50th Anniversary Celebration
We were looking for a destination, close to our home in Carlsbad, just to get away for a couple of days and to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We decided that the US Grant would be an ideal site to do just that. After making the reservations, we spoke with Sergio at the front desk, told him why we were coming south and inquired about the possibility of an upgrade. Sergio couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. He asked if he couldn't call us back in an hour while he contacted his supervisor. In about an hour he called back to tell us that they had upgraded us to a suite. We were obviously very pleased. We found the whole two-day experience at the US Grant to be delightful. All the staff, from the concierge, the front desk, the bellmen, the valet personnel, etc. were extremely professional and friendly. The US Grant is beautifully located right on the trolley line and we took advantage of that to visit the USS Midway Museum, go on a GOcar ride through the Little Italy area and then to Seaport Village. We also strolled down to the Gas Lamp area and Horton Plaza. Our anniversary dinner was in the Grant Grill and it was an excellent meal with outstanding service. The whole hotel is beautifully and tastefully done and we appreciated the fine and friendly service.
