With the exception of one fairly rude female receptionist I enjoyed my stay at the beautiful SE Hotel. Very classy, clean, modern. Johnston (sp?), the concierge staff and the room service staff were all incredibly professional, courteous and eager to please. The rooms are as described by the other reviews, a little on the small side but very comfortable, nice... more

First time staying at the SE and definitely will be back. Free upgrade on room which put us on the 18th floor with a beautiful suite (No mention of the upgrade when we booked directly with the hotel last minute so complete surprise) We are locals in San Diego and just went downtown for a get away and it could... more

Se San Diego is a contemporary chic hotel with Asian-inspired design. The 23-story steel and glass structure is located in downtown San Diego's financial district; a short walk to the famed Gaslamp district and Horton Plaza and a moderate walk to the convention center and Petco Park. The hotel features a state of the art fitness center, meeting rooms, 30-seat... more

Great hotel, wonderful service. The spa is great. The room service menu could be more extensive and the european breakfast is nothing to get out of bed for. You can hear your neighbor's door open and close as if it were you own. I actually got up a few times to check! more

This is a party hotel period. This is the place if you want to drink, make noise and raise hell all night long. I was in San Diego for a professional convention and booked the hotel on Hotwire. The hotel is in a fringe area on 5th Ave on the margin of the Gaslamp district. This is a neighborhood with... more

I decided to stay at Se because of its proximity to everything the Gaslamp and Little Italy. When I arrived, I felt like the red carpet was rolled out; every door was opened for me, I was received promptly by a VERY friendly staff and upgraded to a corner balcony suite overlooking the nightscape of the city. The bathroom was... more

I stayed at Se San Diego while I was in town for a conference at USD. Every time I entered and exited the hotel the handsome and polite doormen greeted me and opened the door for me with friendly smiles! I loved the sleek, elegant ambience of this hotel, from the lobby to the elevator to my room! The shower... more

Stayed here for 1 night after booking a last minute room through Hotwire. It was about $123.00 total, which I thought was a great deal for a 4 1/2 star hotel. I was nervous about staying here because of the other reviews i've seen here, but I was pleased. Good things first: -hotel is Beautiful- absolutely gorgeous -check in was... more

The hotel is very nice, spacious bathroom, comfy bed, nicely decorated. If you want to get to sleep before 2am on a weekend, then make sure your room doesn't overlook the pool, and if it does, make sure it's not the 5th floor. There is a bar on the 4th floor that spills outside next to the pool that keeps... more

Thank you very much for recommending Sè San Diego Hotel to your friends in your review. We appreciate your comments about our spacious bathrooms, comfy beds and nicely decorated rooms. We do apologize that the weekend activity at our Siren Pool Bar and Uber Lounge made it difficult to sleep before it closed for the evening. We hope that you...

While I always appreciate a solid location and a chic modern design, this hotel focuses more on its rooftop bar and loud music than it does on its guests and the overall cleanliness. My boyfriend and I went here for his 30th birthday weekend after reading some reviews online. While we agree the location is great and the front door... more

Please accept our apologies for checking you into a room that had not been cleaned as yet. While we have systems in place that should prevent this from happening, clearly we dropped the ball. It sounds like we did recover a bit by relocating you to one of our 'lovely corner balcony suites." We needed to ask one more question...
