“Glamorous Hotel of by-gone era”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Glamorous hotel which shows the glitz and glamour of the 1940's. It has faired well over the years. Our room was a good sie especially taking into account the size of rooms in that era. The service was great (they even provided a mini bar fridge so we can store our own items which was very much appreciated for our... More

“Beautiful Hotel, Wonderful Service!”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

I would stay at the US Grant again in a heartbeat. There are so many "nice" hotels, but what really separates the US Grant is its amazing staff. Ever single staff member we encountered from the front desk, to the valet, to the housekeeping staff went out of their way to make us feel like we were VIP guests (even... More

“Great style and location”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

Very good central location in the Gaslamp district close to the Harbor and restaurants. We had a corner superior room were we could see a Little bit of the water. Please remember that this is an old hotel and central location. This means that the windows are not sound proof which means that you will have the traffic and any... More

“An other great stay!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

I stayed here for a business trip last month for the second time this year. First off the rates were fantastic; actually it was one of the better rates for all of downtown San Diego for mid week at @$135/night. I brought my wife with me so she could enjoy the city while I worked and it was her birthday... More

“Best Hotel in the Gaslamp”

Reviewed 25 January 2013

You are clearly a savvy traveler ledieff by staying with us at such a great rate! While our rates ebb and flow with the city as all hotels do, our service does not falter and I am glad the valet and concierge impressed you! We at the front desk certainly want our guests to stay hydrated as well. Thank you... More

“Eelegant despite her age”

The US GRANT, San Diego Elegant despite her age A walkable few blocks from the San Diego Convention Center and just about at the end of two rows of streets of restaurants and shops, the US Grant personifies the elegance of the boomtown heydays of Old San Diego. Despite her age, she has evolved into a hotel that has coped... More

I love your description of how we "personify the elegance of the boomtown heydays of old San Diego". What a magical picture you paint! I am most proud that our service continues to personify not only that old world charm but also that of modern luxury. You are right about the thickness of the carpet on the guest floors. Interestingly... More

“Hidden elegance in the heart of SD”

Located on a busy corner in the Gaslamp Quarter, this historical hotel -- named by the builder after his father, U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant -- retains an elegant, old world luxury, with damask walls, marble stairs, plush runners, opulent chandeliers, and a jazzy lounge that harkens back to the 1940s. The only parking available is valet, but it's very... More

I love your style Niki D and you have an eye for history and luxury! To add to your historical facts you listed, the original builder was none other than Ulysses S Grant's own son and wife! It was built in his true honor and we are proud to uphold that legacy of what they dreamt as the finest hotel... More

“Lovely downtown hotel in great location”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

We stayed at the US Grant, a luxury hotel of the Starwoods group. We found a wonderful deal for $149 for a king deluxe room. The hotel is historic and beautiful with all the modern amentities. The desk help was friendly. We arrived early and they held our luggage and called us on our cell when a room was available.... More

Thank you for the glowing review bitler! Our deluxe rooms are indeed memorable with their preferred location and I am most happy to hear the sounds of the city did not disturb your restful slumber!

“Mediocre Hotel, Lousy Neighborhood”

This was once a grand old hotel in the center of town, but there is no town today, only this hotel, SRO's and pawn shops. The only reason to go to San Diego is for a convention or for the beach. This hotel's location has neither. It's about an $8.00 taxi ride from the convention center and god only knows... More

I am saddened to read that you did not enjoy your time in San Diego Stephan! While many guests love the life and excitement of the gaslamp district right outside our doors, it certainly may not suit everyone. You are right that San Diego's amazing beaches are a short drive away from the heart of downtown. I can only hope... More
