Pros: For the price, this place is great! Beautiful views from our room on the 26th floor. You won't find views like that anywhere close to this price range.
Cons: A few minor cracks in the walls in the bathroom. Room kids gives off a slightly outdated vibe. Walls are quite thin. We could hear our Neighbors talking all evening. $29 a night for self parking. $35 for valet.

Pros: We stayed here on our mini honeymoon before we go on our big honeymoon in May. The staff made sure to give us a corner room view of the city. The hotel employees were very friendly
Cons: There was no refrigerator but there was a microwave. Why would i need to warm up my food in the microwave if i didnt have a fridge. Wish they would include a complimentary breakfast. Rooms were outdated wish they looked more like the lobby area. Overall comfortable relaxing stay with my husband

Pros: Basic and clean hotel Great reception who was very apologetic for being overbooked and gave us free breakfasts. Nice touch which moved the rating from 3 to 4
Excellent
10.0
Pros: We had a great stay at the Declan. The hotel was still in transition from the Sheraton, so it is hard to comment on the appearance and overall quality of he hotel. With that said, the staff was very helpful and curious, so I imagine that when the full transition is complete it will an excellent hotel.
Cons: Having to stop on the lobby floor and get off the elevator to get on another one to go to the ground floor.
Excellent
8.2
Pros: Spacious suites, friendly staff, great breakfast, good rates.
Excellent
8.0
Pros: Staff was very polite and check in/check out was fast and easy. When I checked out by phone, they called valet for us so our car was ready when we stepped outside. Only approximately 6 minutes away from Gaslamp quarter if you want to go out for some drinks or dancing.
Cons: They had a restaurant in the hotel but I was bummed that they had no room service. They also do not have a refrigerator. Bring something to set your things in if you need anything chilled. They do have ice machines, coffee maker, and microwave. Room can have some upgrades but it is an overall spacious and OK hotel for the price. Wouldn't mind staying there again.
Good
7.7
Pros: The lobby and check-in area were simple, but nicely designed. There was a large handpainted calendar behind the concierge desk showing which music acts were performing over the course of the month. It was informative and artistic. The lobby was clean, modern, and inviting as was the attached Deck 12 restaurant and bar. The front desk person was friendly. Since we were there on a Saturday night, leaving Sunday, we were able to take advantage of ample street parking for free.
Cons: Our room was located directly across from the elevators. Very loud when sitting in a chair in the living room space of the suite. The room was reasonably spacious, but it had not been updated in quite some time. When we entered for the first time, we were overwhelmed with an almost toxic level of chlorine funmes. (Obviously I am being overly dramatic as i don't think we were in any danger.) The bathroom felt very small and tight despite being a good size. There was a tub and seperate shower, but even my wife could not take a showewr without hitting her elbow trying to maneuver in the stall. It was that small. In fact, I hadto open the shower door in order to move my arms when drying off. When asking the guy at the concierge desk for breakfast spots, he was not very knowledgeable. Turned out he was actually the bellman and the concierge was busy. Would have been good for him to start off with that info. There was no gift shop where one could buy snacks or water. Our only option was to use the vending machines and if you wanted drinks, you had to go several floors up to find a machine that sold them.

9.1
Pros: The room was very spacious, I loved it. I also loved how many mirrors were in the room, many hotels lack mirrors, but this place has that covered.
Cons: I didn't like how small the shower was. The central air was not working in the common areas, which I assume is not something that happens all the time, so I am not putting too much emphasis on that, however it was excessively hot even riding the elevator or just walking down the hallways.. Enough that I walked at a more rapid pace to get outside faster.
Excellent

Pros: Friendly, courteous and helpful staff. Modern decor and spotless rooms! Wonderful view and comfortable bed.
Cons: Parking garage is poorly designed, elevator setup is confusing (tho it adds some security), fridge didn't work.

