The Westgate is the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s old it’s not shiny and new but I love that about it . If you want to stay in a glass and steel, modern hotel, those are available if you want to feel as if you are staying in an old historical palace this is the place for you

Great property from another era, very vintage feel (classical, even had an afternoon tea time). Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Great location near both the Gaslamp and Little Italy.

The entire hotel smells really bed, including my room. The noise and the quality of the bed made it difficult to sleep. I tossed and turned all night. The staff however was nice!
