Arriving from the airport by hotel shuttle was quick and nice to have. The hotel charges $5 each way for shuttle service, but well worth $10 total for ground transportation (much cheaper than taxi). We arrived a little too early for check in, but the front desk secured our bags and had our cell number to notify us when the room was ready. We walked around outside in the warm California sunshine and quickly found a 7-11 very close to the hotel - nice to know a 24hr store is close by for any late night munchie attacks. My cell rang and the hotel was ready to check us in. Our bags were delivered to our room just minutes later. The hotel does not recognize a 13th floor, according to their rooms or elevator. Found that nostalgic. The room was clean and clean smelling. What a great king size bed and even better pillow selection available. The room is very spacious with a large vanity and seperate toilet and shower. The shower head seemed a bit low, I am 5' 11" and and figured the shower head was only 5' 7" high. No idea why. Large closet space for clothing. No wi-fi in the rooms, but you can plug in your ethernet cable to the outlet. If you forget your cable, like we did, you can purchase one inside your room for $8.00. Trust me, I forgot my cable and the mall across the street charged twice as much. We found wi-fi to be available in the lobby and was told there was wi-fi in the conference rooms - end of our connection problem. Each hotel staff member we encountered either in the hallway, lobby or front door were very cordial and ready to assist in answering any quesitons we had. I like to talk with hotel staff when traveling and quiz them on anything from hotel services to nearby attractions. By the way, the 4-5 story mall just across the street - very nice! During our stay we talked to about 15 different staff members and each answered our questions 100% of the time with a smile. We thought the room price was accurate for location and it's excellent service. The hotel decor was in a early French theme and matched with the rest of the hotel. Excellent Stay! Thanks Westgate!

This hotel has recently been renovated. It is very ornate and is centrally located in the Gaslight area of downtown San Diego. Rooms are large and quiet. Customer service is second to none.

I was very happy with the Westgate for my stay. The rooms are sizeable, with extremely comfortable beds. Good service, and the hotel is in a fantastic location in downtown San Diego. I walked to Petco Park for a Padres game, and there are a great many restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. If you know downtown San Diego, then you know how close it is to the airport, too.

A friend turned me on to this timeless, classic, boutique hotel. Solid service, very large comfortable rooms, and a shower that has incredible water pressure! It's right across from Horton Plaza at the base of the Gas Lamp. We actually walked to Petco Park to see the Padres get beat by the Marlins. I check out tomorrow but I will defintely come back.
