The Best Western Plus Bayside in San Diego is our first choice for stays when we are in town. The front desk staff at check in and check out were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, had a good view and included a mini fridge. The bedding was soft and the bath products were terrific. Parking on site was convenient and safe. The location of the property is just blocks away from many dining options in Little Italy.
