Review of W Hotel San Diego

The hotel had wonderful service. From the roof bar...

The hotel had wonderful service. From the roof bar, to the front desk, and the valet service, everyone was extremely nice. The hotel decor in the lobby was modern and fun, but the rooms felt like living in an IKEA show room, and a dated one at that.

We had a Corner Room, the biggest room on the floor, and it was still small compared to other hotels in the San Diego area. The, so-called, wonderful skyline view is a joke. You get to look over the run down part of San Diego, away from the main skyline. Most of the time, the blinds remained shut. It is not walking distance either to most things.

I had a decent time at the hotel, but I will not be recommending or staying there again. Their slogan is "what ever you want", but they put the other half in the fine print at the bottom. Should read, "Anything you want, but comes with a 20% service charge and a $5 service tax. If it's from the mini-bar add a $5 restocking fee."
