We enjoyed the atmosphere and the evening skies here. The hotel was very usual, and to that end nothing to write home about. The pillows were probably my favorite part of my experience. Super comfortable. I am not a fan of the trend to go to rooms with showers only . . .so I missed soaking.

Stayed at this property for three nights as we were in town for SURFCUP soccer tournament in DelMar. Our team was assigned to this property, and had team 'rates' we were assigned. Little on the expensive side, but so was most other hotels in this area. Booked a two queen room. Check in was quick, although no acknowledgement of Bonvoy status. Assigned a room on the 8th floor. The two queen room, ended up being two double beds (no way these are queens) and a super small space for our party of 3. Very little space to unpack, so two of us lived out of a suit case ond one person used the single usable drawer to store clothes. The second drawer had the safe in it. Bathroom was decent size, with a tub, and dispensers for body soap, conditioner and shampoo. One bar of soap and lotion by the sink. Room had a mini fridge, and functional coffee station which was great. No Microwave. Beds were comfortable and we slept well, expect for a rude wake up on the second night. Woke up to the smoke detector battery running low, so it beeped every minute until I took it off the wall, unplugged it and took the battery out. That was not fun at 2:30AM. Not sure why that always happens in the middle of the night but so it goes. Talked to front desk manager in the morning and maintenance tech was up within 10 minutes to swap out the smoke detector for a brand new one. Self parking is expensive at $25.00 a night and you need your room key card to enter and exit the covered parking structure. Spaces are small and not designed for larger vehicles. Saw larger SUV's and pick up trucks parked outside in the valet area. Not sure if they had to pay for valet to park in that location. Staff were all great and they have a nice bar and dining area, including outside fire pit area. Did not use the pool but looked nice. If the rate was a little less I would consider this property in the future. Give it three stars for the high rate, the parking charges , smoke detector and tiny room. Staff and common areas get 5 stars.…

Dear "DougDilvo," Thank you very much for taking the time to submit your thoughtful review on TripAdvisor after your recent stay at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar. I was pleased to learn you found our hotel, amenities and services to your liking overall and that you would consider returning again in the future. I was disappointed to learn you were disturbed in the middle of the night by a smoke detector alarm. Please accept my apologies for that experience. As for the mattress size, I can confirm that all of our rooms have either one king bed or two queens. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Until then, all our best from Del Mar! Warm regards, Tom Kermabon Area General Manager

The worst stay! I complained 3 times about the housekeeping and they did nothing! The room was not clean when we checked in, the bedding was dirty and stained and there was onion pieces in the sofa. The basic thing a hotel does they cannot do! It’s like a 1 star hotel. Very disappointed.

Front desk was friendly and efficient. Dinner and breakfast was good but dinner needed a few comfort appetizers. I happened to get a handicapped room which was huge. Problems I noted were there were no towel racks anywhere in the bathroom or bedroom. Also the handicapped shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. I had to wear flip flops in the bathroom so I didn’t track water all over the bedroom. I stayed 2 nights and paid extra care the second night and still water was outside running across the floor. I forgot to tell the front desk that the lower light switch between the beds was similar to a strobe. Flickering on snd off very fast. I’m thinking it was a low light for a dim room but it flickers. Hopefully they read this. Our room had a mini refrigerator and there was bottled water in the room, and a coffee maker. I would stay again.…

Marriott Titanium. A bit surprised to see all the bad reviews, our stay was excellent. Pros: - Location: was convenient to get to and a quick drive for everything you need. - Staff: from front desk to cleaning team everyone was courteous and super helpful. - Recognition of loyalty: front desk went out of the way to give me full use of my benefits. - Executive Lounge: breakfast was good and always stocked. - Rooms: update, big, and clean. - Onsite restaurant: went for breakfasts and the food was good. Angel was an excellent waiter. Cons: - Onsite restaurant could use more help as they get overwhelmed for breakfast. Didn't get to the check out the pool as hope due to weather, but it was a great stay for a family in town to go to Legoland and see family and friends in the area.…

Checked in at midnight, only to be told that there’s no hot water (still waiting to take a shower and it’s almost midday). They’d also assigned me the wrong room, and there was recognition of my status with Marriott (who knows what they did with my welcome gift) when I checked in. Never staying here again. I like hot showers too much apparently.

