santa Fe Depot to Old Town and then take a bus right to the gates).
Our room was on the 11th floor and it had a great view out to the ocean. Facilities in the room were all adequate. Comfy bed, good working shower, tv with variety of channels, free wifi and working safe. My only issue with the room was at night, the trains were very loud. But you'd have this problem at any hotel in this area.
Free breakfast was included, but it wasn't anything fantastic. Good if you are a budget traveller though.
Upon checking out of the hotel, we used the free shuttle to take us and our suitcases to the Santa Fe Depot. The driver was very friendly and helpful.
Overall, we had a good stay at this hotel, however I think if I was to return to San Diego, I would stay elsewhere as the area was not as I expected.
