Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

We had our wedding reception here last November and loved how everything turned out. The venue itself was beautiful; we were extremely happy with the ballroom, guest rooms, and all the amenities. Our ballroom had a a great view as well which the guests were able to enjoy during cocktail hour. The staff was excellent; very courteous, friendly and easy to work with. We had the pleasure of working with Jonathan DeFreitas and we couldn't say enough positive things about our experience. We worked w/ Maria Santana for our accommodations. She did a great job; even with last minute reservations, they were able to accommodate us. The honeymoon suite was amazing w/ beautiful views. Grateful to all the staff there for making our special day so memorable. Highly recommend this venue.

We set up a block of rooms at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in SD for our wedding in May. Every employee we encountered at the hotel was wonderful! They were especially accommodating when a guest who chose stay at another hotel wanted to switch over to the Grand Hyatt after seeing how beautiful the hotel is. The Booking Staff was able to make it happen right away! Thank you for the personalized service and for taking care of my guests!

I saw an ad for the Manchester Grand flash by on Orbitz while looking for places to stay on our honeymoon. After a little bit of researching, we decided this was totally the place. We were given a military discount (my husband is in the Army) and booked a corner king room for the week. After we were checked in and got up to the room, talk about a view!! It had a great view of the bay and part of the city, and also overlooked the outdoor pool outside. The facility had everything you could possibly image, need, or just think about. There's a great bar up on the 40th floor that has a wrap around view of the whole city, which is amazing at night. The hotel is within walking distance of many sites, and also offer bicycle rentals for those that are a few miles off. They also have directions to catch the trolley or buses for all the tourists attractions like the Zoo and SeaWorld. Overall, great service and an absolutely amazing hotel. The staff was top-notch and very diverse coming from all parts of the world. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and knew the city pretty well so were able to suggest a number of places for us to visit besides all the main tourist places. Highly recommend any newly-weds to stay here for at least a week and just take it all in. Can't wait to stay there again, possibly for an anniversary trip?

It is often said the two biggest fears people have are death and public speaking. But what those researchers who developed the list have markedly omitted is one of the biggest fears of all … getting married! For a bride and groom to plan a wedding there are a significant amount of worries, but often overlooked is finding the perfect hotel accommodations for both you and your guests. As a frequent traveler and a long term Hyatt Hotel Diamond Global Passport member, over the years I have become somewhat of a “hotel snob”. I recognize the importance of staying at a hotel that is in a good location, has a clean and comfortable room, and a professional and knowledgeable staff all at a reasonable price. Granted, it is easy enough to worry about booking a room for myself; however, the stress level becomes magnified when trying to also satisfy wedding guests who are used to staying at 4-star and 5-star hotels. Now add in the fact of personally wanting a hotel suite to thrill my bride-to-be and the situation becomes as dire as obtaining front row tickets to a Los Angeles Lakers playoff basketball game and sitting next to Jack Nicholson! With our destination wedding planned on November 24, 2010 in San Diego, California, finding the perfect hotel accommodations was paramount. From downtown to the beach, the city of San Diego and its outlying areas offer a wide variety of hotels. Although there is an advantage with such a wide selection, there is also a disadvantage of trying to cut down that list. Ironically, after an extensive search over several months, our choice of hotels were reduced down to two – the Hyatt at Mission Bay and the San Diego Manchester Grand Hyatt. My long time experience with the Hyatt chain has always been very favorable, so with either choice I knew I was in good hands. Ultimately we decided on the San Diego Manchester Grand Hyatt. And what a fantastic choice it was! From better-than-competitive rates, to the most state-of-the-art on-line wedding reservation tracking system, to large and modern rooms with comfortable bedding, to the highest degree of guest care this hotel is to be commended. And for hotel restaurants, there are not many better than Sally’s! In particular, my wife and I would like to thank and commend Ms. Stephanie Wancheck, the Convention Services Manager, for her outstanding attention to every one of our needs… and even more! Although the Grand Hyatt has over 1,600 rooms, Ms. Wancheck made us feel like we were staying at a much more intimate bed and breakfast. She and her staff’s attention to detail was impeccable. Despite our wedding party being less than 50 guests, Ms. Wancheck was in correspondence with us weekly all the way up to the time of our wedding to ensure everything was going as planned. This allowed us to focus on the other aspects of our wedding. The “place de resistance” was the upgraded hotel suite Ms. Wancheck surprised us with. When we checked in we were upgraded to the Douglas Suite and she made sure our incredible room had a bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries and truffles in our honor! The room wasn’t just an upgrade it was an “up-great”! Once again, thank you to Ms. Wancheck and to all others involved at the Hyatt in helping make our wedding a special occasion and one we will always remember. The Hyatt Hotel’s mission statement is “to be the world’s premier host, creating a great experience for every person every time” and

The location was beautiful, but the staff was sadly unresponsive. They also didnt realize they had another 600 person party at the same time on the balcony below where my wedding was so we had to move the location within the hotel at the last minute. The staff doesnt work together so you have to manage the individual parts, which eliminates the perk of using just one location.

The cake looked liked what I wanted.;Taste could be improved for the price.
