Comfortable but noisy
I stayed at the Bay Club for a business conference in San Diego. The hotel where the conference was located had poor ratings on TripAdvisor, so I decided to stay at this higher rated hotel.
The rooms are spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and accomodating. The parking was plentiful and easy to access. The buffet breakfast was delicious, hot, and maintained...all things that make a hotel stay wonderful. 
There were two issues, neither of which were under the control of the hotel, that had me wishing I had stayed elsewhere. The hotel is located on Shelter Island which is in the San Diego bay, directly across from North Island Naval Air Station. During my stay, there was a large amount of air traffic, mostly helicoptor traffic, that was extremely noisy. My balcony was open towards the source of the noise, thus funneling the noise into my room. Luckily, the majority of the noise was during daylight hours. Also in the noise category, this hotel's room layout is designed such that the TV set in one room is located along the same wall that the adjoining room's bed is located. Unfortunately, my neighbor was a late night television viewer with an obvious hearing problem...luckily by turning the wall mount AC unit on high, I was able to mask the majority of the TV noise.
The second issue is regarding the WiFi capabilities at this hotel. They offer free WiFi. Upon arrival, you are told that the free WiFi is limited in speed (I found it to be slower than an old dial-up modem). They offer WiFi with increased speed for a premium (actually provided by a third party provider known as sandiegowirelessservices.com). Because I do a lot of my business via a VPN hookup with my corporate LAN, a decent WiFi speed is a necessity. So, I paid for the increased speed. The result was a negligable speed increase (slightly above the speed of an old dial-up modem). I have contacted the third party provider to let them know...it could be a simple equipment probelm. 
In summary, this is a wonderful hotel with great service. I just happened to be there during a very active Naval aviation period. It was fun to watch the air traffic and feel the noise, but it soon grew annoying (my opinion...obviously I'm getting old!!). Also, if you do business via the internet while travelling, this location may be a problem due to slow WiFi speeds.
