The room was immaculate and the staff was friendly. I especially liked the valets in the garage for being the most efficient in town. The location was centeral to so many sightseeing spots. more

I named my price for downtown San Diego on Priceline for $80 a night, for a half business half romantic stay. I was shocked whern I saw that I had been given the Westgate. I am in the Wedding industry and I have worked there many times but have yet to stay there. I had called earlier in the week... more

The Westgate was a very nice hotel and we were happy with the location and ammenities. Although we stayed closer to the water for the initial part of our visit and liked that better (even though the hotel wasn't as nice). We booked through Priceline and got a room $100 per night. The parking is expensive $28 for valet and... more

My boyfriend and I were lucky to score such a great deal on Priceline for this hotel ($75 for 3 nights over Memorial Day weekend!!). Regardless, we were very happy with this hotel overall. The customer service was EXCELLENT. Everyone was SO nice, polite, friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and we received very nice turn down service... more

Great location in downtown San Diego but sadly the wireless and fixed wire access had been done all day. The staff particularly Niklas Dahm who claims to be a Director of Operations decided that my temerity for asking when it might be fixed meant he could be as rude as he liked. Our shower was plugged up and we had... more

What happened to the Westgate Hotel?? It used to be a fun destination. Now there is NO more seafood Soiree! Why? That was a family favorite. NO more Le Fontainebleu This used to be a classy restaurant! They used to have special events like fashion shows, but not anymore! I think the new management doesn't have a clue what makes... more

Staying at the Westgate Hotel reminds me of my European vacations. Trust me – if you haven’t had European service, you cannot judge outstanding service – where being a waiter is a career worth doing well, not a job you have during college because you can make good tips but if you get fired, no worries, you’ll get another job.... more

We went to San Diego for a friend's wedding and didnt want to drive all the way back home too late since we had our daughter with us. We Pricelined the Hotel and won our bid at $70.00/ night. The rooms are just ok. The decor is a bit outdated. No flat panel TV. The chair upholstery is old. The... more

I just come back from my trip in San Diego and me and my husband had the best time ever. My friend recommended the Westgate Hotel after she visited a wedding there. She said it was the best location to have a wedding. When we arrived we felt already taken care of. The gentle man at the door welcomed us... more
