The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Bayside Inn

Skyline Views and Comfort Steps from the Action

Modern and welcoming, Best Western Plus Bayside Inn offers a relaxed stay just outside downtown San Diego. With skyline views from private balconies, free Wi-Fi, and thoughtful in-room perks like microwaves and fridges, this hotel strikes the perfect balance between comfort and city access. You're less than a mile from the nightlife of the Gaslamp Quarter and only a short walk to Little Italy’s buzzing restaurants and bars.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 1 mile from San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, this hotel is close enough to walk to some of the city’s biggest music venues, yet far enough to enjoy a quiet night’s sleep. The complimentary grab-and-go breakfast is a lifesaver after a late-night encore, and the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze. With quick access to public transit and a short ride from the airport, you’ll never miss a beat.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to split a room and explore the city
Solo travelers heading to a bucket-list show
Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert
Fans who want a quieter spot to unwind post-show
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, you’re only five minutes’ walk from Little Italy, packed with eateries that keep the kitchen open late. The hotel offers a daily grab-and-go breakfast, perfect for those slow concert mornings, and in-room features like a microwave and fridge make snacking easy at any hour.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more of a peaceful hideaway, but you’re less than a mile from buzzing nightlife in the Gaslamp Quarter. From rooftop bars and live music venues to cozy lounges serving local craft drinks, the afterparty is just a short walk or quick ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the city views from the balconies and how clean and spacious the rooms are. Many mention the friendly staff and appreciate the central location that’s still quiet at night. The free breakfast and easy airport access also get regular shout-outs.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers noted the décor feels a bit dated in places, and while the breakfast is convenient, it’s more functional than fancy. If you're looking for a hotel with a buzzing bar scene or on-site restaurant, you’ll need to head out to nearby spots.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, skyline views, and quiet comfort, Best Western Plus Bayside Inn is a smart and stress-free base for any San Diego concert night.

Disappointing and overpriced stay even...

Liked: The room was confortable and quite large. We appreciated the large shower in the room. Convenient parking lot with easy access. The hotel is a 15-min walk from the waterfront (the Maritime Museum is the nearest) and close by Little Italy with great restaurants.
Disliked: The personal at the hotel was not very friendly nor welcoming. What we really did not appreciate was that we had to leave our luggage in the storage room at check-in as we arrived a bit early; the room was supposed to be closed and secure. However when we came back, there was nobody at the front desk and the storage room was wide open with our luggage. Anybody could have come in and took them - especially when another morning, a homeless person walked in the hotel lobby and still no one at the front desk... The breakfast is a grab and go option only. The coffee machine in the lobby was broken. finally, the room was supposed to come with a balcony however not only was it a very small balcony but we could not access it since we were on the 9th floor. All in all, we expected better especially for that price.

Superb

Liked: Room was spacious and comfortable and good location. Walking distance to San Diego waterfront and Little Italy so lots of restaurant choices.The grab and go breakfast was a bonus, had expected to only get coffee
Disliked: Coffee machine in reception broke down on day 2 and wasn't fixed by the time we left on day 4. At least there was a coffee machine in the room $25 dollars,was deducted from my credit card on arrival on 18th May and as of 6th June this still hasn't been credited back

Great San Diego City Centre...

Liked: Four night city stay at end of a road trip with my son, central location allowed great access to San Diego, immediately close to Little Italy, bars and restaurants, and a 3 minute walk to the waterfront.
