In town for a conference...found location to be easily accesible from airport and to Gaslamp district for dinners/evening out. Rooms were great, very clean. Pool/outside bar are enjoyable if you have time. Ready access to Marina boardwalk was a plus for jogging/running, people watching. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed here for a conference at the adjoining convention centre. Very nice setting and the hotel offers some nice restaurants as well, including a poolside one. As a Canadian visiting in November, it was a treat to be able to eat outside and feel some warmth!

I had an '00' room which had a little balcony facing the marina (I think in the South tower but sorry,can't remember). My colleague in the same tower had an '03' room which had a bigger balcony facing directly to the marina. The rooms were a bit on the small side but clean. The hotel itself though is a bit pricy--our rooms were ~$215/night at that was at the conference discounted rate. OK for traveling for business, but for personal travel, I'd find a cheaper hotel or at least try for a cheaper rate.

Unfortunately, didn't get a chance to see much of the city.

FANTASTIC place to stay. Convenient location, great views, wonderful service! Highly recommend. Front desk staff was helpful, efficient and courteous. If you are attending anything at the conference center, this hotel is the absolute best place to stay due to its proximity to the venue. Take a sailing excursion that departs right outside the back entrance to the hotel!

On a whim, we flew out to San Diego ...somewhere we have never stayed. The hotel is next to a beautiful convention centre and as such seems a perfect venue for large groups. However, it was a quiet time during the three nights we stayed and we very much enjoyed the hotel and the area. The first room was on the 25th Floor and we could hear the airconditioning units on the roof and the chairs even vibrated with the sound. So we moved to room 2329 and it looked out (north tower) over the marina. Large, done in the early 80's concept, but completely re-decoratred. Did not have a large enough sink area for two, but the balcony and the room itself more than made up for this. The staff is lovely, although we did not receive a call back when inquiring about a small meeting room...we just went next door to the Hilton. But this should not have occurred. The restaurant is where this property excels. It is incredible. Beautiful only opening in May, new concept of living room areas and a wonderful Chef and pastry chef. We were really impressed. Fitness club is great also, large, with lots of everything. All in all, it was a wonderful time and we are thinking to re-visit when we can. Marriott is always consistent and we also like the proximity of the airport to the hotel area. You do not need a car. In fact there is a train that goes to LA outside of the door and a local train that goes to just about any area nearby. We walked to see Midway Battleship and it was well worth the visit, and also to Gaslamp District, which is no big deal, just lots of restaurants, but still you can walk there. There are endless things to do here and with more time, we could have branched out. We think this Marriott is a terrific choice for your stay.
