Great Place to stay

Our experience was very good with the hotel and staff. Front desk was very friendly. Our room was clean however the heating probably needs to be looked at. It did not seem to adjust to the control on the wall and the room seemed kind of cold even when set on 82. Overall great value with our additional discounts and a great location.

I found the staff to be very helpful and pleasant. Parking allowances for extended fishing trips and access to various eateries, docks/fishing fleets, makes the Yacht Harbor Hotel a perfect place for me to start and end my trips. The mornings breakfast bar is a real plus.

Great dining

Love the location and friendliness of the staff except night staff not too responsive. They say they have incidentals if you forgot them, but he acted like he didn't know that, took a long time to find a tube of toothpaste and said he would have to send someone up with a razor (at 11 pm at night) NO THANK you. Other than that, good.

Great for my business stay!

Very functional rooms, clean, excellent housekeeping service----they cleaned what I wanted cleaned and left my personal belongings alone. They even added an extra blanket on the bed when the temperatures got unusually cold at night. The breakfast was GREAT and I loved having hot chocolate available at the coffee bar 24 hours a day. The location is central to everything in San Diego and only minutes from the airport. I will definitely stay there when I return to San Diego!

The Mormon Battalion Visitors Center in Old San Diego was wonderful! Harry Potter like video portraits teach history from the perspective of those who were there. Kids can pan for gold, receive a complimentary picture of them as honorary Battalion members, and climb the tower for breathtaking views of the city! All for no charge! The guides at the center are wonderful! This is not to be missed!

Easy Escape in a Great Location

We spent our first and last nights in San Diego at this hotel because it offered a relaxing setting with easy access to/from the airport. We had a conference in town at a much more expensive hotel, but our beds were just as comfortable and the bathroom was bigger at Best Western! The shuttle driver was fantastic, offering suggestions of several good places to eat within walking distance. We went to both of his recommendations twice! Everyone there was kind, the location was great right across the street from the marina, and we'll try to stay there again!

Miguel's is great for Mexican food and margaritas. Great service, too. Jimmy's diagonally across the street is a casual place with reasonably priced food and a great Sunday brunch with mimosas!

convenient

This hotel was close to everything we were doing in San Diego-Balboa Park, downtown, and up the coast to the beaches. We had an early flight out on Sunday, and had a quick trip back with the rental car, and went off to the airport. The rooms were clean, the staff was great,, the breakfast was fine-I would have appreciated more fresh fruit, but many people enjoyed the waffle maker. The only down side might be that the hotel was on a busy street, but it did not disturb our sleep.There was covered parking that was so convenient, and a nice pool.
