Westgate Hotel

We recently stayed at The Westgate for Comic-Con. If you're familiar with the process, you basically put your name into the hotel lottery and hope for the best, and I definitely got lucky. It was my first time staying here, and hopefully not the last. Every single staff member I interacted with was warm, personable, and genuinely friendly. From the moment we arrived, the valet made us feel welcome and gave us a helpful lay of the land. Meli at the front desk checked us in and patiently answered all our questions. The hotel has a high-end, old-school charm, like something straight out of Mad Men. Our room was impressively spacious, very clean, and surprisingly quiet given the weekend crowd. I sent out for dry cleaning and it came back quicker than expected. When I called to request it, someone came to my room right away, just another example of how responsive the service was. The restaurant and bar were excellent, even though the main dining area was under renovation. If what we experienced was their temporary setup, then I’m excited to see the final version. The burger and stuffed pancakes were both delicious, and the bar served up well-crafted cocktails. I especially liked the Perfect Martini and the French 75 that I ordered. Location-wise, it was ideal for Comic-Con, walkable to the convention center, and also along the official shuttle route. Valet service was quick and efficient, which made things even easier. Considering the hotel was almost certainly at full capacity, the fact that everything ran so smoothly, and with such a personal touch, was genuinely impressive. I’m hoping I get paired with The Westgate again for a future Comic-Con, but even if not, I’ll definitely be returning for a vacation or weekend getaway.

We love this gorgeous historical hotel. The service is so professional and there are amazing extras like live music in the lobby and afternoon tea. The Westgate restaurant is delicious . It is close to gaslamp festivities and food. The included gym and pool are so nice. We always leave feeling pampered from our stay!

Nice hotel, be carrying about which turn your windows is looking at. They have a rule that a train should be honked from early morning. We asked another room, and the stuff helped us. The bed and pillows were comfortable. I don't like the heavy slide door between the shower room and a common space (heavy, noisy), if you want to put things in the cabinet, you need to close the door. I like a poll outside. The water was clean. (robot clean it). Thank you!
