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.
