This was the worst experience I had , the lady at reception was very rude , there was an extra charge of 60$ for one night parking which was not mentioned in my booking , the room was very very noisy and I could hear everything from outside & could not sleep , and now there is a charge of 800$ in my account which I do not know what is it for.

Wow! I'm so happy to have this beautiful hotel in the heart of San Diego's Gas Lamp District!! It's like a resort in the city. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you're bringing a group, for Bachelorette, Bachelor, girls, guys groups or any type of group make sure you reach out to Colby the group coordinator. The rooms are spacious and the décor and furnishings are upscale. The beautiful cabana's and rooftop bar by the pool is the best space to get your friends together for a quick bite or great drinks. I will be back soon!!! RIP Jimmy Buffett, they're done you proud!!

Brought my daughers down for the weekend to celebrate their 22nd birthday. First time here since it became Margaritaville, and it did not disappoint. The decor was fun and the whole lobby area was cute and fun. The rooms were also Margaritaville themed, but very cool and comfortable. Spent the day by the pool and it was just what we wanted. It was fun and relaxed, with great margaritas by the pool! Location couldn't be any better. Went to dinner right across the street and then the girls had options for after dinner within blocks of the hotel. Will be back for sure.

The valet and front desk staff were prompt and friendly. The decor was absolutely above and beyond. Upon walking in, I told my sister, “we’re home”. Lobby furniture was as comfortable and sturdy as it was gorgeous. The gym was spacious and well equipped. Our room was stunning. We both slept beautifully on the king sized mattress. If there is a download or link for the on screen menu on the room tv we’ll take it! Jimmy Buffet’s collection of videos, favorites and photos really encapsulated the stay. It was so very relaxing and much needed. Thank you for a great stay!
