Beautiful rooftop, slow elevator so if you’re in shape take the stairs. Very friendly staff which remind you to “mask-up”! McDonald’s across the street so use the McDonald app to order coffee and food. Amazing donuts at the donut bar. Things to do: Old Town Trolley Tour ($37.00 - ask Worldmark concierge for discount tickets) spend most of the day getting off/on trolley seeing the town and eating at amazing restaurants. The great part is see everything around San Diego without driving! Go sailing. Rent some scooters called “Wheels” (they are the sit-down scooters).

The room was clean and spacious. It had all the modern amenities you would expect. The staff from the person who greeted us at our vehicle to the person that brought us extra towels were amazing. But what you really need to see is the Downtown San Diego skyline from the Roof Top Deck. We spent hours each night up there. Breathtaking and still private and relaxing.

WorldMark by Wyndham in the Southwest corner or Balboa Park in San Diego, California. Close to food, freeway, parks, and just minutes from all attractions. My stay was very comfortable!

Very nice Boutique Hotel close to downtown and Balboa Park. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.Small kitchen but more than adequate. My only complaint and it is a minor one is the TV and couch ate perpendicular to one another making it a strain to watch. Not a big deal since we were out and about most of the time.This was formerly the Riviera Apartments and in parts if the building you can still see some of the original structure and accessories. Very nice.

A perfect place for any vacationer. Valet parking, friendly staff, great view at the roof, close to the Gaslamp District, and the ocean is right down the road! Great attractions surrounding this location, and the rooms themselves...theyve definitely made a huge upgrade. Great job!

Okay... If you are a World Mark owner you have likely stayed in some nice places as many of their resorts are (Oceanside is amazing by the way and the best one is in Cabo San Lucas!) But this one is definitely one to avoid . I read reviews before I booked it so I knew a little of what to expect ..there were a lot of complaints about noise (there are even complimentary earplugs in the rooms if thats any indication) but we didnt experience any real noise issues. The freeway ramp is right there but its not a big noise producer. The valet parking is a huge issue at like $30 a day its also a rip off.. and,of course they say they can help with that expense which is code for sit thru a presentation and we waive it. My husband got up early the next morning, was put in an Uber to go to this presentation only to be turned away because I was not there ..the staff did not tell us that both of us had to attend and in fact Nayelis words to me were anyone CAN attend (as she saw we were traveling with two teenagers ) . So he came back and told me & said they wont waive the valet fee.. and I attempted to correct this by talking to Nayelli who was conveniently off the rest of our stay until the day we checked out . The manager, Lillie was also not there and I was told she would call me... We have been home for a couple of weeks now and I still havent received a call... shocking . As we were checking out, luggage rack full and at the desk the sweet girl helping us started to charge for the valet and I have her a quick review of what had happened- she wasnt authorized to reverse the charges which I understand and didnt fault her for .. magically Nayelli finally appeared and do you knoe what her suggestion was ? Theres another seminar in half an hour I can sign you up for.. I literally looked her in the eye and told her she had to be kidding as we are literally leaving for a 10 hour drive back home so no way that is happening .. The facility itself is okay but far from the standard Wyndham that we have experienced and we have stayed in many. The rooms do not have an oven so plan accordingly if you grocery shop and cook for yourself ..the rooftop terrace is nice and has a good bbq and good views .. if you or someone you are with really likes to see airplanes fly fairly close overhead definitely go up to the terrace - we watched a few little kids get really excited watching the planes go by. There isnt a pool which seems like a major negative in this day and age. There is a small game room and a small gym. Balboa Park is close which is a plus. Lots to do there . Overall I would never recommend this Wyndham to anyone . Apparently there is another one not far that is probably great.

Downtown San Diego, a older style hotel but comfortable (be prepared to pay a $30.00 valet parking fee) or find a parking spot on the street... Good luck with that one! The setting on the roof top is gorgeous and worth the price of admission alone

As a member of Worldmark/Wyndham I greet to stay here a lot, we do love San Diego and being able to be close to downtown is a plus. The rooms are nice and they do a great job of keeping the area clean. Downsides? Parking, walls are thin and so very noisy.

This is a beautiful historic building however Im curious what makes it a resort? There isnt a spa, pool,or entertainment of any kind just a polished old building. Some of the staff are really friendly! Our room was not the cleanest. Also one elevator and a bunch of check in, check out, daily so plan on using the stairs. Additional daily parking fees as well.