4.6
Pros: There was a bed to sleep in... that is all.
Cons: We had to send back the Eggs Benedict because it was sour and just downright HORRIBLE. We had our meal replaced with over cooked eggs and cold, greasy bacon... definitely NOT worth the $65 bill for two breakfasts & coffee. Maintenance had to come up because the faucet was stripped and wouldn't turn off. There entire hotel smelled old and reeked of stale cigarette smoke. It took the chick 20 minutes to find change for me while trying to check out because I paid cash for that lousy breakfast. Just an all around horrible stay and will NEVER stay there again.

Pros: Cool room, nothing from the ordinary but useful in group settings for the larger room. Security came up twice but he was very understanding and agreed on what volume was right. Location was great and close to many places in walking distance.

Pros: It was very nice, clean, spacious and walking distance to the Gas Lamp district. Had great views! The staff was very pleasant.
Cons: The parking structure is a bit crazy and could be marked better. Hotel parking is on the 11th floor. The parking is also $30.00 a day! which I guess is the going city rate. The price of the room goes up quite a bit when you add in the parking and all the different taxes.

Pros: The room was out together well. I live the doors by the bed and separate televisions.
Cons: No pool and no floors in the lobby, felt rushed and small. But the beds made up for everything.
Okay
4.5
Cons: The pool was closed. The door was boring. Nothing to do at the hotel. Basically walked in and out of the hotel and paid $30 each day for parking. There's much more fun and intriguing hotels else were. I was born and raised in San Diego and visit often in hotel stays. This definitely isn't a vibe I'd like to stay in again.

4.8
Pros: There is a free shuttle to/from the airport. Each room contains a refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker, safe, hair dryer, and iron. I was given a voucher for free breakfast buffet in the attached restaurant and the staff kept it well-stocked, even when it was nearly time to end the buffet. I flew in early and the hotel let me check in early without charging an extra fee.
Cons: There were several issues with the condition of the room. The refrigerator, TV, microwave, and lamp were all broken. I attempted to restart the fridge and the TV by unplugging from surge protector and plugging directly into socket, trying different sockets, etc. but was unable to get them going again. A very nice maintenance man did some trouble-shooting and was able to get them working with a bit of effort. The switch on the lamp was bent, loose, and shorted out. Cleanliness was also a problem, maybe because of my early check-in. A used towel was stuffed under the safe in the closet. One bar of soap in the bathroom had gotten wet and was unusable. There was a curly hair on the bathroom counter. There was no lotion. Overall, the experience was NOT what I expected from a $200 per night hotel and I do not recommend it.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: The hotel is conveniently located in downtown San Diego. It was spotless. The breakfast was actually served next door, and it was delicious!
Cons: They didn’t have a shuttle driver available when we arrived at the airport. However, we were told to take a cab, get a receipt, and they would reimburse me, which they did as soon as I checked in.
Excellent
9.4
Pros: The view from the balcony was a direct line to the waterfront and the Star of India. The room was very clean. Breakfast is provided at the attached restaurant which is a nice facility. Transportation is provided to and from the airport and to the cruise ship terminal. The location is convenient to walk to Seaport Village, Little Italy, local bus line, the zoo, Gaslamp district, multiple other restaurants, as well as pharmacies and shopping. There is no need for a car.
Cons: The lobby area is being remodeled and I knew that when I booked. It was a little dusty, but not inconvenient in any way. However, although the rooms are very clean, the furniture, wall coverings, and carpet are looking a little tired and worn out and in my opinion, these are the areas which should be updated.

Excellent value for the price with short walks to anywhere in the downtown and along the bay, or if you don't want to walk it is a $4~ Uber to Gaslamp/downtown. Will stay again and would recommend to anyone looking to stay downtown!

Pros: The historic hotel was clean and the staff was courteous. Rooms were a fair size and had all the amenities that I would want in a luxury hotel. The lobby was comfortable for getting caught up on email (and had a great cup of coffee in the morning). As mentioned in the title, I have never had such a comfortable bed and wish I could take it home with me.
Cons: The hotel cannot control this, but the area is filled with homeless and panhandlers that made it uncomfortable to walk to the Gaslamp district or Midway museum (it's worse on 4th Street). Next time we will likely stay close to the waterfront where the problem seems to be lessened.

