My wife & I stayed at the Andaz as part of our honeymoon, and I was blown away with the attention to detail, respect... for loyalty, and luxury Hyatt has created here.It started at check in with a great, responsive front desk & valet team. Offered a free alcoholic beverage. Of all the hotels we stayed at during our honeymoon, this was the only one who did something special (and left us an entire bottle of champagne!). The room we stayed in was spacious and on the top floor. Rooftop is beautiful and gives great views of the city (great place to get some work done during the day).The two cons people mention is the noise & the parking cost. The location is essentially the cause of both of these, so don’t go into it with false expectations. You’re staying at one of the most expensive and popular parts of San Diego, right across from many popular bars (check out Coin-Op). Things were loud, particularly on the weekends, but the hotel gives you a white noise machine and ear plugs. Bars get quiet around 10-11 on weekdays and 12-1 on weekends, but we’re night owls and weren’t bothered much. The hotel is a sexy (shower had a glass viewing wall into the bedroom), modern place to spend a few nights around a popular nightlife district — not a family-centered, quiet part of town.read more

Fairly slow service for simple things like an extra pillow or a robe (45-60 minutes), and then bang and yell repeatedly... when it takes more than 5 seconds to get to the door.They also charge a $30 extra fee for a selection of random choice benefits which aren’t all that appealing, and they will not refund you or accommodate you if you can’t use any of them (and no tote bag in the room).It really just seemed like they don’t care which is too bad considering we wanted a fun night in a nice place for an evening and it just turned into an overpriced headacheread more

Pro tip: even if you don’t want to pay few hundreds a night to stay at this super convenient hotel, come at night and... enjoy the roof top bar. A must see.Location, Location, Location this little hotel is right in the heart of the gaslight district with all the fun bars and restaurants you hear so much about. The room is a bit small but nicely designed and updated. One little suggestion to the hotel; put some nice designed hooks or shelves in the bathroom so it’s useful, Clean design is not enough.🤫To save $$ we park our car few blocks away, their valet service is toooo expensive.read more

Overall good experience with nice rooms, helpful staff, and convenient location.The rooftop is awesome when it’s... open, but that’s only when the restaurant is open. This alone is strange since the roof features a pool and several seating areas that should be available even while the restaurant is closed.Also strange is how the rooftop restaurant closes at 9pm every night (even on weekends). Nobody at the property was able to explain why it closes so early. The website states the limited service is due to “local mandate and government restrictions”, yet no such mandate or restrictions existed in January 2022.I definitely recommend checking out this Andaz property, just don’t be surprised by the limited availability of the rooftop area.read more

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in San Diego. Our king suite was beautiful and spotless, beds and pillows and... towels so comfortable, and every interaction with team members was so personal, helpful and easy! I went to a conference at the Marriott while my partner worked remote in the room…no complaints about the reliable WiFi. Rooftop pool was exceptional. Cold brew on tap in the lobby sang like a sirens song to us everyday and was so appreciated! Thank you for the wonderful stay and work break in a big city from Alaska! Keep it up!read more

Hands down one of the best hotels I have stayed at. Prime location to all the shops and restaurants in the Gaslamp. As... we checked in we were greeted with a fresh cold beer or glass of wine! The staff especially one of the managers Michael Cochran was so friendly and made you feel so welcome and were extremely accommodating. The rooms were very elegant and super clean! I would recommend this place to everyone 5 Stars all the way such a gorgeous property!read more

I stayed as a Hyatt Globalist and really enjoyed free breakfast on the rooftop. The roof in general is a really nice... place to hang out and the bar is solid. Location is great if you are planning to go to the bars in the gaslamp district (I was). I would not stay here as a family but I enjoyed it. One of my friends got an exterior suite and the other got an interior suite. I would definitely be upset if I paid for a suite and got an interior one. In my regular room, the bathroom was a bit small and there was a bit of street noise but this is a solid option for San Diego overall.read more

