Went to San Diego with my wife during memorial day. The city and the location of the hotel is beautiful. The hotel facilities are great, the rooms will let you down. They are old and they show it. Same thing with the bathroom. On the bright side the service is excellent and I liked the bar at the top. I... more

Stayed here August 2008 for a conference. Hotel has great location, within walking distance to Gaslamp restaurants, bayfront boardwalk. Just a $12 cab ride to Balboa Park and Zoo. I agree with other reviewers that this ginormous place is a little hard to negotiate. Food is priced at typical overinflated hotel prices. Highlights of the stay were the fantastic view... more

Stayed for 3 nights on business in Aug in a standard double bed guestroom. The beds are comfortable but the rooms are starting to look a little "tired". I forsee a renovation in the next couple of years from Mr Manchester. There is wireless and wired internet in the room ($9.95 per 24hrs) and also an Ihome ipod docking station/alarm... more

Family of 4 stayed at the Hyatt for 3 nights 8/13-8/16. Room on 22nd floor was nothing fancy but clean and comfortable with a great view of bay. Decent size bathroom. Maid service kept up room great. Common areas of hotel are beautiful. Pool area is nice with extras for the kids like pingpong tables, foose ball and hula hoops.... more

Stayed here for a conference. This place, with its lobby of huge faux-woodland murals, its gallery of pictures of 'Papa Doug' with buddies like Arnold and Katherine Harris, among others, and its pretensions of glamour and sophistication, rings hollow. The pretensions end at the elevators - the room was 'average' to say the least. Will not go back. more

A big plus for this property is its location. The housekeeping staff did a great job keeping the room tidy and the staff at the parking garage were friendly. As I was staying at the hotel for a conference held there and it being summer vacation season, the garage ran pretty full and parking was difficult during the first few... more

I know this hotel has mixed reviews - maybe we just got lucky, but we couldn't have been happier with our stay. Great location, large, clean, well appointed room (we got two double beds, so maybe got a larger room?), twice a day maid service, great views and quiet from the 37th floor. We paid about $125/day including Priceline's fee... more

Had the pleasure of staying at the Manchester Hyatt for a business trip recently and it is the perfect San Diego Hotel for many reasons. The location being the best reason, close to the Gaslamp, Petco, the USS Midway, etc. You can walk everywhere or take the street trolley. Pool, conciege, gym are all top notch except that they let... more

My family and I stayed at the Manchester Grand Hyatt for 7 nights this month. We had two rooms, both of which were very clean and comfortable. It is a very large hotel - lots of conference attendees where there during our visit, not many families. Staff was friendly and attentive. Fabulous view of San Diego Bay! 4th floor pool... more
