Meat-eaters should order the prime rib at the on-site restaurant—a house specialty.
DK Eyewitness "This 1926 inn was popular with Hollywood celebrities en route to holidays in Mexico in the 1920s and 30s. The original fixtures lend a delightful retro touch."
Rough Guide "This renovated apartment complex is a hundred years old. The stately hotel suites feature kitchens and pleasant, large sitting areas, and continental breakfast and wi-fi are free."
Lonely Planet "This 74-room gay-friendly place... used to be an apartment building, meaning mostly large rooms with kitchens, vast closets and early American decor." Full review

Frommer's "Your best Uptown option, just a block from Balboa Park...the rooms also feature electronic blackout shades, and updated entertainment systems. Larger units have separate bedrooms and walk-in closets. " Full review

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
Insight Guides "A perfect picture of refinement... the Westgate welcomes guests into a lobby with Baccarat crystal chandeliers, antique furnishings, bronze sculptures, and a Steinway grand."
Oyster Upscale
"The 223-room Westgate Hotel offers plenty old-world European luxury." 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 "Adjoining Westgate Plaza shopping, opposite the civic center, this fantasy of frilly French design is an orgy of excess that has its roots in Salt Lake City." Full review
Gayot "The Westgate is an anachronism amid the modern boutique hotels that populate the current San Diego scene."
BlackBook "Elegant, European-style Westgate Hotel is bullseye central in Downtown San Diego, two blocks from the Gaslamp Quarter and a few more to the Harbor."
Forbes Travel Guide "Designed to evoke Europe’s stately palaces, The Westgate Hotel offers elegant accommodations neatly tucked within downtown San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter." Full review
