Frommer's "It may look like a 1970s office building from the outside, but the interior of the Westgate Hotel is positively Palace of Versailles." Full review

Travel + Leisure "223-room hotel filled with gilded antiques, chandeliers, and 18th-century tapestries." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Baccarat crystal chandeliers, Persian carpets, and French tapestries are just backdrops to the gracious service."
Rough Guide "Centrally sited hotel near Horton Plaza with a stylish lobby (almost to the point of kitsch), elegant rooms furnished with balconies and antiques, and CD and DVD players."

Star Service "The hotel is in fine shape, and the renovations completed three years ago brightened the large-scale facilities with a colorful contemporary look that is universally appealing. " Full review
Gayot "The Hilton Torrey Pines, perched atop the expansive cliffs of La Jolla's Black's Beach, offers easy access to surfing, hang-gliding, hiking, golf and sunbathing."
BlackBook "Neighboring the Torrey Pines golf course (of US Open fame), this four-diamond resort is just a jaunt away from the track and some killer crests."
