We spent several nights at the Marriot Marquis in January of 2016 and found this to be one of the best hotels we've stayed. My fiancee was attending a conference there so this was all pleasure for me! We arrived to find a long line at the check in. I was suprised how fast it went but they had EVERY station manned. We got up to the counter and they upgraded our room for free to a 16th floor balcony on the harbor side. Always ask and sometimes you can get a really good deal. The clerk was super friendly and offered insight on dining as well.
Our room was great with a sitting area and balcony looking out over the pool area, marina and San Diego harbor. Just an amazing sight to be even above the seagulls lazily floating by. The bed and linens were top quality. The room did not have a tub but did have a walk in shower, separate dressing area and refrigerator. There was also a safe in the room. I was impressed with the service as the safe was locked when we arrived. I called and security was there in less than 3 minutes, unlocking the safe and wishing me a good stay.
We did not order room service as there was an $8 delivery fee but we did visit their food court which had a UPS store , a gift shop and a Starbucks as well as their local snack bar and in house restaurant.
This is truly a great place to stay as its attached to the harbor and has a marina that rents boat slips as well. There's a really nice boardwalk that connects the harbor, marina, and seaport village all together.
Hopefully I will get a chance to stay here again!
