Nice size rooms with very modern look. Window from room overlooked petco park and was very nice. Clean hotel and rooms, with very attentive staff. Great valet staff and checkin took about 30 seconds. Will return when back in San Diego and would recommend it to anyone traveling there. (the area is also great with many restaurants to walk to, and everything to do).

One of the nicest Marriotts I've ever stayed at, and I've been to a few dozen. Everything seemed pretty new. The room was clean, fresh, and very pleasant. The bed was standard Marriott plushness. The TV worked fine (although it was a standard flat-screen CRT, not an LCD). The bathroom was well-stocked and water pressure was pretty good on the 16th floor.

Two caveats: One, there's no mini-fridge in the room. This was kind of annoying since we had a few of our own bottles of water and it was like 95 degrees out that weekend. And two, hallway noise seemed a little louder than usual for a Marriott. We could hear quite a bit of activity whenever people would walk back and forth.

The front desk staff were very nice (Kirby was pretty cool). The only issue was that when we arrived at 5pm, there was only one front desk clerk and like 4 or 5 people backed up in line. We waited for about five minutes but then 2 additional front desk staff showed up and we got checked in quickly. But where were those 2 staffers for the first five minutes?

The location, also, is excellent. You can actually SEE the infield at Petco from the rooftop bar. But be aware that the streets will get a little crowded if you visit during a home game. And the Gaslamp Quarter is right around the corner with a TON of bars and restaurants.

If we ever returned to the area, I'd probably stay at the Marriott again.

As usual, the trip to San Diego was for a convention, and this Marriott is in a good location for the convention center - albeit not next door like the original Marriott. It was clean and quiet, and the staff were all polite. Check in and check out were quick. The rooftop bar gets alot of use - mainly by young locals, it seems - but that did not disturb me. I would recommend this hotel to conventioneers and others visiting downtown San Diego.

Fantastic hotel - and I'm usually a little picky. When I walked into the ultra modern and chic lobby I thought the rooms would be very modern but many times that means small in a downtown hotel. I was wrong, I was very impressed with the space in our room. We had 2 double beds. I found the beds very comfortable.

The staff is some of the friendliest I've every been around, actaully we were impressed with the friendly atmosphere of the whole city! Parking was expensive, as in any big downtown city, so we expected that. I would absolutely stay back here if I got back to SD.
