THE WESTGATE HOTEL

Great value hotel in the heart of Downtown San Diego. About half the price of a similar hotel next door, the U.S. Grant. Ornate European style lobby with 40’s and 50’s background music. Afternoon tea served in the lobby for the fancy ladies. Rooms are largish, clean, but a little dated. The hotel is in general is a bit dated and seems overdue for renovation but is still perfectly acceptable. Security could be better - no door latch, no in room valuables safe box, light or no security presence although elevators require a room key to activate. The roof top pool deck is amazing with outdoor fitness machines, lounge chairs, and a really hot spa pool, along with a normal pool suitable for lane swimming. A gem! Westgate is one of the best value hotels in San Diego. Go before it’s sold, renovated, and 3X price!!

Loved staying there, the rooms are very big and clean. You feel like royalty when there. Location is also fantastic. The staff was so helpful and nice. Will come back!!

Omar from the reception is extremely decent and helpful at all times even when he’s dealing with multiple guests

I loved this hotel! It is an older hotel as other reviews say, but has wonderful charm and class that you won’t find in contemporary hotels. My room was spacious and comfortable and I loved the old school craftsmanship evident in the architecture and details like marble tiling, intricate faucets and handles, and carved moldings. The lobby is welcoming and bright and there is always music playing which fits the ambience and class of the hotel. One evening they had a harpist playing, which was lovely! The people were all so nice and had a genuine attitude of service with a smile that is all too rare these days. The meeting facilities were very good and the catering for breakfast and snacks was delicious! The hotel was in a safe area close to good options for lunch and dinner and 15-20 minutes walk from the Gas Lamp area and convention center or the Embarcadero. I felt very safe walking around the area. I will definitely stay at this hotel again and next time I will be sure to enjoy their spa!

Thank you to Sarah C. and Sue for making our honeymoon stay at the Westgate Hotel so memorable. We appreciate all the special touches to our room, at our tea service and parking help. Can't wait to come see you again for our 1 year anniversary!