Pros: Good, comfortable bed; historic setting; very good food in their grill: their sea bass w/ artichokes, arugula pesto and spinach cavalcati was incredible. Geat Caesar salad at lunch; good bar service; excellent Bloody Mary! Nice housekeeping staff. Helpful concierge gave me good info about getting to the San Diego Zoo.
Cons: Snooty front desk clerk: I was staying 2 nights on SPG points, an SPG Gold member. Took advantage of early check in and 4pm checkout - that was great. Front desk clerk says: "Sorry can't upgrade you at checkin." And I say, if I didn't check in until after my day's activities after 6pm, could I get an upgrade?" response: "No". So why did you even say that sh*t in the first place? Total droid. Also, downtown San Diego is a dreary place indeed. Homelessness abounds. And while there are nice restaurants within a mile, this particular stretch of Broadway isn't much...

Pros: I liked the bed, it was comfortable. I liked the design of the shower even though it was not the most functional way to wash your body and save water in California with the looming drought over it's head.
Cons: First of all, they try to hold $100 a night for possible incidentals but could not provide the correct paperwork stating that it was company policy so they use the tactic of trying to stall you out so they don't have to deal with you anymore. Second I didn't like the communication the front desk lacked, I didn't like that there was a pool but no Jacuzzi, I did not like that I had to pay $45 over night to park my car or the fact that all the parking circling the hotel was 2 hour metered parking starting at 8am. The valet service guys at times were more helpful then the front desk in curing any issues I had. This place is only for out of town business people. People with a company card who are looking to pay high for food and minimal fun.

Pros: The room was absolutely nothing special, a motel quality at best. There was no refrigerator, but they did provide a six ounce bottle of their brand water for two guest. We also had leaky shower faucet, I supposed designed for ambient noises to help us sleep. We paid $340 a night for the room, however internet was not included and upon arriving, discovered the parking described on the website, would cost us $47 per night. The city view described from our room, was a very tall adjacent building.
Cons: San Diego! Great city, but research your hotel carefully. There are lots of nonsense outfits like The Renaissance waiting to take your money for garbage service!

Cons: The room was clean and comfortable but very small. If was very noisy each morning and due to the location there are homeless people everywhere. The smell of urine is prevalent on the streets as you walk around and are constantly accosted for money. The roof top bar is very expensive and in need of a remodel. This is an extremely over priced hotel in a poor location that would be average at half the price.

7.1
Pros: The lobby is beautiful and very current in it’s styling. The staff was wonderful, very quick to respond and extremely helpful. I absolutely loved how dog friendly the hotel is and how, compared to other comparable hotels, the one time charge was surprisingly low. It was lovely to be able to bring our two small dogs on our vacation.
Cons: The air conditioning seemed to be rather old and was positioned in the far left corner of the room in the wall. There was only one vent and only went down to 65°. Although that seems low, it felt more like 69° or 70°. For such a small room the air-conditioning still didn’t seem to do the job well. As far as the location it was suitably placed around areas of interest such as restaurants and bars. But it was also adjacent to a courthouse and jail. Although I did not feel unsafe in the least, it did mean we heard sirens all throughout the day and night. I think it would help to have double pained windows to minimize the noise. When seeing pictures online one of the biggest reasons we decided to book the hotel was the rooftop bar and restaurant. As our vacation was to celebrate my 34th birthday, we thought that that might be a great place to have a nice dinner. Unfortunately, we stayed at a time when they had odd hours and were not open much of the time we stayed which was disappointing. The parking was outrageous at $48 a night.

Pros: The location was great downtown and close to many things. The price was great as well.

