Property was great. Staff were very friendly and nice. Property was clean and safe. Check in was fast and the breakfast was great. Hospitality staff went above and beyond with my daughter’s eggs and didn’t make her fill like she was being picky. Overall great experience and plan to stay there again when in San Diego.

This hotel is in a decent location and central to a lot of San Diego. It is a little over due for a cosmetic refresh, but not dirty or poorly maintained. The biggest gripe I have this that they charge you $18 a night for parking considering there is nothing near this hotel that can be accessed by foot and a car is really your only option to get around this charge is borderline extortion. It’s not like they don’t have a giant parking lot either. Definitely something that should be factored into room cost.

Comfortable stay

The hotel was clean but definitely needed maintenance throughout. Room was clean with a nice view but beds were not super comfortable. Hotel bar staff were great. Starbucks lacked a little and the breakfast was not worth $20

This location was such a disappointment. The toilet seat looked like it was 30 years old. The bathtub had stains! And the carpet looked like it had not been cleaned. I had to put towels on the floor from my bed to the shower. Never again. I love the Marriott brand but avoid this location.
