Top American Plaza Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean, except the tv was not working"

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"This has been my second favorite hotel on the planet since I stayed at it with my husband back in 2019. And my two-night stay while visiting a friend this past weekend did nothing to change that vaulted ranking! It is such a *pristine* place in every way! One's room gets cleaned, straightened, and re-supplied with fresh towels *every* day, pre-pandemic style! The concierge works into the evening hours! A male staffer I contacted via phone only a couple hours after checking in, tracked down the backpack I'd left in the women's restroom on the first floor, and then phoned me up to say he'd found it and put it with the suitcase I'd left at the front desk. The Grant Grill cheerfully made avocado toast customized to my fussy friend's specifications for her breakfast, and then cheerfully replaced the steel cut oats I didn't care for with some drop-dead fabulous whole-grain toast. The valet staff were super friendly as were the housekeepers as was the front desk staff. In short, there was absolutely nothing to be unhappy about during my visit except perhaps the carpet! The 2019 patriotic-themed one was soooooooo much classier than the current blue plaid!"

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"Overall, the property is great!!! Did have a bit of an issue when attempting to check in the first time. The lady was a bit short when letting me know they were extremely busy and there may be a delay in getting to check in. I was a little early arriving to the property at approximately 3:30 pm. Was told it would be over an hour before my room would be ready. I thanked her and told her we would wait in the lobby. Anyhow, not the biggest dealbreaker."