Pros: Great view of downtown SD skyline
Cons: The service was sub-par. Since they don't have electrical kettles in the room, we ordered some hot water for tea. After 30 minutes and several more phone calls, nothing showed up, even the operator told us she called house keeping several times. We had to give up and find a cafe nearby. The room was not as clean as the Sheraton we stayed at previous night. There are old coffee stains on the carpet, rust marks in the shower. The hot water actually ran out when I took a shower, first time ever at a 4-star hotel. The front desk wasn't that helpful either, keep referring to a printout when asked for recommendations, not exactly concierge level of knowledge of the city as one would expect at a nice hotel.

Pros: Hotel was clean. Staff was very friendly. The decor was modern and neat. Location was convenient. I made a special request (wanted a photo to be displayed in the room) when making the reservation and the staff did an excellent job with my request.
Cons: We asked for a room with a view, but our view was terrible. We were very disappointed with this. The room was also much, much smaller than I would've expected. I've stayed in tons of hotels and have never had a room so tiny. The shower looked cool in theory but in reality because there was no door, water leaked out onto the floor. The bathroom door, too- cool in theory, but if you value your privacy, it's not for you- it slides shut but doesn't actually close, so you won't have total privacy in there. Valet is $40 a night. Attached restaurant (Saltbox) had decent food but VERY slow service. Overall, not a bad place to stay, but we found that what we experienced definitely did NOT warrant the price tag that accompanies a stay at this hotel. Next time we visit, we will be staying elsewhere.

Then I was told that at due to construction, they didn't have my room and could send me to their sister location, the us grant (not my style). All of my friends, even the ones who checked in after me got their rooms, right next to each other. I was sent a block away with my reservation and a $70 increase in price for a room that didn't even have the requested layout and then wanted to charge me for Internet in my room. The hotel loomed nice but this experience was not acceptable. Think twice before booking.

Upon check-in, we were not told there would be an event at the pool from 4pm until 3am!!! Bad move Palomar staff. Bad move. Never stay here again. Absolutely disappointing and ridiculous. Too bad.

Pros: The atmosphere was upscale and classy, felt great staying at a great hotel. Room service was a little steep (typical...) but the food was delicious - the staff recommended some foods that were spot on. Room decor was great, modern and classy. Hardwood floors made it feel a little upscale.
Cons: The bathroom is just a total mess. Shower head position is too low for anyone 5'5" or taller - requiring you to use the head manually (why???). Bathroom door is a sliding door but doesn't exactly provide too much privacy since you can see through the cracks - perfect angle if you want to watch your friend on the toilet... Iron was awful - took way too long and was just cheap overall or needed replacing. Cleanliness was awkward - arrived at the hotel (6pm) and was told our room needs to be cleaned. We arrived in the room, saw the hardwood floors were soaking wet (slipping lawsuit anyone?) and found residual items from the previous guests. Would be nice to upgrade those 2003 radios to the new iphone 5 or usb players...
Okay

Pros: Hotel is in a great location, bed was nice, as was the decor.
Cons: Last two nights there, the lobby smelled like a stadium bathroom, staff was not helpful upon checking in, the front door to the hotel has to be the most awkward door I have ever seen on a hotel. Also, instead of having an actual door on the bathroom, they have a sliding glass door. Just a word of warning, if you have a knock at the door and someone is in the shower be sure to pull the door closed because you can see straight into the shower from the entryway. That is poor planning and inexperience. I would not stay here again nor recommend to anyone.

Pros: The room was a decent size.
Cons: I paid extra for a king-sized room with a "bay-side view" but we were put on the second floor and the only thing outside of our window was the roof of the carport. We could hear the valets every single night and morning and could not see the bay from the second story. The website had a photo of a tall Wyndham with promising blue views but we were put in the 4 story part of the hotel with no view. Disappointing. Also, we came back one evening to sheets that had definitely not been clean as a stain from the night before was still in the sheets and sand was tucked in and made into the bed.

Pros: The location is AMAZING, I highly recommend it. When we first arrived I was disappointed by the outside of the building (it looks very dated) but the interior was GREAT and the room was extremely comfortable. One of the best beds I have slept in at a hotel!

