"Maya, the Front Office Supervisor, made my weekend magical. Maya listened, hustled, solved and corrected a snafu with my dinner and did all she could do from then through check out. I spent an amazing weekend at the customer first, self-contained, a well-appointed and clean room, with a cozy balcony, beautiful view of the harbor, hand held shower wand, USB outlets on every wall and strong tasting coffee pods, The Sheraton also has the most efficient and quickest check in and check out process ever. I highly recommend and I’ll return to The Sheraton San Diego Resort."
