Stayed here with my wfie while attending a conference. The hotel is out of an old movie. The lobby is, as one colleague put it, big enough to hold a gala. The staff are great. Very responsive, with good recoimmendations and excellent service. The rooms are fairly good sized. The only oddity is that there is one door from the... more

We got a great price through "Name Your Own Price" at priceline.com. This is a beautiful hotel. Overall the hotel has a classic elegance, old, European and luxurious feel. When we walked through the lobby to check-in, there was a harpist playing beautiful music as a handful of people sat at table having afternoon tea. We checked in with no... more

We won this hotel on a Priceline bid for $70 per night (Friday, Saturday). This hotel is beautiful, on the inside. Even the parking garage (as expensive as it is) is beautiful and clean. As stated by other reviews, the outside of the building is unattractive, however, once you step inside it is a different story. The hotel is beautiful,... more

I had to be in San Diego for a business trip and booked this hotel through Expedia. Walking into the lobby and one thinks of the super elegant hotels of the 1930's, Grand Chandeliers, Oriental Carpets, wonderful wood decor. The staff was outstanding, and of the few meals I ate there I would say were excellent. Ideal location, the transit... more

I enjoyed my weekend stay at Westgate. For the $139 per night I paid, it was a bargain. Yes, the rooms will remind you of your grandma's decor, but they're very large and comfortable. My room was very quiet on the 7th floor. I appreciated the free bottles of water and the turndown service with chocolates. The hotel is just... more

The grand dame has seen its day and she needs an update. We booked on hotwire and got a killer deal. The location was said to be in the “glasslamp district” but its not. Its on the train tracks in the center of downtown San Diego across the street from Horton Plaza. The hotel looks like an office building and... more

Stayed at the Westgate after getting a supurb rate on hotwire. Hotel is located with easy distance to the Gaslamp quarter's many restaurants and bars. Shopping is convenient with HBorton Plaza on your doorstep. A seven eleven is two minutes away to stock up on drinks and snacks. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which we used to... more

This was a beautiful, classy hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms were huge and very clean. We had a nice bathroom with a separate sink and vanity area. There was a sliding glass door that allows you to squeeze out onto a very small balcony, but we had a great view of the Coronado bridge and downtown. The staff... more

Pros: Cost, we bid on Priceline with a recommendation from biddingfortravel.com and got a rate of only $71, a STEAL for Labor day weekend. Room, large, luxuriously appointed, serviced well and regularly (turn down service), and they even placed our daughter's stuffed animals on the bed as if they were going to sleep. Location, right across the street from the... more
