WorldMark San Diego - Balboa Park

I had a good hotel stay. Great location. Parking may be issue, it you don't want to pay.

the property is great; however, the windows and walls are too thin and much noise seeps in. The terrace has a great view of downtown and the Coronado bridge. The only guaranteed parking is valet. Street parking and private for pay parking are available. It is within walking distance to Balboa Park. Be prepared to be invited to their ownership presentation of about 2 hours. In exchange for your attendance, they give you gift cards and other gifts. The presentation is quite educational. All in all, we had fun and it was a pleasant stay.

Location and terrace are the only best things here. Parking costs $30 per day, no breakfast available, no housekeeping (they only pick your garbage bag once a day). Carpet, sofa covers were so durty. Elevator was dated and runs very slow. No free wifi. Paid wifi was available but provided by some outside company and hotel staff had no idea about the speed of that wifi.

Our only complaint was that being on the 5 th floor The roof deck above got noisy at times as some children were unattended running around up there and in the halls for the 3rd & 4th day of our 7 day visit.

This property is a timeshare!!! They charge $30 per night for parking aka more than the rental car costs per day BUT if you attend their timeshare presentation they’ll let you park free for 3 nights but wait, my managers not here so I’ll let you park for all 4 nights. Then you get to your room and they charge you for WiFi too! Very frustrating being nickeled and dimed after paying $170+ per night. We did not attend a timeshare meeting and successfully found steeet parking but it comes with lots of restrictions - no more than 2 hours between 8-6p and no parking M/W/F from 3-6a for street cleaning. The hotel was fine and room was nice. Elevator is scary and has a sign in it about how old it is and to be nice to it...

We were highly disappointed with our stay at this property. It is not a hotel it is a time share facility and during our stay we were prayed on and coersed into attending a 90min (minimum but could be up to 2 hrs) presentation. The presentation was like being spoken to like a 5 year old and the promised free breakfast was terrible. No one once explained to us that we were attending a time share property or that they would try and sell to us. We were left feeling utterly scammed and taken advantage of. For a 2 night stay, it totally ruined our experience. The facilities themselves at the accomadation is vast but that is because it is not a hotel! It is a time share unit. Parking at the place is a whooping $30 a night! San Diego is nice but don't stay here you'll get conned and will have to deal with alot of unpleasantness. Tucker at the concierge desk is a villain! Please please avoid!

Location was great. Central to highways/airport and short ride to Gaslamp district. Staff did not hound us for a seminar and treated us well. One thing, they do not clan your room or give you towels. You have to ask

This was a family vacation to the San Diego Zoo and the beach. This place is centrally located to most everything we cared about! Five minutes to the zoo, 12 minutes to Mission Beach, 10 minutes to Coronado, close to dining and shopping downtown, and free transportation around downtown using "The Free Ride" app. We would love to come back here!

This was a last minute booking for my family of four for a weekend trip to San Diego. The rooftop of this property is definitely it's best aspect. The room itself was nice, clean, and had everything we needed in the kitchen in terms of dishware & pots/pans. Very close to Balboa Park and very short drive to places you want to go in the city; didn't feel comfortable walking around the area to be honest. Negatives include that 1) you need to pay $5 per day (which only covers 2 devices) for wifi (it's 2018 and for this price of staying here it really should be included), 2) parking is valet only and costs $30 - during more than one occasional it would have been much similar for us to just go to our car instead of waiting for the parking attendant. On one occasion he was inside chatting with another staff member and we needed to go find him after waiting directly outside for 5 minutes, the parking lot is right there and we could have walked to the car and left without irritation in the same amount of time. But, we opted to park on site because the area directly around the property is a bit sketchy. And 3) lots of street traffic you can hear at night, so if you're not used to sleeping in a city environment be aware. Read reviews about how pushy the staff were about timeshare marketing, but we were generally about to avoid this. Staff was overall friendly.
