The Guild Hotel, San Diego, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

"Courtyard facing room was quiet and spacious. Hotel is very modern. We also hosting a meeting in the boardroom downstairs. Staff was delightful. The only con is they have stairs when you come in - not convenient for luggage or wearing high heels"

"This is my first time in California and one of the stops I made was San Diego. I saw this place online and booked it. Loved the ambiance, the location and the fact that they have their own signature soaps and scents. I had a great stay overall. The only thing I did not like was the food, I ordered steak frites and it was very unpleasant. Steak was overcooked and mushy. But still an overall great experience. The reason that I gave this place a bad rating was because of the response from customer service when I had an issue with the charges I had after check out. I only signed for one dinner tab and when I checked out and saw the final bill. I saw multiple charges that I did not make and when I sent multiple emails to their team about obtaining receipts they were not very responsive and made 0 effort to give me a resolution. If you do stay, I caution you to keep tabs of your receipts and your tab because they will not help resolve anything after you leave:)"

"Having stayed in many hotels last night had horrible incident. After awesome night with friends tried to come back to enjoy cocktail after dinner before going to bed. Was verbally bullied by two liberal ladies after just trying to be nice. The bar staff two nights in a row were also rude."

"Great for a quick getaway. Hotel Service ~ Staff was amazing - welcoming and very helpful. Room ~ I loved the aesthetic of the hotel and the rooms. There was a wedding going on during one of our nights there and you can hear the music blasting in the hallways BUT not in your room - so that was impressive. My only gripe was there was a past guests hair on the wall in the shower. Everything else in the room was clean and I felt comfortable. Restaurant ~ Very very casual service, but everything was delicious. Coffee, smoothie, breakfast was great. Popped in for dessert during dinnertime and it was yummy but a bit pricey. Other ~ They have a sort of activity package that was fun. Bikes, pool and gym access, and free admission to the art museum in balboa park were some of the things included. Overall, had a lovely weekend and would stay here again!"

"I’d like to add my review to the mix. The Guild Hotel has ruined my hotel stays going forward. Let me explain. I travel for work and spend 3 weeks a month in a Marriott hotel. I enjoy Marriott and have good stays often. This however was an experience. The hotel ingeniously offers a daily amount you can use in the restaurant and bar “ mine was $35, not sure if it’s fluctuates “ I usually work and end up grabbing food and back in my room but since I had the money I came down to the Guild Bar. I sat at the bar and ordered a beer which is my go to when I am not sure what kind of quality I am going to get. Then I watched the bartenders in action. They were all so creative and excited to make drinks and share what they have changed with each other. This gave me the confidence to allow the bartenders to take me on a journey through their drinks. I asked them 1 after another to make me their signature drinks. They did not disappoint. I ended up coming down nightly and engaged with the bartenders and patrons of the bar. The energy was fantastic. The drinks were top notch. I ended up going over the $35 nightly but was happy to do that given the top tier quality experiences I kept having. Don’t sleep ok The Guild. Make it a point to Come here. The rest of the hotel staff were amazing. 1 complaint would be the floor of the shower is incredibly slippery and almost took me out once. My last complaint would be the only parking options are a steep daily valet price or a $25 parking garage around the corner. I hope in the future they provide a validation for parking to cover some of it. Thank you Guild Hotel"
