Enjoyed a very nice long weekend. Purchased the room on Hotwire for $130 a night and would have paid $200 a night. This is a very nice hotel. But... A couple of warnings: The folks who talk about noise are right on. This is a party hotel and the doors/walls do nothing to provide any privacy. Parking is $36 per... more

I made a reservation via hotwire and they send me to this hotel. When I arrived they told me that my reservation had been canceled and that I didnt had a room. After a while, they told me that I could stay and they would respect the rate I had with hotwire. I stayed for 3 nights, and in the... more

Our assistant hotwire'd the location and it turned out not only to be a great spot in the San Diego downtown hotel area, but just a nice little hotel with an elegant yet simple/contemporary finish. Great rooms, awesome bed/bedding and a funky entry door to boot! Very helpful valet and friendly staff. The Japanese restaurant Ra (I think I was... more

With the exception of one fairly rude female receptionist I enjoyed my stay at the beautiful SE Hotel. Very classy, clean, modern. Johnston (sp?), the concierge staff and the room service staff were all incredibly professional, courteous and eager to please. The rooms are as described by the other reviews, a little on the small side but very comfortable, nice... more

First time staying at the SE and definitely will be back. Free upgrade on room which put us on the 18th floor with a beautiful suite (No mention of the upgrade when we booked directly with the hotel last minute so complete surprise) We are locals in San Diego and just went downtown for a get away and it could... more

Se San Diego is a contemporary chic hotel with Asian-inspired design. The 23-story steel and glass structure is located in downtown San Diego's financial district; a short walk to the famed Gaslamp district and Horton Plaza and a moderate walk to the convention center and Petco Park. The hotel features a state of the art fitness center, meeting rooms, 30-seat... more

Great hotel, wonderful service. The spa is great. The room service menu could be more extensive and the european breakfast is nothing to get out of bed for. You can hear your neighbor's door open and close as if it were you own. I actually got up a few times to check! more

This is a party hotel period. This is the place if you want to drink, make noise and raise hell all night long. I was in San Diego for a professional convention and booked the hotel on Hotwire. The hotel is in a fringe area on 5th Ave on the margin of the Gaslamp district. This is a neighborhood with... more

I decided to stay at Se because of its proximity to everything the Gaslamp and Little Italy. When I arrived, I felt like the red carpet was rolled out; every door was opened for me, I was received promptly by a VERY friendly staff and upgraded to a corner balcony suite overlooking the nightscape of the city. The bathroom was... more

I stayed at Se San Diego while I was in town for a conference at USD. Every time I entered and exited the hotel the handsome and polite doormen greeted me and opened the door for me with friendly smiles! I loved the sleek, elegant ambience of this hotel, from the lobby to the elevator to my room! The shower... more
