Very close to the San Diego convention center (I was there for a graduation). The valet could use some help though. The process was confusing for check out and when I went to pick up my car. The valet at the time were rude saying I should have been given a ticket to pick up my car, but I was never given a ticket dying valet check in. I may not be back even though I used to brag to everyone about this hotel and amenities

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Stay – Best Hotel Pool We've Experienced!
We had a wonderful stay at the Westgate Hotel. Although our room wasn't quite ready when we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They graciously allowed us access to the pool while we waited, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
The pool area is absolutely incredible—easily our favorite hotel pool experience. It felt like a resort oasis and was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the day. If you're staying here, the pool is truly a must-see.
To top it off, the hotel surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine for the inconvenience of the delayed room. That thoughtful gesture really demonstrated their commitment to guest satisfaction and hospitality.
The staff was professional, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our stay enjoyable. We left feeling appreciated and well taken care of.
We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the Westgate Hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing experience.

The hotel itself is very pretty, elegant, and in an amazing location. One of the best parts of staying here was how central everything was. We walked to Little Italy, the Gaslamp District, Seaport Village, and the Convention Center. You could even walk to Balboa Park if you wanted to. It felt like everything was within a 10–15 minute drive, including the airport and Coronado Beach, and only about 25 minutes from La Jolla, so location-wise it was perfect for exploring San Diego.

The majority of the staff members were genuinely kind, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay, especially with storing our luggage before and after checkout due to our late flight schedule.

Once we got into the room, which were very big and spacious, there were some maintenance issues. The shower drain barely worked, and by the end of a shower the water was up to your knees. The sink also drained extremely slowly.

That being said, the AquaVie Spa attached to the hotel was excellent and honestly one of the highlights of the stay. It was really nice to freshen up there before our flight, and the facilities were beautiful.

Two things worth mentioning while I understand this is outside of the hotel’s control: there was a large homeless encampment directly next to the hotel, which was uncomfortable and unexpected. Also, all night long you just hear the horn of the train almost consistently. They provide earplugs for you to use bc of this.

The Staff was very nice from the valet to front desk, to the bartender. The hotel and room were beautiful and clean. I just don’t know that I would book there again. Wife and I checked in late, we were very tired from a night out, all we wanted to do was get some sleep, unfortunately the room we stayed in was on the same side as the Metro Station and it made a loud noise every 25-30 minutes. The funny thing is we saw ear plugs in the room for the guests didn’t catch on till later that night. Second night went back to the room very late because we had attended a wedding, didn’t have time to change rooms that I wish we had, needless to say we checked out early. My personal opinion find another place to stay, if you want to get some sleep.

The Westgate is a upscale high rise hotel downtown. The flight crews stay there. It's safe to walk around at night and there are a lot of restaurants within walking distance. I parked my car at the hotel and took Uber everywhere. Uber arrives in a couple minutes. The lobby is very ornate with Victorian decor and huge chandeliers. My premium room was large. The hotel has bars by the lobby and by the pool. There is a restaurant and room service. The staff is very good. Only critique is a little microwave in the room would have been nice.

It’s very expensive with parking fees, I was there for 3 nights and only parking fees was $260. Not included in the room booking. Valet was frustrating, took 10 minutes for us to get our car. The room is very outdated. Honestly the price we paid was not worth it at all. I wasn’t aware of how the fees for the parking was going to be. I’m getting notifications from my bank at 1:30 am telling me that the hotel charged me a different amount every night. I called the front desk to clarify it and felt very ignorant afterward. I did not receive my hotel deposit back at all even when I asked about the parking fees the first night. It’s too much money for a very outdated hotel.

The gentleman who handled my check in was unusually respectful and professional, even for a legacy luxury hotel. I stay at The Westgate fairly often & have seen him attending to guests, but hadn’t had the pleasure of interacting with him directly until this stay. The other attendants aren’t at all bad, but they don’t quite give you that classic luxury hotel treatment.

Bellman Franky is a delight. I’ve even had him show up and deliver complimentary drinks and artisanal chocolates without being promoted to. And when I have ordered room service, he showcases the dishes and prepares the beverages with charming panache.

There’s a young male / female duo that mans the lobby adjacent bar on Thursdays & Saturdays—they’re a fun combo. Both in suspenders and slacks. The young lady is more A-type and deliverable-focused, the young man (who’s actually slighter than her) is coolly laid back and a bit more conversational. Either approach in isolation might not hit right, but in harmony it’s an enriching experience in my book.

During this stay the San Diego Opera Society held their meet up in the aforementioned bar; and thus I was treated to a beautiful woman in a killer burgundy dress belting out in Italian while another lady accompanied with piano.

Having access to AquaVie’s pool, hot tub, gym—that often comes in handy whether it’s for personal workout or for hosting.