I think Andaz San Diego is a fantastic hotel for those looking to enjoy a nice night out downtown. The hotel itself is... located directly in the centre of downtown—- walking distance to an abundance of establishments, you will find getting to and from the Andaz a breeze! It’s also a less than 10 minutes drive from the beach which is great if you want to hit the beach for a day! The interior is very stylish/modern and everyone is extremely welcoming and friendly! The rooms are also very spacious compared to near by hotels and the Andaz shower is very cool! Please be prepared to pay for valet as parking isn’t included! However, the hotel itself is located directly in the center of downtown so you may not even have the need to grab the car as you’ll likely find yourself too busy exploring all of what downtown has to offer ! I will note that if you are more so looking to relax and wind down for a family outing then you may have better luck at other Hyatt’s outside of downtown as the Andaz really shines as a hotel catering to its perfect vicinity to all of the various food options and nightlife surrounding it. I initially had some minor concerns with this Hotel however the manager Amanda addressed my concerns and truly provided amazing customer service! I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to explore downtown and have a good time with friends.read more

I had to make a reservation at a place I didn't need to make a reservation to. Open Table App says I needed to set... aside a table in order to eat there.The hotel has been there for a long time but like with any other spot that wants survive and evolve, this hotel has rebranded.This time piggy backing off of the STK franchise, it has added a "Rooftop" branch of their famous restaurant. It's not what you might imagine or what they promote.This place is very much like a cafeteria, where you pay upfront, find your own table and wait for someone to bring you your food. Actually Carl's Jr is exactly like this place when it comes to ordering and seating.The difference is, you are 20 floors up, there are people in bathing suits everywhere, cocktail specialists/not bartenders and the food is crafted, not frozen. Do I want to give 5 stars.........yes I do. Maybe when I don't walk around aimlessly for the first 5 minutes, I will!!!!!read more

Hotel bed was very comfortable. Generally nice and in good shape. Roof and pool space fantastic.Problem with the... latter is that it's the only real common area space at which to hang and they book it for events. I actually booked this hotel for the roof and pool area to relax at the end of a long trip. It was a Sunday and I was unable to go. So the space is fun for the attendees if you're having an event, but if you're paying for the hotel in order to have that space, then you may be out of luck.The response from the hotel was that "it is a bummer". So know that you don't necessarily get access to the best part of the hotel when staying here and that they really don't care. For a hotel which promotes that area so much for its guests, kinda poor form and worse response.Rank low as it's misguided to advertise something to a guest they may not get and then the poor customer service around the issue. They email some customers letting them know, but not all depending on how you book, apparently. I was never informed according to the staff.Cleanliness was an issue as well. There was hair all over the bathroom which is a bit gross at any time, but particularly during the pandemic.Update. And despite the statement the response regarding roof top partial opening for guests, a hotel employee was on the roof blocking the entry and plainly stating it was closed for a private event.read more

Will never stay at this hotel again. First off the rooftop bar was closed during the week 2hixh when I called to see if... it was open and that was not mentioned. The bar was open in the morning for breakfast but the rooftop was filthy. Floors look like they hadn't been cleaned in months. No ice in the ice chest on our floor plus the other floors I checked. Room was so small we could barely fit all our luggage in it. We just had a terrible time staying at this place. The staff was at least as helpful as they could be. I blame all of this on management.read more

How weird is it for a hotel to not offer pads or tampons? The workers when asked could only give a stone walled “No”... when asked if their roof top restrooms offered these items. It’s a basic necessity. Their pool party event itself was fun. Get there early if you want a seat. The drinks at the bar were not super strong so stick to canned drinks or beer if you’re looking for something more.read more

What an amazing hotel, with an amazing staff! The front desk employees really go out of their way to help you. The... General Manager answered a email I sent, extremely fast, which is awesome considering how busy managers are especially now. The property has an extremely convenient location right in gas lamp, a little over a mile from little Italy. The only thing I can say negative at all is yes it can be noisy from the street, but that is not the hotels fault and they even provide you with super comfortable ear plugs that makes that issue go away. The staff really makes this hotel in my opinion.read more

Not great for families with young kiddos. Staff is AMAZING and lovely and wonderful but be advised if you’re toting... youngins. Room was nice but did face a wall of other rooms and was around an atrium that funneled up the insanely loud gym-inspired house music from the restaurant below. [Think trays of shots with sparklers]. Kept waking up our one year old. Front desk was so understanding and did best to help but I think this is more the vibe — young things looking to smash and take advantage of the bars just outside and sleep it off next morning. That’s definitely on us for misreading the situation when booking. They did accommodate us super nicely with a pack and play and were so sweet with our little girl. It just wasn’t the right fit for young parents. Also the self Park is in a dodgy public garage that’s a couple blocks walk. but again: everyone who works there is incredible, friendly, professional and helpful. I would say look elsewhere if you got kids and especially on a weekend.read more

