San Diego’s waterfront airport lies northwest of downtown, which is home to the San Diego Convention Center, PetCo Park stadium, and the Gaslamp Quarter’s. That historic neighborhood’s restaurants and bars are the hub of the city’s nightlife. Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo form a green swath in this urban jungle. Offshore, Coronado Island offers postcard views of the city skyline.

The room was great -- spacious and well appointed. The bathroom was lovely. The only ding I would give is the shower was not as clean as it should have been (drain emitted unpleasant odors). But, I would definitely go back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Long Weekend Away"
We enjoyed this hotel and its convenient location. Room was luxurious and very nice. It is on the trolley and bus routes for going to all of the popular places. We could walk to the pier and the restaurants there. Nice walk to the Midway Carrier and ferry to Coronado Island. There is a Corner Bakery and French Bakery about a block away and some nice […] shopping. Also close to the Gas Lamp district. Highly recommended. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Perfect location! Steep cost for valet parking. $35 per night to park - YIKES!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Horton Plaza., Gas Lamp,"
My wife and I stay at only two hotels in San Diego and this is one of the two. The U.S. Grant is an old iconic hotel which is right in the middle of where you want to be in San Diego. It is always clean and the staff is very friendly making sure you are taken care of. Though this hotel is very pricey, being so close to everything makes up for it since […] we didn't rent a car and we either walked or took public transit, which is very efficient in SD. My only complaint of this hotel is the price, but it is so nice I really can't complain. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lovely historic hotel"
We stayed overnight to catch a nearby concert. Fabulous location; very easy to get to using public transportation. The hotel is beautifully restored with elegant rooms. Very luxurious and comfy beds, nice amenities. Some of the woodwork/mouldings in our room were grimy. Only real complaint was the demolition noise across the street that started at 7 […] a.m.; it sounded like WWI in our room. Would stay again in a heartbeat once construction is done, though!

"not as goo as it looks"
It was a great location, but the carpet in halllways and rooms was EXTREMELY stained and dirty. There was a smell of urine on the floor I stayed on. I was very disappointed with the lack of help when I checked in. We asked to stay in joining room and wait about 4 hours for this to happen and they still didn't make this happen. No one offered to help […] with our bags when we checked in. The air conditioner in my room didn't work very well it was always hot in my room. I don't feel that this hotel should have a rating of 5 stars. The only good thing about this hotel was the location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Great classy hotel, decor and ambiance is beautiful, location is perfect, staff was great, reception/lobby is grand. However, our room is a bit noisy from the construction, traffic, and probably lack of proper insulation since we can hear people's voices from the hallway. Also, for a 5 star hotel, there is no pool, not sure if there was a gym either […] :( Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
A beautiful, elegant hotel with impeccable service. While the hotel exudes old world charm, the rooms are comfortable and modern, with the exception that the air conditioning didn't keep the room cool enough at night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great historical hotel in ideal location!"
Loved staying at this hotel. The rooms are comfy and the staff is very accommodating and super friendly. They go above and beyond. It's in a great location. Close to all the downtown/ Gaslamp attractions. I was impressed! Love the history of this hotel, too. The over night parking is pricey, but being a native San Diegan and familiar w/ downtown, I […] parked very close with no problems. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Making lemonade out of lemons"
During our stay my wife sprained her ankle off property at dinner. the hotel staff responded bringing ice throughout the night, found a wheelchair for her use the next morning, recommended an urgent care center, and in general went way out of their way to be helpful. The dinner in the Grant Grille was the best we had the entire visit. We were in San […] Diego to celebrate our 25th anniversary, the hotel went made it special despite our mishap at the end. We will go out of our way to stay there again and recommend it highly. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Details count"
This hotel has a great history and appears to provide a luxurious experience. This was my second time staying at this hotel because my first experience was phenomenal. This time around there was a slight difference, employees were courteous and helpful as usual but other details were missed. I was on the fourth floor and the first thing I noticed walking […] through the hallway was a subtle smell of mildew. Once I got in the room everything looked normal until I had to use the phone to order room service, it didn't work! Then I went to use the TV and that too didn't work! An engineer was sent to the room to fix both problems in a matter of minutes. I also expressed my concern to the front desk at check out. Overall this hotel is great but I am concerned with some aspects of their maintenance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Holiday Bowl trip"
If you love historic hotels like we do, this is the place for you right in the heart of the Gaslamp District. The restoration is beautiful and they have done a good job documenting the history of the hotel in an exhibit in what used to be the carriage entrance. Not well marked but worth the time to see are the photos on the lower level and if you keep […] wandering you will find the Crystal Ballroom which is spectacular. The Harbor area is an easy one mile walk but the trolley stop is also right behind the hotel. You can walk to the Midway and the Surprise and also to Horton Plaza for shopping and the Gaslamp for jazz and partying the night away...no driving. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I only mention thie following because another reviewer had a similar issue. We asked for late check out but housekeeping came knocking at 8:00am. We were up and on our way out so not an issue for us but I could see (as another reviewer pointed out) if I had spent a night drinking in the Gaslamp, the 8am wake up call would have been unpleasant. All in all, loved this hotel and will defiantly stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice stay, for an older hotel"
Really great friendly staff, room service was prompt and on time. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Room was small but clean and cozy. Only complaint is that there were weird stains on the floors in the halls. We thought we were walking in a haunted hotel. I think that if they updated their floors and just a couple things here and there, they could really […] up the rating easily. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Worst room I've stayed, great location!"
When I booked our hotel I specifically requested a room with a city view. Instead we received a room that felt like we are in dungeon and our window was facing a window of other room. Didn't get any sun in our room and was very hard to tell what time it is. also had to keep our curtains closed at all times as it felt that we are sharing our room with […] someone else (that's how close we were to the room that our window was facing). Restroom is right in a middle of your bedroom. When you open your bathroom door it can touch your bed. Another thing that was very inconvenient about it that bathroom door was a glass and it was see through. I also saw a review saying that street noise wasn't problem at all. Really, because I could hear it all, thank god I grew up in a city so it didn't bother me much. Other then that service was good. We requested to clean our room and they send two person to clean up. Was very fast and they called us several times to make sure it was done. Location is great, right in a middle of everything: restaurants, clubs and bars. You can walk and no need for car. Watch out for parking, it is $35.00. Try to find closer parking for cheaper price if you don't want to pay full amount for Valet Parking. I would recommend this hotel only in one condition if you have better room that we did, as most important part for me is our room and not much of service of concierge as I don't see them much and I am there to enjoy my stay not a company of concierge.

