  • Convenience from shopping, restaurants and attractions.
  • Absence of coffeemaker in the room, tea.

“This hotel is great for travelers with business in the area. Not recommended for family with small children. Great for couple only. Staff is friendly and helpful. Be prepared to pay upgrade if you request higher floor level after 9th level. Try to have a room between 3rd and Broadway streets to have a quiet night sleep.”

  • Westgate has friendly and welcoming staff and excellent downtown location.
  • Lots of noise outside of hotel: homeless people, drunks, trains, buses. Parking is expensive.

“The Westgate is a beautiful and well-maintained hotel. Even though the hotel has a very up-scale feel to it, the staff is welcoming and down-to-earth.”

  • The staff was nice.
  • Fees they charge for everything.

“Very clean. Nice Victorian decor, if you like that style. Staff is friendly. Parking seems confusing but in reality it is very easy to figure out.”

  • 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.”

  • Staff was very helpful, the room was amazing and the location great.

“I can't believe Priceline did it again, a great hotel for a great price. We got into the hotel in the middle of the night due to a miss flight. The staff was helpful and we felt refreshed by morining. Thanks for this great services.”

  • 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 was very friendly and accomodating.
  • The double beds were small - could've been queen size for the amount of room in the room.

“The ambiance of the place was very nice and I really found it quiet and beautiful. They do not have a pool and charge incidentals like crazy -- $20.00 p/p to use a pool inside a spa facility. I was willing to spend money for a nice facility but being nickel and dimmed to death was a little too much for me.”
