Lounge is on the 33rd floor of the older looking Harbor Tower, the one closer to the Marriott and Convention Center. Keycard access required and staff usually ask room numbers for breakfast and happy hour. $25 fee for bringing a guest to the lounge. There's apparently 24/7 keycard access for coffee, bottled water, computer use, etc. One bank of elevators serves floors 1-4 (meeting space, pools, etc.) and floors 29-40 (there's a view bar on 40 as well as a few rooms) while the other elevator bank on the Harbor side serves floors 1-4 and the lower room locations.
Breakfast ends at 9:30 weekdays, 11:00 weekends. Every day I saw bacon and some sort of sausage, hot eggs (scrambled plus trimmings to be added), raw ham, smoked salmon, croissants/bagels/bread varieties to be toasted, some cereal, IIRC oatmeal.
Midday snacks from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm weekdays, 11:30 am to 3:30 pm weekends.
Happy hour is from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm every day, with a selection of *free* wine and beer between 5 and 6, followed by the same wine and beer offered in the form of an honor bar from 6 to 9. Each day the food presentation includes a hot protein (cilantro chicken, grilled teriyaki salmon fillet big pieces, chicken putensca, and salmon cakes during my stay), hot mixed vegetable dish, some other cold/salad dish of the day, salad bar including slices of chicken breast, asparagus, olives, etc. with two dressings of the day, and interesting small cakes (cupcakes or pieces) for dessert.

Also, I talked with some people at the club when I was there that were offered access for $60-$75 a day at checkin. I assume this is done when the hotel knows they aren't at capacity in the club.

This hotel is located downtown, on the waterfront, and adjacent to the Convention Center. That means parking spots are hard to come by. There may be cheaper paid lots in the area but I can't recommend anything specific.

Last time I stayed at this property with a car, I used ParkWhiz to reserve a parking spot for like $8/day but it was 8 blocks away from the hotel.

I'm looking at this property for 2 adults, 3 kids ages 12-17 for a stay in mid July..
I'm looking at the signature suite but I'm having problems telling how many beds/sofa beds are in a SS.
the room details shows the following:
This spacious 1,040 sq ft suite offers a living space with large dining and seating areas and connects to one standard king or double bed room. Located on floors 4 – 9.
Am I to presume that is ONE double bed? Do these suites come with two doubles & a pullout couch which is what I'm seeking.
The hospitality suite states the following (and this is when I input 1 room, 2 adults, 3 kids)
This spacious suite offers a 1,050 sq ft living space with large dining and seating areas connected to one 340 sq ft premium view king or double bed room.
If not possible at the SS, is it available at the higher level suites?
I'm paying cash for the room, do not have any status and my search for a suite with at least 3 beds (inc sofa beds) in SD is based on location location location.
thanks

It's a living room plus a regular connecting guest room. You can get the connector as either a king or two doubles. I don't believe there's a sofa bed.

There is a HUGE amount of space in the living room. My kids liked taking a couple couch cushions to make "floor beds"

Why "Manchester"?
A San Diego native and I couldn't figure this out and now it's bothering me. Why is it called the "Manchester" Grand Hyatt? Is that the old name of the hotel prior to flagging? Or is Manchester some geographical feature nearby?

Thanks for the informative response!
Clearly not. I'm sure San Diegans that don't care about hotels, San Diegans who are little children, and many others group easily make "all" a bad presumption.
