San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina Review

Very nice hotel, but I didn't really like how large it was. It felt more like a resort because of the size. The location is great though! Walking distance from tons of restaurants and bars makes this hotel a good choice for groups.

We used for business trip, but are convenient that there were Starbucks and 24-hour snacks store near the convention center and hotel. Also, the gym is clean and fully equipped.

Very nice hotel! Very comfortable rooms, Close to the convention center and good restaurants. Great view of the ocean and the city! Excellent attention!

The Marquis is a great hotel along the water and walking distance to the GasLamp.

The highlight of the hotel is the pool. The pool is designed to take you to the island destination, the topical elements and the well stocked bar makes your staycation a relaxing weekend getaway. The hotel is clean with friendly service.

I am a lifetime platinum member of Marriott and this is the worst hotel for platinum members. Concierge lounge is closed and instead of breakfast we get 1000 points which are basically worthless. This hotel does not take care of Marriott s most loyal customers- staying at Hilton next time.

I didn't stay there. My brother was the guest and I was picking him up for lunch. I was there for 10 minutes.

Room was nice and location was great. Very close to everything

Great place. Wish I had a longer stay that would have allowed me to explore. View at night from North Tower.

Expensive hotel for the lack of amenities. $25 a day resort fee. Guests beside us ran up and down the hall screaming for hours. Front desk staff didn't seem too concerned. Won't be staying here again.

Marriott never disappoints and the convention area built on provides good space for meeting/work events.

Absolutely beautiful! Sarah at the front desk provided above and beyond assistance!

Nice location. Cold pool. $35/night parking. Not great rooms.

It is a fantastic hotel in a fantastic area with fantastic service. We stayed here one day before comic-con on our vacation. The fridge did not seem to be getting cold, so, I called the maintenance. They guy came quite promptly, brought a new fridge and helped out with other room issues... all within 10 mins or so of the initial call. Given the size of this hotel, it is more than impressive. Also, by-and-large all folks were very helpful.

Nice hotel, good views. I did not care for their $25 nightly "destination fees" which were tacked on the quoted price. just give me the price with the destination fees included if they're required

Fine hotel with pretty nice views. Stayed for a conference and it was nice overall. Bed was extremely comfortable, slept like a baby.

Nice atmosphere but restaurant staff was very friendly and food was decent.

Very close to Gaslamp Quarters. Right on the bay. Awesome views. It has it all.

The hotel has a great location and the staff is amazing! Beautiful pool area and easy access to convention center. Totally will come here again!!!!!

Driving down to San Diego from Orange County midweek before the afternoon traffic starts is such an easy drive. It's beautiful as well with ocean views to the west. As you make your way to the downtown area, the hotels and buildings create a beautiful skyline. Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina is part of the skyline.

* Travel tip: The easiest way to park when checking in at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina is by valet. They have garage parking as well but the spaces are a bit limited. There is also lot parking behind the hotel too, but it is quite a walk to the hotel if lugging bags and suitcases.

The lobby is stunning with it's tropical, oceanic feel with floor-to-ceiling windows giving off a feeling that you're on a tropical island. The front desk staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Check-in is quick and then you're on your way to your room. The tropical, oceanic theme continues from the lobby along meeting corridors to the elevators. You really start to forget you are in San Diego.

The 1 King or 2 Double, Bay view, Balcony Room is 400 square feet with central air-conditioning. Amenities include: chair, alarm clock, in-room safe, work desk with ergonomic chair and electrical outlets, iron and ironing board, coffee maker with an array of coffees and teas, Bath and Body Works bathroom amenities, hair dryer, lighted make-up mirror, robes, phone with voicemail and speakerphone, internet access, and flat-screen TV with premium movie channels. These rooms are also non-smoking. The balcony is 50 square-feet with two chairs and a small table, ample for lounging during the day - enjoy a morning cup of coffee or evening night cap. The view is breathtaking - the mirrored tower on the opposite side reflects the bay and marina. To the west is the marina, San Diego Bay, and Coronado Island. To the east, is a view of the Gaslamp Quarter. Below is a beautiful birds-eye view of the pool area that beckons like a tropical oasis.

The hotel also has a Gift Shop with San Diego themed fashion and accessories, souvenirs, drinks, snacks, and various necessities you may have forgotten to pack like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.

If you're attending a meeting and in need of a quick bite in the morning before sessions starts or a snack in-between sessions, stop by the Exchange. They have grab-and-go eats like muffins, cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, snacks, and a variety of refrigerated beverages. If you're staying at the hotel, this also a great place to stock up for the room for a night cap.

Marriott Marquis also has an on-site restaurant, Marina Kitchen Restaurant & Bar, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. See my review on it. Make sure to check out Marina Kitchen's new Tasting Bar where you can enjoy wine tastings daily at 4 p.m.

I love this hotel!!! I would give it 6 stars if I could!

A standard hotel pool and bar. They do have tasty street tacos!

Great experience. Everything was wonderful. Staff was great and the bed was super comfortable.

Beautiful spacious resort, but with prices too match

Beautiful place in the heart of downtown & short walk to gaslamp

Amazing hotel with great views in an ideal location. Excellent Service as well

Lovely hotel, great pool area, excellent food and service from the staff.

