The hotel

In the heart of the Gaslamp District, the Andaz is a sophisticated yet simple hotel offering the very best in accommodation and entertainment. The rooftop is the place to be– it’s not only home to a beautiful swimming pool and sundeck, its where you’ll find San Diego’s largest rooftop bar with DJs spinning the latest tunes whilst you sip cocktails and admire panoramic views of the downtown skyline. If you feel the need for a work-out, the gym is open 24-hours. A lovely place to while away the evening, afterwards you can head to RoofTop600 on the weekends. San Diego’s myriad attractions are all close by, including great shopping at Horton Plaza, just 2 blocks away.

Room 307 was very small, had a diabolical glass partition, smelled funky, and featured a view of the homeless shelter next door. The service was friendly enough and the location handy to most downtown things. We walked about 20min to a concert at Rady Shell with plenty of things to do along the way. Just don't walk the other way. I did not… Read more
Room 307 was very small, had a diabolical glass partition, smelled funky, and featured a view of the homeless shelter next door. The service was friendly enough and the location handy to most downtown things. We walked about 20min to a concert at Rady Shell with plenty of things to do along the way. Just don't walk the other way. I did not understand the room layout at all. We ran into the glass 'wall' several times at night. The door to the toilet/shower closet was awkward. I get it, they're trying to do a lot in a small space but this design isn't it. The room smelled of the load of laundry you forgot about in the washer and felt pretty used. This stay served its need. Not bad. Not spectacular. Totally adequate...but I think it markets itself as something above what it is. Read less

Our experience was great! The front desk staff was very helpful and happy to help! The rooftop staff was not as attentive and they were not busy when we visited on a Saturday morning. We were one of three parties there at the time. I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you are a light sleeper since you can hear the music from the bars. They… Read more

We were one of three parties there at the time. I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you are a light sleeper since you can hear the music from the bars. They provide earplugs. Luckily we didn't have to use them since we didn't mind a little noise. Overall, we had a great time. Read less

Very noisy location. Room not as clean as one would expect from a Hyatt. And it is in a very noisy part of the area. Staff made excuses and told me “it is what it is”! For the price, I would have expected better.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Not worth it

Do not stay here. It’s $500 a night for a filthy and outdated property. Chairs and sofas are stained and service is sub par.

The room was clean, but small. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is nice and the terrace bar has good food and a nice bar, although expensive. The hotel is centrally located and walking distance to everything in Gaslamp and the convention center. The elevators were nice, but one of them had a strong smell of urine (maybe pets?).

The hotel is centrally located and walking distance to everything in Gaslamp and the convention center. The elevators were nice, but one of them had a strong smell of urine (maybe pets?). The hotel is located next to a small homeless congregation area. The City needs to do something about the homeless, as they are taking over the City. Parking is very expensive ($69/per night) not included in the cost. Read less
