Top American Plaza Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for the price, the staff were wonderfully, and the room service was very good. The space itself has a lovely, cozy atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. I'll absolutely be returning!"

The Westin San Diego Bayview

2/10 Terrible

"I requested to speak with a manager regarding additional fees that aren’t on the invoice that were charged after I left the property when I asked if she has my invoice up she advised no and told me someone else was on the line and put my on hold. Terrible Customer service when I asked if she still has my invoice up to confirm my number and email she said no. I’ve booked with Westin before and never received this type of service before"
