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

On behalf of the entire team here at Sè San Diego, please accept our most sincere apology. We are always disappointed when a guest has an experience that does not exceed their expectations, and clearly we did not do that with you. Please do not hesitate to contact any member of our management team when you have challenges with satisfaction...

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

The Se is among the most disappointing hotel experiences I have ever had. The staff is more concerned with each other than the guest, the valet parking takes forever (plan on a 30 minute wait while they run blocks (Tijuana maybe?) to get your car while charging $25/day for the privilege of making you wait, and the layout and size... more

This hotel screams class. The decor is outstanding with a great ecletic modern feel. You feel the attention to detail as soon as you walk through the gorgeous front door that was apparently chosen personally by the owner and flown from out of the country. The service is outstanding from valet, registration, bartenders and especially the Suite & Tender restaurant... more

Awesome!

I've never been to san diego and staying at the Se' San Diego definitly added to the overall experience of the trip. the location is exceptional and within walking distance to anywhere in the historic gas lamp district, shopping, the convention center, and a plethera of restaurants. it's understandable that everyone is on a budget, however I would highly reccommend... more

I booked a room for a business trip and requested to have it NOT facing the pool. When i arrived on Sunday and stepped into my room, all i could here was thumping music so i looked out the window and sure enough it was party central at the pool. They kindly switched me out to wheelchair access room at... more

For the serious traveler keep searching. Beautiful hotel from an esthic perspective. However if you want to get a good night sleep forget it. This is a rock and roll club with a hotel attached - they need to pick an identity. Serious hotel or a nightclub with overpriced rooms? Overall Very pricy for this economy. $10 for internet, $36... more

Someone once said "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it Autograph your work with excellence." That seems to be the mantra at Se San Diego. In the spirit of excellence, the luxurious accommodations, superb cuisine, and impeccable service created an extraordinary experience! Every aspect of the hotel addresses the body, mind and spirit. It was a... more
