Comfortable and convenient

We enjoyed our one night at Best Western Yacht Harbor in San Diego. Each person we met on the staff was pleasant and helpful. It is close and convenient to the airport, Old Town, and the Embarcadero, as well as an easy drive to Mission Bay and Point Loma. It was a quiet, comfortable room, and met our needs nicely.

It is far enough from freeways to be quiet, but easy access to 3 freeways makes driving to Sea World, the zoo, and even Tijuana quite easy.

Very family friendly

The Best Western Yacht Harbor Hotel rooms were very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and informative regarding catching buses to downtown San Diego. The location of the hotel is five minutes from the airport. There are several dining options located near the hotel.

This hotel was great for us, maybe

This hotel was great for us, maybe a little out of the main area of activity but the local bus is cheap and close by so you can get around quite easily. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

Best Western- Best Rate and Accomodation

They cleaned the room every day. The free breakfast (buffet style)had a lot of choices. This and the free parking had saved us a lot of money for our 5-day stay. Moreover, its location is very strategic- close to everything- restaurants, churches, amusement parks, supermarkets and groceries, etc. When we visit San Diego again, we'll definitely stay at Best Western Yacht Harbor again.

If you go to Sea World, try to get ou as soon as possible at closing time. You can wait a lot in a traffic jam.

Super Location, Pricing and Amenities

I work for a small company and we were going to be in San Diego for a convention. We opted to stay a bit away from the convention hotel because of the room cost, lack of convenience (not really too close to restaurants), and charge for internet and parking. The Best Western had it ALL. We were within 1/2 mile of about 10 or 12 restaurants (definitely a nice walk around the harbor area), could see the harbor from the hotel room balconies, convenient and free parking, a pretty wide selection of items in the continental breakfast (yes, they have a waffle maker), and a great exercise room. Clean and spacious rooms, friendly people at the front desk, nice up-to-date rooms and lobby. Oh....and we paid about HALF the price of the convention hotel's rooms, not to mention saving around $20/day on parking, $10/day on breakfasts and whatever the convention hotel was charging for Internet! There is a walking path that runs for a couple of miles along the harbor right across the street from the hotel.

About a half mile to the Red Sails Inn Restaurant - great food, outstanding service, great view of the boats in the harbor.
