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.

I've been to Donovan's in Phoenix (I think). Can't comment on San Diego, but they seem to do a good job. I'm also admittedly not a huge fan of the concept of a steakhouse, though, just because I'm usually looking for something more interesting.
These days I probably won't take a trip to San Diego without having lunch at Taco Express and dinner at Bencotto, if that says anything about the food I'm interested in finding. I've had really good food at JSix as well, but I hesitate to recommend something I haven't been to in over a year. Hearing good things about Craft and Commerce, so that's on my list to check out when we go in May.
Food is certainly a matter of preference, but to tie it back to GH vs Andaz, both are totally in walking distance of good food. The only thing I'd add is that both are located near some more touristy areas, either on the harbor or in the gaslamp, so it helps to do some research.

platinum ever upgraded to club room?
Traveling with family, wife and I both Platinum, will either book one or two rooms.
Anyone have experience getting upgrades as platinum to club room if standard room is booked, either award or points+cash?
thanks

Has any Diamond ever booked the "Parlor Studio Sofa Bed Only" rate and gotten upgraded to a Grand Club or standard room with a bed?
This rate states the following: "Should you choose to move to a standard room at check-in: based on availability the Hyatt Daily Rate will apply." Not sure if an elite upgrade applies as well...in the past, I've seen similar rates mention no upgrades or similar phrasing.
The rate is ~$90 less than the AAA rate.

It could be a room designed to be a hospitality suite or it could be the living room part of a lock off one bedroom suite. I've seen some with Murphy beds rather than sofa beds.

Just completed a 2 night stay this weekend just hubby and myself both in our 50's for end of summer break, used points and cash $125/ 10000 points, and DSU, got conference suite on 6th floor 631/633, bay and city view.
Great stay , had the amenity and asked for delivery when we checked in, it hadnt arrived after 2 hrs so I called down. Very pleasant person said they would resend it and add on something to make up for delay, they actually added a bottle of wine which was really nice.
Conference suite had 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, one with tub one with shower, big sitting area, with pull out sofa bed kitchen area and large 8 seat table for conferences.
Grand club had nice offerings, just seem to run out of desserts early in evening 8-9pm.
They even seemed to comp parking as it wasnt on bill unless they are going to add it.
Nice stay nice resort, suprised no resort fee especially has somewhere like Newport Beach CA does!