The location is great (in terms of walking distance to the gaslamp - but lots of loud homeless right around the corner... - thus the hotel provided ear plugs and sound machine). The rooms are more than just fine. The common areas are clean and contemporary. Maybe we stayed during an unusually loud and raucous weekend - the pool and hallways at night were not tranquil by any means. There's absolutely nothing "wrong" with this place, but it might not be at the top of our return list.read more

This hotel was great! The beds were super comfy and we absolutely loved the walk-in shower. The staff was very... friendly. We asked for a room on the highest floor sobwe could have a view and they accommodated. They also had the pack n play ready for us and sent up a microwave so we could warm up baby food and bottles. The food was delicious and we loved the rooftop pool. We didnt care for the steakhouse next door. Parking is expensive and it's down the street. Also, they charge a destination fee which is similar to a resort fee. There are also some nude portraits in the hotel so be aware if you're traveling with children.read more

We stayed at the Andaz for my birthday and our experience was great from beginning to end. When we got there Kiyomi... checked us in and she was wonderful. She recognized that it was my birthday and when we got back from parking our car and went to our room there was a small bottle of champagne and two glasses waiting for us and she called to make sure that we had received it. Such a thoughtful touch. The hotel is located on F St between 6th and 7th Ave right in the heart of the Gaslamp District. It's right around the corner from all the nightlife and action. It was a great location and the value was good for the price. The hotel has been renovated to have a modern boutique vibe and the room was also modern and comfortable. The bed was also the most comfortable hotel bed I think I have ever slept on. The view from the rooftop is great and looks like they draw a younger crowd there because of the modern vibe of the hotel. There is some noise from the street and the urban location means that there are many homeless people in the area so if those things bother you this may not be a location for you. Parking is down the street from the hotel but they do have valet who seemed to be very attentive. We had parking included in our rate so we were able to self park in the garage down the street. The hotel has a process for validating the parking which seems a little confusing when they first explain it, but it's not hard to figure out. That being said, because of the parking situation I would say that it is probably easier to just Uber/Lyft to places than try to drive and park elsewhere. Our check out from the hotel was very easy and we had no issues. Overall, we loved the Andaz and would definitely stay again in the future.read more

The room was clean and spacious. (We had a deluxe king.) However, I was disappointed in that they placed us right off... the elevator and you could hear everything that everyone was saying as they were coming and going. We weren't going to ask to switch rooms since it was only one night. Regardless, one would hope that they wouldn't put guests in less than ideal rooms when they are no where near capacity. I later realized that they are well aware of the noise level that carries into the rooms because there is a big sign by the elevators that ask people to be quiet (in a nicer manner).Overall, all of the employees that we encountered were nice and professional and the rooms were super clean.read more

Had a nice staycation at the Andaz! Unfortunately because of Covid there were some issues. I understand there needs... to be precautions but they need to be consistent. Didn't understand how there could be a full breakfast available but they wouldn't serve welcome drinks or have happy hour or dinner like they normally do in the same outdoor space. Also asked for glasses, napkins, and a wine opener. So we got plastic glasses that were wrapped, tissue box instead napkins, and the wine opener. The hotel seemed empty, pool all to ourselves, daybeds were nice, room was comfortable and roomy. Bathroom was modern but the shower and toilet dripped. Nice desk setup. TV on the wall was nice but couldn't be moved to watch it comfortably from the sofa. Overall a decent stay.read more

This review is specifically for the roof top.My family from OC came to visit and they often stay in downtown. They... said the service and rooms are way better here than Hilton!We went to the rooftop for breakfast. Nice outdoor patio on one side and then a small 3foot pool and cabanas on the other end. The view was also nice.For a second, we forgot we were in downtown surrounded by homeless population. Once you enter the lobby and go to the pool, the decor is modern chic. You get to vacation in style.read more

Hotel is nicely updated. They are doing their best with covid and it's super appreciated. The room are pretty small no... frills for a modern concept. The pool is also small but typically a part spot if it wasn't 2020. That said for the price I feel that they could have modernized a lil more. Food is serviced by STK downstairs so it's good but no frills menu. Def worth a stay if you're visiting but I'd compare to similar like Pendry etc.read more
