The Westgate Hotel is located minutes away from the airport and the San Diego Convention Center, just steps from the trolley/train station, and is readily accessible by freeway. Within walking distance is the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Opera, the Symphony, Horton Plaza shops and Gaslamp Quarter energy. Designed as a re-creation of an anteroom in the Palace of Versailles, the Grand Lobby is noted for its magnificent antiques, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, Flemish and French tapestries and Persian carpets. The Westgate is considered a one-of-a-kind hotel. Completed in 1970, it was filled with a certain timeless elegance that is considered not to be readily found anywhere else in the San Diego, California area.

We came to San Diego to see a concert and Kee Kee was very accommodating to checking us in and making sure we had the information and things we needed. My sister and I were very pleased with our stay and we look forward to booking in the future.

The Westgate is an oasis of calm and grace in the middle of what can be a surprisingly dirty and trashy downtown of what is otherwise a beautiful city in San Diego. We have stayed at the Westgate several times for it's beauty, comfort, quiet, amazing fitness center, and location; would not stay anywhere else (other than oceanfront in MB & PB which we do also). We appreciate the Westgate's spacious and very clean suites, the terrific views, the clean and bright bathroom with great shower water pressure, the soft towels, the comfortable bed & linens, and especially the amazing wonderful gym to which hotel guests have access. We started staying here for easy access to downtown's nightlife and waterfront, but that's become less appealing over the eyars. The Gaslamp and downtown districts are dirty, trashy, loud, and crime-suggestive (see all the filth & bars & security guards in stores, esp the locked cases of chocolate candy in the drugstores!). The only improvement we would suggest is that the Westgate improve the quality of the breakfast and location (e.g. the 2nd floor rooftop area) so one is more interested in paying the high price for it.
