Andaz San Diego - a concept by Hyatt

R R

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.

I think the price is over-charged. Even though the reception counter staff are very friendly, but the room doesn’t keep up to the standard as charged (with concept by Hyatt!). The most disappointing part is that when 7 of us (we booked 5 rooms for 4 nights) went for breakfast this morning at the hotel, we were not assigned a breakfast table. There were a number of empty round tables but were all reserved for private event with no one around yet. Instead we were asked to have our breakfast at the bar counter which have only 2 available seats. We need to take turn if all of us wanted to have breakfast there. This is really ridiculous and unbelievable. The staff suggested us to walk across the street to have breakfast…. What an experience! We still have 2 more nights. Hopefully this won’t happen again for the next 2 days. Let’s see….

Really noisy outside. Good luck sleeping. Hotel should invest in new windows rather than blaming it on the city. Rooms are nice but already feeling slightly out dated. Pool area on roof looked nice. Gym was way too small.

We had a great stay at the Andaz. All of the staff were really attentive, friendly, and professional. The rooftop was a nice place to start or end your day with pretty good drinks (esp for a hotel bar). The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean. They also treat World of Hyatt members well. The biggest downside was the noise at night due to the hotel's location. It's located in Gaslamp and the bars around the hotel blast music very loud.
