New beginnings at the US Grant. . .our first family memories
It was 4th of July weekend 2009 and my new family enjoyed our first vacation together at The US Grant.
My husband, Derick, and I were married Feb 14th, 2009 and chose San Diego for our first family vacation together as a real family. We each have a little boy, Tyler and Jared, who are now both seven and we spent the weekend visiting the USS Midway, Balboa Park, and Sea World. The US Grant was the idle resting place for recouping from our long days with small children, yet the hotel and staff made our stay much more than just a place to sleep.
Most might say this isn’t a place kids would enjoy but I have to say my boys couldn’t have been happier anywhere else. We arrived to a wonderful upgraded room in a Signature Suite with welcome goodies of chocolate covered bananas as well! The suite was delightful, plenty of room for the entire family and beds I wish every hotel would have. We had planned to leave and watch the fireworks outside the evening of the 4th of July, but the room was just so comfortable we snuggled up and watch the show on the large flat screen TVs. We opened the windows slightly and could hear the fireworks being set off.
The spacious room also allowed my new husband and I to have a little romance, after tucking the boys into bed, we ordered room service and made a late night picnic of cheese and wine on the living room floor.
Every time we departed and returned the staff were all so warm and welcoming. This has to be the most helpful staff I have ever encountered. They truly go out of their way to make guests happy.
The luxury property left a lasting impression on our entire family & we all hope to return soon. My boys still often talk about the hotel, our great room with the huge bathroom shower, and oh so comfortable beds and we’ll never forget our family time together snuggling up in bed and watching the fireworks.
I never got a chance to thank everyone involved for helping make this first family trip together an incredibly memorable experience, especially Mark and Demi. It’s not always easy traveling with small children & making sure everyone is happy & comfortable. The US Grant far exceeded our expectations in every way and we will always remember our first stay at the property.
Kind Regards,
Heather, Derick, Tyler, & Jared
