Frommer's "This nonsmoking property competes with the newer Grand Hyatt next door, so guests benefit from constantly improved facilities." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Most rooms at this busy hotel are set up with worktables and high-speed Internet. The marina and waterfall swimming pool make great distractions."
Gayot "The central courtyard is lush with a series of pools, waterfalls and tropical plants."
Zagat4.5
""A place where all things are possible", this "aesthetically pleasing", "upscale", waterside high-rise beguiles guests with its "immaculate" facilities."
Star Service "Like a docked ocean liner, this extravagant and confusing maze of marble and busy-patterned carpeting is a flotilla of bars, fountains and restaurants moored beside the convention center and...marina." 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."

"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
