Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

Classy and traditional, The Westgate hotel will make your stay a time travel experience in modern San Diego. Although the staff is friendly, sometimes the packages offered by the hotel don`t come up to the guests expectations. But the magnificent views of the bay and downtown make up for the unusual inconveniences. The journey to Old Europe is worth the price paid. Read our customer reviews?
