Loved it

We stayed at the hotel March 25 to 29. Not only is it a beautiful hotel in the public areas, the rooms as very well appointed, and quite spacious. It is located in the Gaslamp district, behind the opera house, and walking distance to a ny number of fine restaurants, and clubs. Balboa Park is minutes away. The staff is very accomodating, and will bend over backward to make the stay an enjoyable one. Good restaurants, and an intimate bar as well as a very nice gym rounded out the stay.
Wonderful Old-style Elegance

We had always heard about the Westgate. After pricing many other hotels, I was surprised how reasonable the rates were for this landmark hotel. Great views of downtown. Very close to Horton Plaza and the airport. When we arrived, afternoon tea was being served, accompanied by a harpist. A very large and comfortable room with many "old style" features (arm chairs, brass handles on doors, robes, etc.) A live theater production of "Forever Plaid" took place on the 3rd floor in an outside amphitheater (which we could see and hear from our room.) We were not aware that this was available and would have appreciated an e-mail informing us about this option. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and we will stay there again!!

I travel around the US on business and enjoy extremely high quality hotels. I stayed at the Westgate because of a last minute change in plans so didn't know what to expect. I must say that I rank it with the top hotels that I've enjoyed. Very clean which is so important to me and the staff was friendly and prompt. I will stay at this hotel again.

This is truly a grand old hotel that has been kept up very nicely. The surroundings are beautiful--chandaliers, antiques, etc. The service was superb. The room service food was delicious. The bed was sooo comfortable. No complaints.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Westgate. The staff was spectacular, very helpful and polite. The dinning was good and we were central to the Gas Lamp quarter and public transportation. The trolley stops just outside the hotel and the bus one block away. They have a shuttle that will take you to the zoo or Seaworld. Overall it was a wonderful experience.