Pros: The rooms were clean. The location was fairly convenient - right across from the street from bay, nice view, easy walk to Little Italy, Seaport Village, and a few ships across the street to tour. Hornblower was also close. There was a park right across the street with a splash pad and playground - great for kids. The staff was very nice an helpful. Pool was clean and enjoyable. It was very nice to have a balcony and get fresh air in the room. The deli downstairs was very convenient. As was having Ruths Christ which had great happy hours.
Cons: I know the facility was previously a Holiday Inn - so it's not the higher-end Wyndham you may think of. While the overall cleanliness of the property was great, be aware that there are 3 "towers" and you may be a short walk from the lobby. The overall property is not all fenced off, but the hotel does have safety features. The outside isn't that wonderful, but it's do-able.

Pros: The view of the bay was phenomenal!
Cons: The hotel room was very underwhelming for the price point. The bathrooms were outdated and not the cleanest. We had asked the cleaning staff to come back later on our first day and they didn’t until our 3rd day being there, which was rather disappointing. The outdoor pool is beautiful, but isn’t heated so that was another let down.

Pros: The hotel had an excellent location right along the bay. It was close to many attractions and restaurants. There was nothing wrong with this hotel, it was just very average. I would say it met expectations, but did not exceed. Rooms were a decent size, beds were comfortable. We could have benefited from a room with a better view; we couldn't enjoy our balcony because we were right above the air conditioning unit which was very loud.

Cons: When we arrived the valet and self parking was full. The hotel would take no more cars. We were forced to leave and come back several hours later. When we returned parking was still full. When we finally checked the hotel was over booked and our room (which was already paid) was no longer available. After an hour of speaking with management we were given a small parlor room with three roll-a-ways. Beds were very uncomfortable. The experience was horrible. And the only thing the hotel provided us for our inconvenience was a comp breakfast. Nothing additional, no discount or credit. I would never recommend this hotel.

Pros: The location is really awesome
Cons: Room's air conditioner didn't work. Called the front desk who said they'd send someone up. After 20 mins in a room that hit 90, even on a cool evening, I went to the lobby where the reception desk informed me that maintenance had already gone home for the evening. They provided me with a new room without issue. Packing and having to move rooms at 11 pm after spending an entire day at a music fest wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I do thank reception for taking care of me without incident.

Pros: I loved how green they are, the bed was very comfortable, plenty of channels on the tv, breakfast/room service, got to check in 3 hours before.
Cons: The ice machine was out of order our entire stay. The parking meter was not working our entire stay. Balconies are a bit close to each other but you learn to look past it.

Pros: the hotel is only minutes front eh airport. it is right along the waterfront, which is beautiful. The city views are also delightful. Very close to the train which provides easy transport to downtown. The staff was friendly and helpful. Close to many attractions. Convient to all the city opportunities. It worked out great for my baseball stay. Helpful concierge. Close to restaurants. I would stay there again.
Cons: Wish it had free parking. Closet in bathroom not my first choice. Bouncers at a private party not very friendly.

Pros: Do not stay here. The hotel was below average for the price, the hotel staff were not helpful and uninformed. Worst of all was this sign noticed while checking out: WARNING: This building contains chemicals, known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. They were not helpful and I cannot remove the exposure I experienced.

Pros: Location, price, staff and views were all hard to beat. This used to be a Holiday Inn but was recently renovated to be a Wyndham. It's a lot nicer now. Balcony furniture was also a very nice feature.

Pros: The hotel is well situated overlooking the bay. Be sure to get a bay view room. Otherwise you could stay at any non-view hotel for less.

Pros: The hotel was clean and was in a great location. We ran the San Diego Marathon and you couldn't get closer to the end of the race. The room was nice and big. It was mostly enjoyable.
Cons: The pool and facilities seem a little dated and maybe need some freshening up. The rooms in the tower we were in (Tower III) could all be interconnected. The room next to us had very young children and we could hear every last thing they said through the adjoining door. Not really the kids' fault per se, but something to be aware of if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. Parking at the hotel was kind of a pain.