"Great Location ! Gaslamp close to evetyhing."
Let's start with WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT : Great front desk guest service, warm welcome from the the valet guys. THE BAD PART OF IT : The bell boy was nice and courteous but he grabbed our luggage put them on the rack and took us to the front desk, I tipped him $ 5 and then he disappeared.We had to push the luggage cart to our room :( . The room was very […] nice, but on our way to our room (3rd floor ) we noticed on some of the walls a LOT OF WHITE SCUFF MARKS (the walls are blue with prints on them ). The room does NOT offer coffee for the next morning and our BATHROBES had ripped belts on them. Later on that night, my wife and I decided to get some desert and my wife loves CHEESE CAKE, SORRY the restaurant does not carry CHEESE CAKE :( for the quality of hotel they are claiming to be they need to pay more attention to detail !

"Great couples escape"
The hotel was beautiful and the staff was amazing! Our room was outstanding, especially the bathroom. The shower was a big as my entire bathroom at home. The only negative thing I could say about the room is that the bed could have been a little softer. Great location. My husband and I can't wait to go back!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Location and Top notch service"
Normally I shy away from reviews but the US Grant definitely deserves this praise. I travel a lot for work but I was taken back by this hotel's amazing service and attention to detiail. The hotel itself is historic, beautiful and although it is contempary and remodeled, it has an undeniable rustic feel. Beautiful windows and views. Probably one of the […] best hotels I've stayed at. Very clean and comfortable, and i'm pretty sure they service the room twice a day. I know this because when I came back from a late night happy hour, i had a mat and complimentary slippers at my bedside. Definitely made my evening! It is in the heart of downtown close to plenty of resturants, petco park & nightlife... all walkable. Great hotel and definitely deserved my time in reviewing.

"Classic downtown San Diego hotel"
Excellent choice for downtown San Diego Hotel! Very charming and classic feel. The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

"Great for couples or groups"
My boyfriend and I just LOVE this place, I highly recommend it! The decor in the lobby, the suites, and the standard rooms are all beautiful, and the bed linens and fittings are amazing (which is a must). The rooms are quiet and spaced out, which is also important. My standards are always met by the excellent staff & service at the US Grant Hotel!

We were only there for an overnite stay. Great locatio in a clean safe area., The staff was very attentive and accomidating. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was spacious and well appointed. Our only concern was that the AC register was caked in dust. Not a deal breaker--- but somethimg a 5 star hotel should not have. We pointed it out and received […] a monetary credit on our bill when the service staff did not take care of it as promised. Over all --- a very nice stay! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed our stay and would stay their again. It's in a great location and everyone on the staf was very friendly and informative. $35 night for parking seemed a bit high, but then I don't know the area so it may be the norm. There were a couple of minor things we noticed as an fyi: Light bulb was out over bed & could not get water in sink to become […] cold (always hot). But enjoyed our stay & would stay their again!

"Less than I expect from Starwood"
The "Superior King" room while nicely appointed is cramped relative to cost. Amenities missing from the room include basics like coffee. My particular room had a reoccurring unpleasant odor that was really noticeable when you first came in and then less so overtime but it persisted throughout the stay. I am a frequent Starwood guest and would have to […] say this is my least favorite to-date. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
