Hotel Lobby and Grounds
Experience one of the best hotels in San Diego, the Manchester Grand Hyatt. It is ideally located with easy access to all that San Diego has to offer. Seaport Village and cruises on the Bay are right outside their door, and the historic Gaslamp Quarter is within roaming distance. Shuttles are available to wisk you away to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and Balboa Park where you can browse through the museums. Or, you can take a trolley from the station directly across the street from the hotel and get almost anywhere in San Diego (check out the trolley site by clicking here).
As for the hotel itself, you are sure to enjoy the amenities of one of downtown San Diego's grand hotels. The Grand Hyatt is true to the Hyatt tradition of great hospitality and strives to provide everything a guest might need, from arrival to departure. The friendly, professional staff make you feel like you truly belong there and they take every effort to ensure that all of your special needs are meet. The lobby is huge and is designed for access to to all areas including a accessible check-in desk and an accessible concierge station by the bell desk. There are ramps to the ballrooms and conference rooms and easy access to Seaport Village via a ramp at the back of the hotel. Including a lounge on the 40th floor called "Top of The Hyatt".

Hotel Room
The room I reviewed was a standard and had more than enough room in which to maneuver a wheelchair. Everything was easy to reach except for some of the light switches, so pack a grabber to ensure that you can access all of the light switches. There are lots of automated goodies in this room. The drapes are operated by remote control and there is an audio/visual door bell that activates a flicker in the interior room lights when the doorbell is rung (this feature can be deactivated if you do not wish to use it). The thermostat is also accessible and the control is by the desk on the wall. There is a refrigerator, a safe and a coffee maker in the cabinet under the flat screen television. Take a look and see for yourself by clicking on the picture below. For information about additional amenities please click here. If you don't see what you need on this list you can make further inquiry when you make your reservations.
The Bathroom
The bath room is pretty big with a roll-in shower. As you can see, there is a grab bar that extends all the way from the toilet across the sink to the far wall with a second bar across the back wall. The sink has plenty of counter space so that all of your toiletries can be placed in easy reach. The roll-in shower has a fold-down bench with grab bars on three walls and an adjustable shower head. Be sure to to check the shower head position when the bell person first checks you into the room room in case adjustments need to be made. Also be sure to ask for a rubber bath mat when you make your reservations.