The rooftop patio really was my favorite part of this place. It was 24 hour access and I could vape up there. I was on the 5th floor next to the stairwell to the roof so it was easy to get there from my room.The room we stayed in was cool. We had 3 people in the room and it was comfortable enough. The fold out bed looked super uncomfortable but I didnt sleep in it. Our other party member did and complained about it... but oh we. The drapes kept the room dark all day if we wanted. The TV had very few channels of interest which was disappointing but we were so dead when we would get home I guess it didnt matter too much. The hotel informed us we could get free rides in a golf cart but after the first ride we were unable get the hotel to secure us another ride. We just walked or would lyft. Overall it was a decent experience. Great location.

A timeshare that is a 5-10 minute walk to Balboa Park and the San Diego zoo. Grocery store or any kind of store is a good 10 minute walk away. A lot of homeless around. City college/a highschool are right across the street on Park. Lyft or Uber are great resources here.

The property is great; however, the windows and walls are too thin and much noise seeps in. The terrace has a great view of downtown and the Coronado bridge. The only guaranteed parking is valet. Street parking and private for pay parking are available. It is within walking distance to Balboa Park. Be prepared to be invited to their ownership presentation of about 2 hours. In exchange for your attendance, they give you gift cards and other gifts. The presentation is quite educational. All in all, we had fun and it was a pleasant stay.

Awesome site with old-school cool vibes since the building was built in the 1920s. If your looking for easy access to Balboa Park come no further. Very cool patio in the roof gives great city views and of Coronado bridge. Get some steaks and fresh salmon and grill yourself an awesome rooftop dinner.

Great location! Stayed here one night before leaving on a cruise and it was a super easy location to find. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. They always want you to go to a timeshare presentation the next day but we were headed out. Wouldnt hesitate to stay here again given the option. Location is great though because you dont have to deal with downtown traffic off the freeway. Easy off and easy on. Parking is VERY minimal and costs extra. Street parking is sketchy too as just south of here we found some questionable sidewalk extended stay residents.

As a city location this WM was a little more upscale in the rooms than the more mountainous and beach WMs Ive stayed at, so that was nice.The chocolate chip cookies in the morning were also an appreciated bonus.Admittedly the surrounding area isnt very nice, but thats more of a San Diego homelessness problem than the WMs fault. I never felt at risk or in danger, but if I had any younger daughters, I wouldnt want them walking home alone to this place after a night out on the town.With that said, getting Ubers and bikes/scooters was always super easy. So overall a good stay.(I never visited the balcony area up top but based on the photos it looks like it has a great view).

Review №43

Room was fantastic and staff at location was great. Room was quiet and clean. Free laundry and small kitchen was amazing. Parking at this location is an issue. It cost quite a bit to have the valet parking and valet parking is the only thing available. Do not do the presentation to save on parking. We were promised 1 hour but of course it was 2 hours and 15 minutes and the main manager for the sales presentation was extremely demeaning and rude. I think his name was Chas and bald. Not a good salesmen at all. Made us feel pretty stupid for turning down his offer. One of the worst experiences so far.

Id put my review at a 3.5 if I could, but definitely not a 4.PROS:-Location and proximity to downtown and the zoo. Many places downtown are walk-able or an easy Uber or bike/scooter ride away.-Rooms and Lobby are of decent quality and are fairly comfortable.-Hotel is clean-Friendly staff-Rooftop deck.CONS:-The hotel is located on a fairly busy street, and the first level of rooms are on the street level looking directly out at the sidewalk. Its not terribly quiet either.-The timeshare pitch from staff is unbearable. Theyll try and bribe you with free zoo tickets or something else to get you to go to a seminar.

Really enjoyed it. Thought the room was very nice and updated. Free laundry room in the building, coffee and pastries in the morning. It was close to Balboa Park and not far from Gaslamp. Im not sure I would give the area a 10, but its closeness to the aforementioned places is a definite positive.

Location and terrace are the only best things here. Parking costs $30 per day, no breakfast available, no housekeeping (they only pick your garbage bag once a day). Carpet, sofa covers were so durty. Elevator was dated and runs very slow. No free wifi. Paid wifi was available but provided by some outside company and hotel staff had no idea about the speed of that wifi.

Although parking here is not to my liking I still say this is 5 stars because the location is unbeatable. Right off the 163, close to Balboa Park and downtown. Its a short drive to La Jolla or any of the beaches. Even close to Hillcrest and a quick shot to Tio Leos on Mission Gorge, my favorite sit down Mexican food place in SD. Been here before and probably returning in the future.

I am a worldmark owner. While I like the place. I like the location. I dont like that they dont give the handicap free parking anymore. I also dont like the elevator. Every time it came up - it was not only noisy but actually vibrated the room and bed, waking us up EVERY SINGLE TIME like an earthquake! You dont get much here and now I remember why we dont stay at ANY worldmark properties in SAN DIEGO.

