Reviews for The Westgate Hotel
We love the Westgate!
Our stay here was epic! It’s a beautiful hotel in a perfect location, and we were treated like royalty by Meli and Omar at the front desk. They allowed for our special request and they were so sweet and kind while doing so. We come to San Diego frequently to visit my son and we’re going to stay here every time! Gracias!

Wonderful stay at the Westgate Hotel
Great stay at the Westgate hotel. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Love the pillows, Not rock hard like other hotels, made for a comfortable nights sleep.

Gabriel, you are awesome!
Lovely Hotel, has a fun old feel to it, plus lots of fun activities going on throughout the week typically. The restaurant has yummy food and Gabriel who works there is amazing! I enjoy people watching and noticed him sitting and befriending a non hotel guest who just comes in for breakfast weekly. I loved seeing that, it shows a person's character that people who are not guest make sure they stop in while Gabriel is working. Looking forward to my next opportunity to visit with him. Thanks, Stephen

Why stay anywhere else?!
We were so delighted with the front desk, staff and the service in the room and the location of this wonderful hotel during our holiday. Stay! Everything was spotless, well decorated, comfortable, and super convenient to guess lamp and little Italy and the ferry to Coronado and the water! We are looking forward to coming back again, and we’ll certainly stay at the Westgate. Thank you for a wonderful trip!
