  • Nice location, very nice facility.
  • They thought a medium well burger meant just a little past raw.

“The West gate is a very nice facility. Lots of time I'd be happy with a clean, well-lighted place, and the West gate far exceeded those minimum expectations. The staff were very personable, friendly and helpful. The folks at the front desk were always accessible and always helpful. The room was very clean and it was quite roomy and comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.”

  • The lay out of the room, the shower, quietness of the toilet, and the soft water.
  • The bed and the pillow.

“Everything was good except for the bed and the pillow. The bed was not firm enough and pillow was too soft.”

  • Housekeeping was extremley friendly and hotel room had a great layout.
  • There was no pool in the hotel and most onsite services such as dining were expensive.

“The hotel was in a great location just by the Civic Center Trolly which is not if you are traveling without your own vehicle and need to use public transportation. We had a great view right next to the Horton Plaza Mall where we were able to get our morning coffee. The only down side was the mini fridge was not cold at all so dont buy any food that needs refrigeration. They have no in room coffee machine and they only serve coffee between 5-8 am which means you have to wake up early on vacation if you want a free cup of joe and they do not have any ice machines on the floor. So everytime you needed ice you had to call the front desk for a bucket of ice which got to be a little irriating. Lastly, the doors need to be open in a very precise way where you insert the key and turn the door simultaneously so that got to be frusturating. But if you don't mind a few little things here and there it is a really nice place to stay.”

  • Great internet in room and free in business center
  • No coffee maker, no mini bar or fridge, double bed not queen

“While this hotel had an impressive list of previous visitors it just did not give what I want when I travel. No excersise room, no pool, No coffee maker, no mini bar or fridge, double bed not queen. If you want ice a room attendant needs to bring it. When she brought the ice she was was crabby that I did not want or need turn down service.”

  • Rooms are clean, decor very dressy French provincial, convenient to Horton Plaza.
  • Disappointed about expensive parking fee and inconvenient if you are touring to zoo, Seaworld, mission bay, etc.

“This hotel is very elegant, clean, quiet, convenient if you want to be downtown. Staff was very professional. Free coffee until 8:00 a.m.”

  • No pool, Parking way over priced at $28 a night, street noise even on the 17th floor and there are only 19 if I'm remembering correctly.

“Older people who like chandeliers and fine dinning. Not for younger people who want a pool and more to do in the hotel.”

  • The staff were very helpful, kind and accomadating.
  • No coffee maker, microwave in the room

“The facility and the staff went out of their way to 'serve' us whenever possible. It was refreshing to have the bedding turned down each night with the candy and forecast card along with the robe layed out on the bed. That was a nice touch.”

  • It had a elegant old world feel about it
  • There is no pool on site but they'll let you use a local gym pool for a $20 fee

“The hotel was fairly unattractive on the exterior. The interior was nice because it had a very old European flair about it. However it did smell a bit musky in the main lobby. The room was very spacious and pleasant. Housekeeping was very attentive and quick. A minor annoyance was the fact that there are no ice machines and you have to call down to room service to have them bring ice up to your room. A major annoyance was that there was no pool onsite, the staff told us that if we wanted to go to a pool we could go to a pool at a nearby gym...for an additional $20 charge. Another upsetting fact was that the rooms have a conjoining hallway dividing rooms into sets of two and when people are in the hallway the sound is amplified and is very annoying.”

  • The rooms and common areas were so opulent.
  • The $28 a night parking charge and valet very busy.

“Located in the downtown area very close to the Gaslamp District, this hotel has grandeur and old world opulence. The staff is extremelly friendly and the hotel rooms were very spacious (especially the bathroom) and clean. Our room had a very small balcony that you could see the harbor from (between the buildings that is). Felt like royalty staying there!”