Clean comfortable property at South end of Balboa Park. Block and a half from Trolley line which was great. Walkable to Gaslamp and Harbor/Seaport. Rooftop deck is nice. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Be prepared for timeshare pitches if you don’t own there. Only complaint is 30 per day parking but can avoid if you can find off street parking after 4pm weekdays.

We love this hotel. The location is perfect. It is next to Balboa Park, the gaslamp district, and the entrance to I-5. The hotel is old but has been renovated and is very nice. If you are a light sleeper, the traffic noise might keep you up, but we slept great! The kitchenette is all we need. There is a really nice roof top area with grills, tables and chairs, a great view of downtown.

Review №58

The location is not the best, its surrounded by homeless people, and they do not offer free parking, you have to pay $30 per night which is ridiculous. Your only other option is to park on the street and pay the meter, and make sure you read the signs or youll get a ticket. The other thing I do not like is that they will offer to help pay for your parking only if you go to a seminar, um no thanks! Im here to try and enjoy my vacation not to be bothered by staff to buy more credits! Anyway the rooms are nice thats the only thing I really liked. Would I come back here again, No!

Review №60

We were highly disappointed with our stay at this property. It is not a hotel it is a time share facility and during our stay we were prayed on and coersed into attending a 90min (minimum but could be up to 2 hrs) presentation. The presentation was like being spoken to like a 5 year old and the promised free breakfast was terrible. No one once explained to us that we were attending a time share property or that they would try and sell to us. We were left feeling utterly scammed and taken advantage of. For a 2 night stay, it totally ruined our experience. The facilities themselves at the accomadation is vast but that is because it is not a hotel! It is a time share unit. Parking at the place is a whooping $30 a night! San Diego is nice but dont stay here youll get conned and will have to deal with alot of unpleasantness. Tucker at the concierge desk is a villain! Please please avoid!

Review №61

This property is a timeshare!!!They charge $30 per night for parking aka more than the rental car costs per day BUT if you attend their timeshare presentation they’ll let you park free for 3 nights but wait, my managers not here so I’ll let you park for all 4 nights. Then you get to your room and they charge you for WiFi too! Very frustrating being nickeled and dimed after paying $170+ per night. We did not attend a timeshare meeting and successfully found steeet parking but it comes with lots of restrictions - no more than 2 hours between 8-6p and no parking M/W/F from 3-6a for street cleaning. The hotel was fine and room was nice. Elevator is scary and has a sign in it about how old it is and to be nice to it...

Review №62

The room was absolutely amazing. And the customer service was fantastic. My only issue was that the parking was valet only and $30 a night. I feel like that should have been just a bit more obvious before booking. I knew I would need to pay for parking, but maybe I am just inexperienced in parking pricing.

TIME SHARE SCAM - AVOID. DO NOT STAY HERE.Basically, this place prays on vulnerable tourists with an immoral scam and they will try to exploit you. Wall of text but read on if you wish to avoid this happening to you.The hotel is pretty nice. You get a large room and the receptionist was very welcoming. Its a very cool place too. Nice rooftop level and a very cool decor. However, as soon as you check in, thats when the scam kicks in. The concierge will approach you and ask you to sit down. You then get a little info about the area and they offer you free gifts!Too good to be true? Yes.Tucker greeted us. A great manipulator. The parking here is outrageous so he offered us three gifts. One was valet parking. A saving of 30 dollars a day. Brilliant. Then he offered a free evening meal. Amazing! Finally we also get a free breakfast, which is fine but has been standard so far. At no point has he mentioned the words Time share. All we had to do was get a free uber to their sister hotel the following morning at which we could learn further about the hotels history. This is where they also give you your gifts.The next morning, it happened. We wake up hungry, wait for the uber and get to the hotel. This is where they have you. You now cant leave. Suave, well dressed charlatans are about to brain wash you into wasting your money. The provided breakfast was disgusting. They ask you to eat from your lap while they begin the whole manipulative scam. It was like being in primary school. This is when they reveal that you cannot leave until you have sat through at least NINETY MINUTES of sales speak.I left early but not without complaining. If you get this far, you should too. These people are the lowest of the low, praying on the vulnerable. They look for weakness and they attack. This is not how a hotel should operate. This is disgusting. The marketing manager Anna was a rude and deluded person who believed that was she was doing was right. Its anything but. She tried to get us to stay longer but I had no trust in her or her company at all.Eventually she honoured the free parking and let me leave, but acted like my attitude had meant I couldnt have the evening meal. I dont want your food. I do not trust anything related to your business. You are the lowest of the low and you know that what you are doing is wrong, purely for personal gain and profit. This applies to the entire company.Do not stay at this hotel. Its all a facade for a lowly scam.Do not stay here ever.TL;DR THEY WILL TRY TO EXPLOIT YOU.

