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.
