The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

The US Grant Hotel was perfect. The valet was super fast, the car was always waiting for us at the door. The staff and service was impeccable in every way. Every staff member we delt with was amazing. It was like we were the only people there. The food was very good. The location is in a great area with plenty of things to do for nightlife with in walking distance. 20 min to Sea World, 15 minutes to the Zoo, and 15 minutes to the beach, (At least the one we went to) We will be back for another stay for sure.

The main entrance to the hotel is actually at the back of the property. At the front of the hotel, you have to use your room card to enter. There’s no one standing at the front doors to greet you, open the door, or otherwise welcome you to property. The reception team was friendly and efficient. I recommend the complimentary tour to learn more about the history of the property.

I stayed on a high floor. The rooms are updated and spacious until you reach the bathroom. The bathroom is very small. It’s only suitable for single person use. There isn’t much space for personal items. I had to keep my toiletries bag on top of the toilet. Also the aesthetic of the bathroom didn’t match room. It was as if the room had been remodeled and updated but not the bathroom.

It’s within a 20-minute walk to East Village and Little Italy which worked out well for meal reservations. The valet parking offers in and out privileges, but is really expensive at $65/night. Some of the valet attendants are great. John stands out positively. There was one man that didn’t appear to enjoy his job and wasn’t very pleasant.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel, which is in a great location. We could do without some of the homelessness around the downtown area, but the hotel maintains its elegance in its close surroundings. The room and bathroom were both spacious.

I would like to give a huge shout out to Robert (head of valet) and Jerry (head of security) for their utmost professionlism and courtesy during my time of need. They followed through and made sure that everything was in order. They are top notch individuals.

Robert has such integrity and deserves all the accolades. The US Grant Hotel is lucky to have him since he is definitely a major ASSET to the hotel.

I would give 3.5 stars. As the general hotel star rating goes, this is more 4 than 5 stars. Staff was very helpful and kind. The room was fine, but pillows were not great, and there were some holes in both bottom and top sheets. The toilet was loose and moved when sitting on it. We figured that the location of the hotel would be great for exploring the city a bit, but the direct vicinity of the hotel felt a little "rough". A nearby Mexican restaurant was suggested to us as a great choice, but we left before ordering a meal as it felt more like a nightclub than restaurant. We ended up eating at the hotel restaurant, "The Grant Grill". See review elsewhere.

The customer service at the Grant was impeccable, more than one can ask for at what I consider to be an affordable price. I stayed in room 604 which is located right beside the elevator. 24 hours a day you hear the elevator going up & down. I would recommend avoiding room 604 for this reason. It's only a guess as to why I got this room, but I was there very early before their usual check-in time and I have to believe it is because they rent out this room last due to noise. Wonderful bed, furnishings, water, coffee, etc. Oh yeah, water pressure in the shower was almost non-existent. Beautiful shower and soft towels and robes, but low pressure.

Excellent Hotel definitely 5 Star in my book. Great bar with live music on the weekends. Be sure to shop wisely for rates. I got a great deal on my stay, but a mouth later the price was WOW! Room service was great. Room was very comfortable indeed. On my list to return again. Gaslamp Districts best!!

Great bar.
I have only visited in the evening, well after the restaurant closed.The bar is a very nice place for a drink and some really good, late night food. The bartenders are masterful some Hi Colin the wait staff is pleasant. The chef even came out of the kitchen to see how we were enjoying our food. Highly recommend this place.

I really enjoyed my stay. The bed was soft. The bathroom was very nicely updated with a large shower. The turn down service was unexpected, and a great touch with the candy on the pillow and soft music after a long day of conference meetings. The food and beverage selection was very good during meetings.

The US Grant is a very luxurious historical hotel. It has been around for over a 100 years and has been renovated not long ago.
The hotel has a gorgeous lobby and spacious rooms. The exterior of the hotel can be misleading because of its simplicity but that is what makes it unique.
The US Grant has a modern, cozy and classy restaurant and grill that offers a wide variety of meals.
San Diego deserved to be visited at least once and the US Grant is THE hotel to pick, you won't be deceived.
I am not going to talk money here :) I'll let you research that.