Review №67

The location was awful. It is right where two highways meet so there was non-stop traffic noise. You cannot walk to any food other than McDonalds. There is a homeless encampment in a vacant lot across the street. The room itself was fine but the hotel is not properly managed. The gym was terrible— one machine and not a single free weight. The rooftop patio was overrun by bad kids running around on the roof, causing a huge commotion; one woman came to talk to the kids’ father and the kid literally punched her. Hotel staff should have intervened and handled the situation but did not. This place is not worth the money.

I have been coming to this WorldMark location since I was a kid. Its extremely close to everything downtown and has great rooms.

Review №71

This was a last minute booking for my family of four for a weekend trip to San Diego. The rooftop of this property is definitely its best aspect. The room itself was nice, clean, and had everything we needed in the kitchen in terms of dishware & pots/pans. Very close to Balboa Park and very short drive to places you want to go in the city; didnt feel comfortable walking around the area to be honest. Negatives include that 1) you need to pay $5 per day (which only covers 2 devices) for wifi (its 2018 and for this price of staying here it really should be included), 2) parking is valet only and costs $30 - during more than one occasional it would have been much similar for us to just go to our car instead of waiting for the parking attendant. On one occasion he was inside chatting with another staff member and we needed to go find him after waiting directly outside for 5 minutes, the parking lot is right there and we could have walked to the car and left without irritation in the same amount of time. But, we opted to park on site because the area directly around the property is a bit sketchy. And 3) lots of street traffic you can hear at night, so if youre not used to sleeping in a city environment be aware. Read reviews about how pushy the staff were about timeshare marketing, but we were generally about to avoid this. Staff was overall friendly.

We landed at this place due to Windham overbooking another location so i hesitate to take away from Worldmark but in the 2 days and nights we stayed here all they did was empty our garbage, no clean linens, no clean shower towels, no restcking the complimentary coffee. I could go on but 2 stars is generous and Windham should be knocked down in scale for the way they didnt seem to care about their horrible service given.

The hotel was nice, and service was very friendly. We did not know this was a time share hotel when we booked. Staff seemed a bit put out or not prepared that we were there as hotel guests and not time share owners. No pressure to sign up tho, which we appreciated. Nice rooms, large and roomy. Sweet view out my side window into Balboa Park. Coffee shops and restaurants were a good hike away. No complaints and we would have stayed an extra two nights except the front desk couldnt book us in (due to it being a time share place) so booked into a different hotel 10 mins away.

Great 7 night stay while visiting the City. No frills! Exactly what we wanted! Reasonable price for a reasonable room. Our Studio was perfect size for 2 adults! Shower/Bathtub and toilet in a separate room with privacy full door but no exhaust fan or window. Water pressure out of the shower was only meh. Shower head was only standard. Bed was very comfy. TV was terrific. Kitchen space was terrific, provided us with great function, great storage too. The fridge was full size and the dishwasher was too! Both amenities got WOW ratings from me. A special amenity were the 2 double hung windows. They might have been old, original models, but they could be opened to let fresh air in! I loved, loved, loved sleeping with fresh air! Yes, there was traffic noise below! I accepted this trade off gladly! This Hotel participates in a FREE RIDE amenity, which we took great advantage off. Be certain to ask about it. This Hotel offers valet parking for $30.00 a day which is the going rate for hotels in the area and is a great convenience with unlimited ins and outs. We took full advantage of this amenity. This Hotel is associated with Wyndham somehow, so expect to be offered a few perks when you check in. I will stay here again. I liked the place and the staff were friendly and accommodating but the BIG plus about this hotel is its location within minutes of the I-5 ! Thanks for listening!

First time staying with WorldMark. It was a gift from my father for our honeymoon. The rooms themselves feel newer and updated. Love the kitchenette; made cooking dinner in a breeze. Immediately blocks are not the greatest area, but its less than half a mile to Gaslamp and Balboa Park so location didnt bother us. Docked a star for two reasons. $30/day for valet parking, which is just an uncovered parking lot in front of the hotel. And two because they continue to call/leave invites to attend their timeshare pitch. Overall, would probably return again at right price.

I think that WorldMark is a place that is more well suited for a solo traveler. I was barely there, and felt that the experience was pretty much adequate. No one went above and beyond or anything but thats because its straight forward, I suppose. 4* because I feel 5*s is reserved for outstanding memorable experiences. Tho, I didnt have a bad one.

Very nice hotel, offering suites with kitchenettes. Located at the Gas Lamp district, which is also close to the San Diego Zoo.

Located in downtown San Diego. Very close to the Zoo & Balboa park, the airport is also a very short Uber drive. They have what is called The Free Ride you download the app request a ride in the downtown area all for FREE!! This was a double bonus. The hotel is nice an very clean if you have children there is no pool so you will need to hit up the beach.
