Great location, close to the trolly and within walking distance to USS Midway, grocery store (Ralph’s), gaslamp quarter and convention centre etc… all within a 20 minute brisk walk.

We were on a high floor and found our room quiet. The AC was very loud and the fan rattled a lot on our first night but the hotel staff was very quick to fix it the following morning and we had no issues after that. The renovations help the hotel rooms feel newer and the beds were very comfortable.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay thanks to the clean property, comfortable bed, and complimentary evening social hour with wine and appetizers.

However, there were a few issues that impacted our experience. Our room keys were inconsistent throughout our stay, even after staff attempted to fix them. Housekeeping also came to clean our room before 9:00 a.m. each morning, which felt too early. In addition, housekeeping repeatedly left only three towels for a room with two guests. Since we each showered twice a day after long days of walking, having to call for a fourth towel every day was inconvenient.

Our biggest concern was with the airport shuttle process. We arrived in the lobby at 1:00 p.m. for our scheduled 1:30 p.m. shuttle, as instructed by the luggage attendant. When the shuttle was delayed, he told us to remain in the lobby and said they would call us over when they were ready. At 1:40 p.m., we saw a van leave, and when we asked if it was our shuttle, he apologized and said they had forgotten us, suggesting we wait for the next one. It was frustrating because we had followed his instructions, yet the missed shuttle resulted from a communication breakdown.

With improvements to housekeeping consistency, room key reliability, and shuttle coordination, this hotel would provide a much better guest experience.

We stayed here for our 50th anniversary. It's a lovely location, common attractions are walkable. The valet service was excellent. Room was clean, well equipped. Bed very comfortable. We were upgraded to a bay view, which was nice. We liked that we could watch Netflix on our account. Food we ate there was very good.

However, our biggest issue was housekeeping, which was basically non-existent. I will not blame the housekeeping staff for this; I think the hotel is totally understaffed for housekeeping. The first day after we arrived, we got a knock on our door at 5:00 PM, asking if we needed anything. So we took the opportunity to load up on towels, water, and coffee. Sure enough, we never got a made bed, vacuumed floor, or cleaned bath area. By the time the knock on the door happened, we were too tired to complain about it, and just lived with it. But I think Westin management needs to address this issue seriously.

I stayed there for the weekend.

Parking i believe it was $65 for vallet parking ?
I parked across the street and it was $30 overnight.

The room windows were really dirty from the outside, impairing a really nice view of SD.

Every time we flushed the toilet an alarm went off in the bathroom? I don't know what that was about.

Other than that, great stay

I booked a Bay View King room and expected a relaxing stay after spending the day at SeaWorld. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.

My room wasn’t ready until around 10:40 PM. When I finally checked in, the room had a very strong marijuana odor, and there was loud noise from a room across the hallway. My wife and I couldn’t tolerate the smell and both developed headaches. We were exhausted and unable to get the rest we needed.

After waiting even longer, the hotel moved us to a different room, but it was a downgrade from what we reserved. We lost the bay view and were given a room with a bathtub instead of the shower that came with our original booking.

The staff was courteous and eventually moved us, but the delays, room condition, and downgrade significantly impacted our stay. This experience fell well below what I expect from a Westin property. I hope the hotel will make this right through appropriate compensation and improve how these situations are handled in the future.

Pros:
1) A 5-8 minute walk from the Amtrak Station. I didn't want to drive in traffic to S.D. and thus took the 3+ hour Amtrak.
2) Friendly check in and was also able to check in early as the Amtrak train arrived around 2 hours before check in time.
3) Nice large room that was clean.
4) First night stay was quiet.

Cons:
1) Food inconsistencies as what's on the hanging card on the door if one wants breakfast in one's room the following day and what's on the in-room menu and what's offered on the menu in the actual restaurant. I had one in-room breakfast food meal and today had one in the restaurant.
2) Food-Abysmal-I need not say more.
3) AirCon-Stopped working at night. Thank goodness I brought my portable desktop fan with me and turned it on.
4) Lights in bathroom way too bright. Try going to the bathroom at night, One will be shock awakened.
5) Phone either didn't always work or line was busy. I had a meal in my room the first day, but when I came back after 6PM, the dishes were still there. I had tried to call to get them removed before I left my room.
6) Second night. Nightmare. Exhausted. Fell asleep into a nap, and around 7:20 PM was awakened by the VERY loud barking of a dog in the next room along with loud talking of a couple. That went on and off until I checked out today. No use in dialing zero today since I was checking out. $600+ to arrive home more exhausted than when I had left. And that was my first vacation in six years, along with my birthday trip.

Clean room, facility, and close to the Bay and Pier for the limited time we were to spend in San Diego after 10 days in Hawaii. Our flight didn't get in until after midnight and the crew working the late shift were a little less than enthused as I'd hoped after our long today, but I know they were chill because the smell of pot was in the air. Otherwise, not a bad little hotel.

Stayed two nights of four night visit to area. Airport shuttle was excellent. Check in was fast. Room was high with bayview but next to staff room so heard music each morning by housekeeping staff who seemed surprised someone was in the room. Pool is much smaller than expected. Feels like an old Westin back home… same set up etc…. Public areas back memories of the 80s and 90s. Location is good for walking but my adult (college aged) daughter was startled by a man who came up quickly behind her and made comments about her appearance so she didn’t want to walk alone or after dark in the area. Not many people around after dark except homeless and occasional tourist. Did not take advantage of happy hour… second ticket was for evening after we were to depart. Front desk staff was great. TV screen read ‘welcome Barbara’ which is not my name. Was told they’d credit some Bonvoy points for some of the issues we had like gritty sheets but never got the points. Figured that was because I went through Expedia. Bathroom could be better … on par with a 2-star motel. Appreciated the in-room safe. Probably wouldn’t stay downtown again but hotel was okay especially location wise for walking during the day and the airport shuttle to/from hotel was helpful.

The Westin Bayview delivers. It’s beautifully decorated with good bedding, a gracious staff, and is well situated near shops and restaurants, while within the vibrancy of downtown San Diego. As an Amtrak rider, I appreciate the Westin Bayview’s location, that’s only two blocks from Santa Fe Deport (Amtrak's San Diego terminus).

The Westin Bayview is walkable, or a short ride, from great sites. In terms of walking: Balboa Park is a 30-minute walk, the Gaslamp District in 20-minute walk, and the Seaport Village is a 10-minute walk, from the Westin Bayview.

Well done Westin Bayview. Cheers.

AC units sounded like diesel generators. I changed rooms to avoid one and the second room did it too. Maintenance guy fixed it fast to his credit and was nice too.

Hot tub emits some horrible sucking sound. All the guests in the tub commented on it and it drove us crazy. It was like having a dentists suction device next to your ear at full volume.

Towels ran out at the pool and it took the property and extended amount of time and multiple guest complaints to refill.

Finally, the staff were making a ruckus in the room next to mine (705) at 10:45pm Saturday night while we were trying to sleep. Talking at full volume right outside our door, letting the door slam, etc. I had to come out and ask them to keep it down.
