This was a perfectly good hotel but not as chic as some Starwood hotels I've stayed in. I have stayed at Starwood hotels that blew this one away. That being said, I can't remember what the price difference was but I'm guessing plenty. The bed is comfortable and the room is clean. There's a convenient place to get breakfast &... More

The reservation process was satisfactory. Parking at this hotel is a bit of an issue. Of course it is located downtown and that means parking in a central garage and then walking a bit to work your way to your room. This hotel is built in the shape of a cylindrical tower. Therefore rooms are shaped in wedges and were... More

It is a shame that good hotels don't get as many reviews as the bad ones do so it is important to highlight the hotels that actually do a good job. This place is one of those. as an SPG gold member I always have high expectations from the Starwood brand and they almost always meet my expectations which is... More

This is a little biased because we usually stay at luxury hotels but my father booked this room for us as a gift. We checked in with low expectations, but were pleasantly surprised to find our room on the 15th floor had a lovely, comfortable bed. The luxury ended there, but frankly the bed is the most important part isn't... More

This was a very nice hotel with very courteous front desk close to downtown San Diego. A good 1 minute walk to the gas lamp quarter. Rooms were very well appointed, comfortable and a high standard of housekeeping was evident. Carpark is secure and floors alternate with vending machine and ice machine. The gym is small and great for an... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is good. It's very close to the airport and all tourist attractions while being in downtown. Rooms are well managed and clean. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are nice (a little small for 2 adults and 2 kids) but excellent value. San Diego is a fun city. We really enjoyed... More
