My husband and I recently stayed at AC by Marriott for his conference in SD. The location is fantastic as it is in the heart of Gaslamp Quarters and close to everything. I gave it a 3 star because of average service (lackluster welcome at reception and during phone inquiries). The bathroom smelled and at some point the toilet got clogged and when I called the front desk they said they will send someone but just delivered a plunger and left it at the door! For the price they were charging 250-270 a night you would expect better service and the valet charge was outrageous too and you don't have that many options for parking in Gaslamp quarters. I feel like for the cost it could have been a better experience and it wasn't.

Great location nice from inside but don’t take a street room because the noise coming from outside is unbearable and stays on up to 2AM+. Not recommended if you need a peace of mind at night. They give you ear plugs and have a machine to reduce the noise in the room. Better choose a room from the other side to have a better sleep unless you are someone that stays up late!
