My colleague and I stayed at the W last week and had a great stay. Beyond the hotel being trendy and centrally located, the service was great - especially Dawn Evans. She was so warm and friendly. Both mornings at breakfast she checked in on me to ensure I had everything I needed. Her fun and welcoming demeanor made my... More

I booked a table for a breakfast meeting, however when I got there the restaurant was under construction! The staff gave me a suite with the extra room for my meeting, they truly bent over backwards. i am going back there next week, the vibe is quite cool, but not quite the same as some of the other Ws I...

We stayed here for our summer holiday in June 2010 and were very excited... What a let down it became. We arrived at around 10 in the evening after almost a day of travelling from the UK (Transfered in NY) to be told that they didn't have a room for us as they had overbooked for the San Diego Marathon...

This is quite a nice comfortable hotel, but it lacks the Wow factor that you usually expect from a W.

I attended a conference about a month ago and was very impressed with the hotel and its service. This was my first time at the W downtown San Diego and never thought to stay there. I ended up talking to one of the banquet servers, Michelle, who recommended that I bring my girlfriend to stay at the hotel because of... More

Downtown in a rather isolated pocket with bailbond companies and buildings that close up at night. Facility itself is nice, there are charges for all services, so be prepared. Property was quite clean, techno in AM in lobby can be annoying. All in all, decent deal and works well for business traveler at a fair cost. Probably would repeat given... More

What a great fun hotel! Very convenient to the airport (15 minutes in traffic), and walking distance to many attractions, restaurants and the famous gas lamp district. When the cab dropped us off and we entered the lobby, we thought we had stepped into an exclusive club. Lots of well-dressed couples having cocktails in the lobby, (which is also the... More

My wife and I went to the W for a wedding and weekend get away and WOW! Upon arrival the Valet staff was really cool. Front desk greeted us with warmth like they were waiting for us. When we got to our room we we sooo pleasantly surprised at the space the feel and the energy. When it was time... More

Flying in from Minneapolis, MN I had no idea what to expect as I usually find accommodations with Hilton or Marriott. I had never previously stayed with a Starwood property & thanks to the W San Diego, I have a preference change. I'm a very picky guest in my mind...the type who doesn't let go of errors easily and would... More
