Stayed at the property for a week for business. The property and staff were incredible. Location was about a 18min walk to the convention center and plenty of great restaurants and bars within a 5-10min walk. Would highly recommend. Host was great and accommodating.

Great place to stay when visiting San Diego

Property was a spacious two room suite with a kitchenette and fridge. Immaculately clean, spacious, comfortable and conveniently located are all adjectives I would use to describe the unit. The receptionists and workers are extremely nice and welcoming. I was also allowed to use the pool shower before taking back the redeye to the east coast, which was a nice perk. The walk to the conference center is under 20 min. I would definitely stay here again.

Spring break

Great location. Easy to get to Seaport Village, Balboa Park, and Mission Beach. The Marriott provided excellent service. The suite had comfortable amenities. The parking garage swirly was the only drawback, but at least there was clean, secure parking.

Good location, Walking distance to the Gaslamp District and Petco Park

This property was an easy $10 UBER ride from the San Diego Airport. The lobby is on the 12th floor (kinda strange) as well as the pool, weight room, and bar/restaurant. Our room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. There was also a staffed kids area on the 12th floor that showed movies every afternoon with free popcorn. It also had crafts for them during the week and lots of games and toys available. While we didn't bring our kids on this trip, I could see them having a lot of fun in there. The only thing that I didn't like was our room, #1217,was close to the weight room. At 5:30 A.M. someone decided to use it and was dropping their dumbbells after every set. The wall where our bed was is almost adjoining to the weight room wall. Each drop shook the wall and reverberated through the bed. I had to get up and ask staff to have the person stop. They did take care of it but it was an inconvenience. Not that that would happen every morning, but If assigned room 1217, ask to be moved!