And the rooms themselves are mostly excellent. Old school elegance.

The primary downside is the WiFi strength.

A little tired, but still classy. The big problem is that there’s a trolley that runs right next to the hotel if you’re on the side of the building that we were on, then you hear the horn all night long. It turns out that they would’ve relocated us, but we didn’t know to ask. Also the shower dripped continuously and we requested it to be fixed twice but it never was

Parking fee of $52/night is highway robbery! Hotel staff provide no alternative options for parking. If your room is on the trolley side of the hotel, you’ll hear a buzzing sound from the trolleys all night. I will refuse to stay there in the future just for that parking reason alone. Otherwise a very nice hotel.

The hotel is a little dated and antiquated. The rooms are fine but the bathrooms are very outdated and need some work.
The hotel advertises parking available and you essentially drive underground and could self park but they have setup an unnecessary valet system which has no pricing listed upon arrival or on the ticket. When you collect your car they just give it to you and then add $52!! per night to your hotel bill after you’ve left.
The pool is not there’s and is setup as lanes so there is nowhere in particular to enjoy the pool without getting splashed by a wannabe Michael Phelps.
If you have a main street facing room, you will hear the ringing of the tram bells constantly to the point of insanity.
It’s not the most expensive hotel in town but nor should it be, for what they save you in hotel costs they steal from you in parking each night though.

The hotel was very clean. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was security and a few others who kept staring at me with no acknowledgement, or greeting, which was awkward. The front desk staff was helpful and kind they made the stay enjoyable. I ordered room service and asked for gluten free bread and they gave me regular which caused a slight reaction. I only ate one bite and noticed it wasn’t safe to eat so no major reaction. Fantastic hot tube and pool area. It was clean and easy to find. The sheets were a little stained.

It would be better to let food deliveries come to my door instead of going to the front desk. It’s a great hotel but be aware of the surrounding areas and the next few blocks. There were several unhoused people and one was naked but I didn’t feel unsafe and there’s nothing the hotel can do since they’re well away from the property. Just be aware.

My stay at the Westgate Hotel was overall really positive.

The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, which made a big difference throughout the stay. The hotel itself was very clean, and while the décor is quite ornate (especially in the beautiful lobby), the rooms could use a bit of an update.

One thing I really appreciated was the security, having to be buzzed in late at night made us feel much safer as two women traveling alone.

The only downside was a small housekeeping miss. On our way out one day, we requested housekeeping service and for breakfast to be cleared, and while the room was cleaned, leftover room service items weren’t cleared. After getting back late from a wedding, we didn’t want to deal with it, but it did leave a slight smell the next morning.

They also gave me a complimentary bottle of wine for being an Expedia Gold member, which was a nice touch.

Overall, a clean, safe, and welcoming place to stay with great staff and just a few small areas for improvement.

Room was vast. I could have gone full Noah and brought two of everything with me. The bathroom had enough space to get ready side by side with a separate dressing area from the bathroom (for all you Brides out there). Bed was firm, which I appreciated. Toiletries were more on the masculine side so didn’t use them, but smelled nice (slightly peppery). The shower pressure was to die for. Nearly passed out. There was music almost constantly in the lobby - harpist or a jazz band. The blue and orange lines are right outside. The Gaslamp is three blocks east, Little Italy is a couple blue line stops to the north. The entire area does have alot of addicts roaming around, but because of blue/orange lines, the San Diego transit people were actively clearing the area. The hotel does supply ear plugs as you can hear the train horns from blocks away. Great central location and the staff were old school courteous.

My stay was disappointing. On the first night, I was assigned a room facing the train tracks, which appeared to be the worst room in the hotel. The constant noise from passing trains prevented me from sleeping, making it impossible to rest or work the following day. I requested a room change, and although the staff was courteous enough to accommodate me, the new room had stained carpet and an outdated remote control, which we had to request twice—initially, they never brought it. The couches in the room looked dirty and old. The staff at the front desk were courteous but not particularly friendly. Overall, I would not choose to stay here again. Also, the second room had a weird smell. I think may e if you buy the stay through Expedia, they give you the worst room, please be aware, and the noise from the train is horrible, unable to sleep at night

She created such a peace, peaceful environment. The front desk staff are very friendly, professional, and check-in was very simple. The only downside was that the gentleman in the valet parking area must have misplaced our belongings upon arrival. We checked in our items at 3:30 PM. We checked in into our room at 4:45PM, and our luggage wasn’t delivered to our room until a little after 6:30 PM. I had to call the front desk twice and even go down in person to see what was going on. This issue caused us to miss our dinner reservation, since we were waiting on our belongings. Aside from that issue, our stay was wonderful! Did I mention we had a breathtaking view of downtown San Diego?
