"Inn By the Sea was a nice surprise, and such a great hotel! Walking distance to the Cove where the sea lions are and close to many great restaurants, especially Spiro’s. Beds were comfortable, staff was great with us, including my very rambunctious little niece & nephew. There was a great little pool house with coffee, hot chocolate, a TV, and snack machine to relax in. Overall I loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again! "

"We very much enjoyed the location. Beautiful grounds and quiet. Room size was great with a comfortable bed. Found a bike rental place (third party) down at the dock. Fair price for a cruiser bike and we were able to store the bikes overnight at the front desk. Aside from the gentleman who checked us in (name?) the front desk staff we interacted with seemed too formal, almost unfriendly."

"Property was absolutely stunning. Nothing is really walking distance so prepare to Uber everywhere or pay $32 a night to park . The food at the steakhouse was ok kind of pricey but we only had breakfast, snacks are hiked up in princess orange juice was $6 for a personal bottle . Pool heater was out of order so pool was freezing. Rooms were clean "

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

5/5 Excellent

The nicest service, but noisiest stay ever.

"We were upgraded to a waterfront suite when I mentioned that my wonderful daughter with a high level of needs and autism could be enthusiastic and maybe a little loud for neighbors. I think they send a lot of the family over to the waterfront suites? This was a nice upgrade because it had a balcony view of the marina and I didn't mind that my daughter could be loud. Speaking of loud, it was not my daughter that was so loud. It was the sound of the traffic outside the door all night long. We could hear sirens and traffic and there was a wedding going on when we stayed there so we also got to hear the noise of the celebration. Thankfully I always pack ear plugs! They were kind enough to provide extra pillows. When I asked about room service they said they do not have it. This made me sad because mobility is limited with my daughter and we had to walk quite a distance to the lobby, most people would only find it to be about a 2-minute walk, but it took a while for us. When I ordered Uber Eats I was trying to get it delivered to the door and they delivered to the lobby. I called the lobby and explained that they do not offer room service and it would take us a while to get there and if they would hold on to it. And by the time I got my daughter's shoes on, there was a knock at my door delivering the food we ordered. That was really nice service and totally made our morning before SeaWorld that much better. The service at this hotel is wonderful. They are accommodating."