Dear "N1366IHandrew," Thank you for submitting your review after your recent stay at the Marriott Del Mar. I was sorry to hear that your experience was impacted by a plumbing issue and that your Bonvoy status was not recognized. At about 10:15pm on the evening of Sunday, 3/26, a pipe in the hotel burst, requiring us to shut down the water supply to the hotel for about 4 hours while emergency repairs were made. This also temporarily impacted our ability to produce sufficient hot water supply on the early morning of the 27th. Hot water temperatures were reading over 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) by 7am but I can empathize with how that impacted your stay. Please accept my apologies for not having provided you with the experience you were anticipating. I hope you might reconsider a future stay with us. Thank you again for your time and thoughtful feedback. Sincerely, Tom Kermabon Area General Manager

It was so refreshing to come to this spacious beautiful hotel and with top service . Came from Hampton across the street which smell bad and over done with chemical smell. This place was a great experience with breakfast and a up to date quiet spacious room. Plenty of shampoo and soap. I will definitely stay here again. The whole staff was excellent!

Management and staff need some serious upgrading. Wifi in the room did not work for two days, staff were unable to help. Checkout was a disaster, took 25 minutes, and they could not provide a proper invoice. The next day they charged me $120 more on my credit card, and now cannot get them to respond back.

I wrote an email to the front desk manager, however, I haven’t heard anything back. I stayed at your property on 1/28 and checked out today 1/29. I was there for work for the PGA tour. When I first arrived I wasn’t welcome with a warm greeting like Marriott’s are known for. The front desk agent was cold and she was not very friendly when I checked in. When I arrived I gave my Marriott Bonvoy card for incidentals because the company was paying for the room. However, when I got home this evening I saw a charge on my card for the entire stay. I’ll attach here. When she gave me the key there wasn’t any explanation on where the elevator was like I saw all the other guest being told. She just gave me my key and circled the room number. Before I went to dinner I noticed the front door handle was ajar and not screwed in all the way. So I went to dinner around 650-655pm and let the cold front desk agent know my door wasn’t attached properly and she notified the engineer. However when I got back around 845pm-9pm I noticed the door wasn’t fixed. Usually, there’s a followup call from DTS or from the front desk to see if something has been fixed or an update. However, no phone call or nothing. So the door wasn’t fixed. I had to be up at 4am so I didn’t bother. I’ll attach photos with time stamps of when I left for dinner and returned. Also, I put chairs on my door because the door handle was loose. Also, I noticed these these boogers, food, or just dirty stuff on the wall and ceiling.I didn’t eat in my room. However, there were greasy puddles on the table. When I went to lay on one of the beds ( since they gave me a double Queen) it felt a little wobbly. I looked under the first bed and noticed one of the legs wasn’t even attached. I saw the leg against the wall. I’ll attach photo. So the bed I slept in had all the legs but they were mostly not symmetrical and crooked which is pretty dangerous. Also, before I lay down for the night I like to pull all the sheets and pillows up to check for things. I found some kind of pet hair on the pillows. I don’t complain ever because I used to work for Marriott for 8-9 years so I hate people that complained about petty things. However, this wasn’t a great stay, a cold and unfriendly front desk agent that was not great( however Khoa and nice Asian girl were so nice and great checking out this morning), non existent fixing of my door and followup of request which is usually standard of Marriott, and cleanliness and danger of beds is pretty terrible. On top of all that the charge on my Bonvoy credit card which we both agreed at check in was for incidentals. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope to hear from you soon.…
