An excellent escape from reality
Flying in from Minneapolis, MN I had no idea what to expect as I usually find accommodations with Hilton or Marriott. I had never previously stayed with a Starwood property & thanks to the W San Diego, I have a preference change. I'm a very picky guest in my mind...the type who doesn't let go of errors easily and would rather just try another venue...however this property caught me off guard. 
From the "Good Morning" "Good Afternoon" "Good Evening" elevator mats to the modern elegance of the lobby to the staff and cleanliness of my room...I was impressed. There was no dust, hair, garbage, damages or anything else of the sort to be found in my room. Every time I was faced with a housekeeper, they smiled and asked if there was anything they could get for me and whether my room was satisfactory. The housekeeper which I saw most regularly was "Diana" and she is an excellent example of quality hospitality within the industry. Also must also extend a special thanks to Stephen at the Front Desk (Apologies should spelling be incorrect) who found me a cell charger, helped me with dinner recommendations and directions, and was courteous in our every other encounter. I also ordered room service which was delicious and arrived very quickly after I had placed my order. Lastly, when I couldn’t find the gym, one of the ladies behind the Front Desk walked out and said it would be her pleasure to escort me as it may be a little confusing to explain…talk about going above and beyond. 
I was working 12 hour days and when I got back to the hotel, all I wanted was to shower and relax. Maybe take a nap without being disturbed and perhaps check my emails in the lobby while I had a drink.
Thank you to everyone at the property who made my stay so pleasant. Next time I visit San Diego this property will be the first one I call.
