Keep your distance from the food & bev mang., she's an alcy'..... -
Recommending the Thanksgiving buffet. Loads of food, all excellent quality. Soooo full. -
Superb hotel. Only downside, $11.99 a day for wifi in your room ! Free in the lobby but still rather cheeky.

GREAT PRICING FOR BIG SUITE AT A LUXURIOUS HOTEL
if you want to stay at a luxury hotel, this is the place to stay! This hotel was soooo REASONABLE PRICED, it was not even funny, i was shocked at how much we got a Suite! Of course the Penthouse was waay Las Vegas pricing, but for an upgraded Suite compared to a regular room was FABULOUS! The hotel was recently renovated in the millions. The entry area was wooooo's and ahhhhh's.. it was Fabs! it was soo classy. The walk ways to the rooms were plush! My feet were in heaven! No joke. When we opened our room, it was dark wooden floors, marble everything, swanky furniture. Though there was some funky Art above the bed but everything else was spectacularus! Its right across from the Horton Plaza and about 5 blocks from the Gas Lamp. About half a mile to the Marina and Seaport Village. Everything is walkable. Bad thing is... THERE IS NO POOL!!! AND Customer service was awful in the conceirge area. They treated everyone as if they were better than them. No joke. Snobs times 1000. So if you can careless about the conceirge, then this is the place to stay for you! BTW, the hotel has two restaurants, pricey, yet tasty. :) Oh they don't have free internet either btw.
Newly remodeled. Very nice.
We stayed at the US Grant for a long weekend after Christmas 2007. A great hotel with a very helpful staff and a surprisingly good restaurant.
Great Hotel Bar
We stayed at the US Grant recently & spent the weekend going to shops & restaurants in downtown San Diego. After several mediocre exeriences, we decided to wind down at the US Grant Hotel Bar & were pleasantly surprised. Not only was the service exceptional, we were impressed by their wine list also. Wines were unique & interesting & served in very nice stemware. Desserts were also delicious. A great end to the day, especially considering we were relaxing with our 2 kids (ages 9months & 11yrs. ) We will return again for sure.
