“Andaz...a touch of class and then some!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012

Thanks so much to the star Andaz team!! Greeted warmly before I even got inside, friendly staff opened the door, prompt check in and on the way to my fantastic room; clean, more than comfortable, and a quick trip up to the rooftop bar; amazing view, and even better was the service. Friendly, efficient, attention to detail....Andaz represents it all. Carla, Tyler, Mike, Doug, Lauren, Dan and Lindsay, among important other team members (you are ALL fabulous), made this an amazing stay; my sincere appreciation!! Can't wait to come back to San Diego soon and have another luxurious stay with the Andaz team!

“Andaz is it in San Diego!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2012 via mobile

I arrived at The Andaz a day prior to my reservation by mistake. Although I was embarrassed by my mistake they took great care of me and rearranged my booking even finding a lower rate!

From there it only got better. A sleek sexy room with tons of amenities and a fantastic rooftop pool and bar. Upon arrival and departure I was offered a complimentary beverage along with a glass of wine each evening

The Andaz is located close to everything downtown. That being said you will not want to leave.

“Very good hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2012

Stayed three nights at the Andaz after our cruise.
Was very kindly treated in the lobby and checked in a flash. We were given facts about both the hotel and San Diego.
The room was large, and had nice furniture, the shower was surrounded by glass walls and the whole thing felt modern and trendy. There were plenty of aminents, and alcoholic beverages in the minibar plus crisps and chocolate were free. Nice initiative.
Sushi restaurant next door that belonged to the hotel had the most delicious sushi we've ever eaten and the serving staff did everything and more that you would be satisfied.
Nice pool and bar, etc. on the roof. The block where the hotels lokated is very nice.
A small note, however, the bed was too soft. But it's a matter of taste.
We were more than pleased with our visit and can really recommend this hotel to anyone except perhaps those with children.

Do not bother to visit the San Diego Zoo, go to the old town instead and do not miss Fashon Valley shopp till you drop.

Room Tip: The Large king room is a good value.

“Not Worth The Money”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 27, 2012

My husband and I stayed at the Andaz for two nights and around midnight each night, we could hear the music coming from the hotel club loud and clear. When I called down to the front desk, their response was "it should stop in 45 minutes."

The music was loud enough to keep my husband and I awake until if finally stopped around 1a, but until then, even with the T.V. on, the music was constant. The front desk did send up earplugs. Very nice of them.

This hotel is a waste of money. They aren't nearly as hip as they think they are.

Room Tip: Ask for a room that does not have the music from the hotel club pounding your wall.

“Cool, hip, and comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 24, 2012

I had a wonderful stay at the Andaz in San Diego in April 2012. I was greeted a check in by Vladamir who checked me in and escorted me to my room. He also made sure I was informed about the complimentary items and was comfortable with the accommodations. The rooftop bar is fabulous with great views of Downtown San Diego and the bay and ballpark, and the drinks are really good as well. I did not dine at Katsuya (off the lobby) but plan to in the near future. For a unique experience, try the Andaz.