Modern, clean, nice staff, great amenities and easy access to conference rooms. Pool area is larger than most hotels and it has a lot of palm trees and chairs. Family friendly and business friendly.

We love this place. A little pricey but worth it. It's on our rotation.

Nice sprawling property with decent food options, including a connected Roy s. Very walkable to Gas Lamp and great location along the water. A sneaky good gift shop too with perks for loyal Marriott members. We would definitely consider this property again, although the elevators were very slow but the hotel was also at capacity!

I went to eat at the Marina Kitchen restaurant with my colleagues.

Please change the individual Kleenex sheets for Air Dryers in your bathrooms.

We enjoyed the comfort of the room during our stay and proximity to the marina, Gaslamp area, restaurants and convention center. We did use the gift shop for beverages and purchases a small strawberry cheesecake dessert from the Exchange Pantry that tasted 'old and rubbery '. They exchanged it for the brownie which they warmed up and also gave us a slide of poppy seed cake. We were pleased with the results. The views from our room were great. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful as well as the concierge. The room cleaning staff are friendly and efficient in keeping the room clean and tidy.

This hotel is quite central and useful to get around, the convention center is also next door making it very convenient. Rooms are a good size and clean and kept updated. Most rooms have a nice view but some lower rooms can suffer a little from the noise below. Service was quick but not the friendliest and I did expect a little more from this class of hotel. Food options are plenty full downstairs and the quality is good yet could be a little small for some.

Friendly staff, very clean rooms, easy check in. Would highly recommend to a friend or colleague

Excellent place to stay. Great view of the Marina from the room, large and comfortable bedroom with all its amenities, nice strolling distance to Seaport Village. Highly recommended.

I love this hotel there is a beautiful pool and the service is great.

Small room, expensive parking, additional cost for internet. It doesn't look like 4 star hotel at all.

They try to grab your money in every single way.

Strongly suggest not staying here.

What a wonderful place to stay. Close to everything with a short trolley ride!

This hotel offers excellent amenities and has great service. The hotel itself is quite big making it a good venue for small conferences.

Hotel is very nice. Clean rooms and soft beds. Only issue is the room I was in didn't have a microwave. Staying for a few days and I wanted to save money by not eatting out every meal.

V nice hotel beds are a little small for queen size if you ask me.

The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are clean. The views are great. They literally have some of everything on site. Full state of the art gym, amazing pool and an outdoor bar.

Flagship of the Marriott's in San Diego on the water and within walking distance to Sea Port Village. Staff is very nice and view from the rooms is great.

Room was in the perfect location with a great view. Staff was very friendly and accompanying. Would recommend for anyone staying in San Diego.

Stunning views from most rooms, featuring the waterfront or iconic San Diego cityscapes.

I was constantly blown away by the staff here at this hotel. From the front desk to the red coat events team to the cafe staff at the exchange in the south tower. They made our stay so enjoyable. The hotel itself is very clean- the rooms are lovely with comfortable beds however maybe it is just a marriott style- the rooms look a bit dated. A very very comfortable stay!!

Very good prompt service, comfortable rooms, well insulated doors and walls.

Great room and service nut no breakfast included and restaurant in hotel has nothing we like

The rooms are nice. The views of the Bay are great. The staff has been very friendly from the front desk to the poolside bar. Walking distance to surrounding resorts and the Gaslamp.

This is a beautiful hotel conveniently located in downtown San Diego convention area. It's also close to the Gaslamp and the waterfront. The Starbucks was great.

Great place if your company is paying for it. Otherwise get an Airbnb in one of San Diego's many cool neighborhoods.

A centrally located hotel next to the convention center and blocks from the gas lamp district. Very business oriented. Nice hotel, but not great for families.

Gorgeous place with a gorgeous harbor view. Great service, clean, modern room. Great food and service. All-in, great experience for a few days in sunny San Diego!

Very nice property, great location on the marina. Good food and bar options on site.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. I was on a vacation and only stayed here one night but it was fantastic. I had a bay view with a balcony on the 22nd floor. The view was great because I could see the bay as well as most of the city! The facilities were spotless and clean. The TV section could of been better but the HDMI port built into the desk allowed me to plug in my iPad which was a plus. I found it ridiculous that wifi was $14 so I went down to the Starbucks in the lobby which has free wifi. Overall if you want a fancyish hotel stay here.

Parked there for 2 and a half days and got charged $85.00 for parking. Are you f#&king kidding me!!!

Good outdoor pool, good location near downtown, 24 hour convenience store, but no water supply.

Great service, clean rooms, conveniently located next to the San Diego Convention Center.

Fantastic location and views. Great hot tubs and food.

For a little extra money, the best rooms at this place are heaven. The best views to wake up and rest up with. Marina Kitchen, Roy s, and Tequila are pretty decent restaurants if you re staying there for a while but so many great options within walking distance too.

Convenient to everything, the hotel has a great pool, restaurants and other facilities. Rooms are very comfortable.

Comfortable bed, beautiful pool, internet enabled TV, 24 hour cafe, great view and location.

Beautiful hotel! Great location with beautiful harbor views. Very clean rooms, excellent customer service, comfortable beds!
