DK Eyewitness "A $56-million renovation has restored its past glory, with mahogany furniture and paneling, tile floors, and luxurious rooms."
Rough Guide "Across from Horton Plaza, this has been Downtown’s poshest address since 1910."
Lonely Planet "No hotel in the region can compare to the Hotel del Coronado for history, but US Grant, built in 1910, comes close." Full review
Star Service "Its unusual tenor is that of a quiet whisper, a mood that surprises those aware of this city's rowdy and rambunctious vibe. For those looking for a tranquil retreat this is downtown's top pick." Full review
Gayot "Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the old-but-new hotel features 270 guest rooms, 47 suites, two bi-level penthouse suites and an eleventh-floor technology penthouse."

Avoid rear rooms overlooking the bus depot; corner rooms are small but bright.
Afar Magazine "The rooms are smaller than a modern hotel, but remember, this hotel was built before the "bigger is better" model was in vogue. The dining room, called Currant Brasserie, is a charming place." Full review
Frommer's "This stately brick Gothic Revival building from 1929 offers stylish and modern lodging accessible to the Gaslamp, Embarcadero and Little Italy" Full review
