Stay Run in San Diego
Hi Folks,
I signed up for the 3 stays 10000 point promotion and I have a 6 night stay in San Diego coming up. I will be at a conference at the Sheraton Marina and so I would like to stay there most of the time. I was thinking I could stay there day 1 and days 2-6. Is there a SPG property nearby where I can hop to for day 2.
Cheers

Yes Downtown San DIego
There is one at 701 A st at Symphony Towers about 4 miles from where
the Harbor Island Hotel is at. It used to be a Marriott and is very nice.
You could stay at the W but it is very pricey and also downtown.
Enjoy your stay and welcome to SAN

Property in San Diego - W or Westin
I Have an upcoming stay in San Diego and am curious which hotel would be a better choice, the W for $289 or the Westin for $189.
What is important to me:
Platinum Suite Upgrades..
Uniqueness & Quality of Room...

Never had an upgrade (or, at least, one I noticed) at the Westin Horton, but it's a nice hotel. Good location.

I stay at both frequently. I prefer the Westin over the W. You stand a much better chance of getting an upgrade. The only problem is that a bunch of rooms in the Westin smell like cat urine. They have a serious problem with dampness caused by airconditioners that leave the carpets wet. You get one free bottle of water.
The problem with the W is that you hardly ever get a suite. The room that my colleagues and I get upgraded to isnt even a full suite. It just has a larger room area and sits in the intersection of the two corridors. Of my ten stays I have only been upgraded once. They also give you a free water, a box of chocolates(sometimes expired) and magazines like wired.
My favourite is the Sheraton. Its in a remote location attached to Symphony Towers. They treat plats the best, two bottles of water, two coupons for drinks per day, breakfast buffet coupon and free internet/local phone calls.
