“The Guild's historic bones as a former YMCA give it a soul that's rare among downtown hotels. Its central location means San Diego's best is a stroll away, but the building's reimagined spaces, like the basketball court turned ballroom, might tempt you to stay put. I'd say it's a smart choice for travelers who want a bit of history with their luxury.”
