Wow
The W is for Wow. I couldn't have had a better experience. From being allowed to check in at 10am (yes, 10am), to the free door-to-door Acura service (talk about being chauffeured around San Diego), to the comfortable beds, Bliss body products, free coffee, apples, and fruit infused water in the lobby, to the free nightly wine/champagne event with Starwood Preferred Guests (I signed up on the spot) from 5-6pm, I couldn't have been happier. Will definitely stay here again, should I visit SD in the future. Oh, this is also one of the most disability friendly hotels, complete with a lift to get those with disabilities in and out of the pool. Love it.

I loved it. No complaints. The rooms were cozy and immaculate. The hotel itself was contemporary and beautiful. Next time, I'll have to utilize the pool!

Upscale and affordable
A surprisingly affordable slice of luxury in downtown San Diego. The rooms are spacious and attractively decorated, there's a friendly vibe among the staff and guests, the marina is a 10 minute walk away, and there's a terrific brewpub next door. There is a downside to all this value: not an awesome location if you are a fun seeker instead of a businessperson. You'll have to cab or walk to the Gas Lamp district and there is zero shopping other than the chain store laden mall. I was happy to make the trade off to stay at a hotel I couldn't otherwise afford.

Great comfort and atmosphere
I had a great time while in San Diego. It's a little out of the way, but just a few block walk will have you in the heart of San Diego. Great room, very modern and chic. Would stay here again!

great hotel
The staff at the "W" could not have been nicer. The free ride to the restaurant was an added bonus.

Expensive for a so-so location, but helpfulness of staff made up for it
It's a bit pricey, and it is not located in the heart of the 'GasLamp'. But the staff were always helpful -- they are 'on the curb' in front of the hotel and provide help as needed, such as finding the 'hot spots' in the nearby GasLamp. A concierge desk is in the Lobby. I heard that the bar in the Lobby is well-known in San Diego. The 'view' of the Bay was obstructed by other buildings -- the setting was 'too urban'.

San Diego vacation
Hotel stay was fine. Valet dinged my rear fender so had to file a claim. I had to confront the valet though to get an admission. Hotel staff was extremely helpful in smoothing out the situation though so I appreciated that. Otherwise great hotel!
