The hotel underwent a renovation recently. As such, it does not show some of the characteristic wear of older W Hotels. The room was nicely designed and highly functional. Unfortunately, my stay was marked with indifferent service and most notably, inedible room service. I've had plenty of bad food, but I can't remember the last time that I sent back... More

Loved this property. The W in San Diego is an unexpected jewel -- with equal and easy walking access to Gas Lamp district, downtown and the harbor-side convention hotels. We were attending a very large conference at one of the mega hotels but chose to stay at the W for the sake of SPG loyalty and a lower room rate.... More

We were here for the AUA conference and this hotel was one of the options. It was not our first choice. I thought it was ok. It's small and the lobby is pretty cool with louge music and a bit of a "pre-bar scene". The snacks and drinks offered in the lobby were pretty good and the service in the... More

My gut was to give 3 stars, but then I just realized that I am fairly un-hip and that is what was motivating the rating. The pros- It is a beautiful hotel and the room and the staff was super friendly. The doormen, clerks, and even housekeeping were all super friendly during my limited interactions with them. The room was... More

The W has built a reputation as a hip, trendy hotel brand, and its downtown San Diego location reinforces that. I knew from the second I walked into the "Living Room" lobby of the hotel -- replete with post-modern takes on rustic furniture, live DJ pumping out lounge music from a second-story loft, and fabulous people stumbling out of the...

My family and I stayed there over Christmas. It's located in the Gaslamp District, so it is very close to a lot of really great restaurants. The room is a nice size and the bed was very comfortable. Valet parking is $35, however, there is plenty of metered parking and there are also pay lots which are a little cheaper.... More

The w ios a modern hotel with good rooms. The bar by reception is very friendly and on thursday night turns into a great music venue. The hotel is just up from the seaport and gas light centre so great for visiting san diego

Everybody here is polite and this is a great place to stay in San Diego. They have an amazing restaurant and everybody is a delight to talk to here. The rooms are incredible and the staff are really nice. The place is amazing and everybody is incredible to talk to and a delightful staff.

Why is it that W hotels in general never deliver. The wheeeever concierge at w San Diego was clueless or not present, the rooms were old and poorly functioning (showers, lighting, layout). The management was great. The bar was great. The front desk helpful. Maids mediocre and general room service (cleaning etc.. ) aweful. Why does going green have to... More
