Great Location; Average Convention Type Accomodations
If you want to be near downtownSan Diego, the convention center, and/or Seaport Village, the location of this hotel is great, and many of the rooms have water views. However, the rooms are very standard without some of the amenities you would expect for a Grand Hyatt. There are no makeup mirrors, the lighting is very dim in the rooms and bathrooms, the shower and hair dryer blast you with water/air. There is no free wifi anyplace on the hotel site. Things are dated and worn. Right now all of the shops save an art shop which is going out of business are closed. New owners have purchased the property; so, perhaps they are planning renovations. The hotel needs them.
On the plus side, service in the restaurants and check-in was professional and friendly, and the beds were quite comfortable with large duvets. The concierge desk was eager to help, knowledgable and had good local maps for restaurants and shopping. The breakfast buffet, while expensive, was excellent with a wide selection of hot and cold items.
