Best Hyatt Hotels Corporation in San Diego

This Hyatt property, located on the San Diego Bay, sits within walking distance of the Gaslamp Quarter and gets kudos from guests for its two rooftop pools and picturesque views. Each one of the Manchester Grand Hyatt's 1,628 guest rooms boasts large windows that open to let in the sea breeze, as well as high-speed internet access, an iHome alarm clock and a flat-screen TV. Recent guests loved the spacious digs and praised the spectacular views, although some mentioned a few customer service snafus. The Manchester Grand Hyatt also encourages visitors to take advantage of the 24-hour fitness center and the in-house Marilyn Monroe Spa. And when dinnertime rolls around, the hotel houses several restaurants and lounges to choose from, including a top-floor bar that serves up cocktails and superb views of Coronado Island. And because of its brand ties, this hotel participates in the World of Hyatt loyalty program.

This Gaslamp Quarter hotel gets praise for its trendy ambiance – guest rooms and common areas feature stylized furnishings and contemporary artwork, and the general atmosphere of the hotel says "swanky." With that said, some recent travelers say the Andaz San Diego is more about partying than about relaxing. Guests warn against a weekend stay – Thursday through Saturday evenings, the Andaz's lounge, the Rooftop by STK, is swallowed by loud music and mingling social butterflies, and the neighborhood is fairly noisy. But during the rest of the week, travelers say a stay here isn't half bad. The comfortable guest rooms contain complimentary snacks and cable TV (plus earplugs for those sensitive to noise), and the on-site pool earns high praise. What's more, because of the hotel's Hyatt ties, rewards program members can earn or use points while bedding down at this Andaz property.

The Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine offers visitors a convenient home base near the beaches of La Jolla and away (but not too far) from the hustle and bustle of downtown San Diego. Many visitors agree that it has a great location, though there are some that say the hotel itself falls a little short in terms of atmosphere. Some travelers complain that the rooms leave much to be desired, even though each accommodation does come with trendy blue and gray decor, high-speed internet and flat-screen TVs. Other visitors mentioned that the customer service staff members weren't always at their best. Still, there are perks to staying here besides location, including access to the hotel's pool and fitness center, as well the in-house sushi restaurant, Cafe Japengo. What's more, if you're a member of the brand's loyalty program, you can earn or redeem points for choosing to bed down here.

The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina offers guests a convenient home base near Mission Beach, just a short drive from downtown. Guest rooms here feature bright green accents, flat-screen TVs, high-speed internet access and ample space to spread out. Previous visitors say that the views from the rooms are great (make sure to ask for accommodations on a higher floor overlooking the water). If you aren't satisfied with the scenery outside your room, you can enjoy the surroundings while dining on coastal cuisine at Red Marlin Restaurant & Terrace – an experience many recent guests recommend. This Hyatt property also boasts three pools (complete with waterslides for the kiddos), a fitness center and the Blue Marble Spa. However, some travelers say that this property could be better, with some citing costly parking fees as reasons they may think twice about returning. Members of the brand's loyalty program can offset fees by cashing in accumulated points.
