San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina Reviews

The ballroom staff are extremely courteous. The ballroom size is very adequate for large events.

Nice hotel that s conveniently located near many restaurants, other hotels, the marina and the Gaslamp District. Nice rooms, friendly helpful staff, and a few restaurants on site to choose from. Nice concierge lounge with a variety of food options.

Typical restaurant for a high end hotel. It offers standard breakfast fare, including a buffet. I had the French toast, which was served with a container of Nutella in addition to Maple syrup. The serving size was generous. The service was great.

Good service. Rooms had a little wear and tear but CV the view made up for it. Staff was wonderful. Towls could have been softer!

Nice place to visit and grab a bite and a drink even if you aren't staying there.

The grounds are wonderful and the meeting space was great. If you attending a large conference or happen to be staying during a large conference, be prepared to wait on the elevators. I waited for 8 elevators one night due to them being filled from the top floor first. At the end of the night, there was always a line to get on the elevator.

The room was good. Clean and comfortable. The staff was fantastic. This would have been a 5 star review if not for the elevator issue.

great hotel, amazing view of the bay and the island.

We will definitely stay here again

We had some Marriott points to use so we went to San Diego to just relax for a weekend. We had a great time at Sea World for a day and then just stayed at the hotel for a day. There is plenty to do at the hotel , but the Gas Lamp District is right across the street and Seaport Village is just down the street. We cruised around for an hour or so on the little electric scooters that are everywhere and that was a lot of fun too. One other thing worth noting, we ate at a few different places in the hotel and the food was excellent every time. We will certainly be going back, hopefully soon.

Location was amazing. Can't complain at all. Rooms are super clean & filled with amenities. Service was immensely prompt & courteous.

The room was nice and clean. They didn't provide enough shampoo for all the guests and by the time they gave it to us it was too late. Their vallet parking also crashed our car.

Beautiful place to stay over looking the bay as well as the city center from our room. Good rooms have comfortable bedding. Bathroom and accessories could have been better. Big pool, and large dinning area towards the marina. They have big ballrooms as well.
This place suitabily place and have acces to public transport like bus and metropolitan transport. Very close to gas lamp district as well. Courteous staff.

Amazing local that was decently priced. Comfortable and cozy rooms and amenities.

Very nice hotel. Justin who was working the breakfast buffet was outstanding!!

The location is quite good, walking distance to everywhere in the center but the architecture is not pleasant in my opinion.

Great venue for the professional event I attended there

The room was clean and staff, although somewhat overwhelmed, was very friendly. However, I found it impossible to order a small pot of coffee in the morning. Instead, they sent me a Starbucks 10 cup box for $28. This Marriott does not have traditional room service but instead has a "marketplace." I don't travel often (maybe 3 or 4 times a year) but I really hate not being able to order a pot of coffee in the morning.

Attended the SCS/AIA Conference here. The facilities we're great and the staff was incredibly helpful whenever I had a question. I would happily attend any event at this site.

Hotel bathrooms were very clean. Location was excellent

Nice hotel, but we could never get the humidity in our room regulated. Tried 2 different rooms but both were very humid. Air conditioning usually dries out a room - seemed to make it worse here.

Marriott is able to keep the hotel sparking clean with all the foot traffic for comic con.

Beautiful view, I got a City view as well as a view of the bay thanks to the wonderful receptionist that recommend the room. Very clean and friendly staff

The room was good, but dated and not really as nice as I'd expect for the high price. Parking is a pain in the ass and 35 dollars per night. The pool area is nice and there are fire pits near the lounge for socializing in the evenings. The Marriott isn't bad, but the Hilton bayfront is essentially next door and a much nicer hotel for the money.

Amazing Hotel Staff and location. The pool beautifully and walking distance to my favorite spots. The love the halibut fish tacos. When I had an issue it was addressed quickly, the staff well trained. Sarah at the front desk deserves recognition for her great customer service and recovery.

This is a very high end hotel. Service is outstanding, as with all Marriott locations. The decor in the rooms is trendy and modern. Views from higher rooms are fabulous.

They don't sell Coca-Cola products, which costs a star.

Great location, close to Gaslamp district, rooms are clean and spacious

First impressions
What a fantastic hotel! First impressions, you are instantly greeted by staff welcoming you to the hotel. After that, you are checked in, and they give you a great explanation of where everything is situated inclusive of food, drinks, and snacks.
Location
The location was marvelous, and it was not even 10 minutes away from the San Diego Airport. It was quite central to almost everything, including restaurants, beaches, and city transportation. It was only a 2-minute walk to the convention center, which was delightful! There are gorgeous amenities such as a pool, fitness center, spa and massage, and stunning avenues to walk along.
Staff
I thought the staff was accommodating and always greeted you no matter where you went. I saw the same theme of friendliness from the valet to the manager. It was very consistent throughout the hotel.
Room Appeal
I thought the room was of average size for a hotel. It was certainly well maintained and up to date. The bathrooms were large and very modern feel to it. What captivates you the most, though, are the views into the ocean or the city skyline. Depending on where you are situated or your preference, the views are stunning! Those views alone are enough to get you outside of your room to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Food
The food in the sit-down restaurant was great! The staff was friendly, and the chefs do a brilliant job making the selection quite appealing. They have a fantastic service to order from the bistro area, and they ll give you the option to either order ahead and pick up the food at the bistro (free), order room service ($8), or order at the bistro (free). Either option was very simple, and all food arrives within 20-25 minutes. The food isn t incredible, but it isn t terrible either. I rated them from worst to best, starting with Breakfast Pancakes (not good), Breakfast Burritos (okay), Chicken Mozzarella Sandwich (good), Parfaits (good), Gelato (good), Chicken Tenders (delicious), Exchange Burger (perfect). Some were far better than others.
Quality of food
All food is delivered in to-go boxes and isn t like your traditional room service dishes. Not terrible but caught me by surprise. I got used to it after a few days, and it makes sense for a hotel to do that! Other than the Breakfast Pancakes, I thought the rest of the quality was great!

I've only stayed 1 night so far, and staff seems very pleasant. Rooms are nice but not decadent. I'm in the South tower facing harbor St and the view is just OK. I wish they included a microwave in the room, but just ask for one and they'll bring one up. Grocery store is within walking distance.

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, sweet view priced about right for the area.

Just stopped by to hang out at the pool for it a bit. They have a good selection of drinks(a tad expensive) and a nice a pool area for relaxing but didn't see any pool-side service. This a great spot so close to the gas lamp district.

To notch hotel with awesome environment for singles or family. There's kiddie pool and adult pool with heated water so you can enjoy it day or night. The bar is a plus for those that want to relax by the pool and fire place.

Walking distance to Petco Park, downtown and Gaslamp Quarter. There is a trolley station in front of the hotel, which I think is convenient for access.

You feel like you're in the Caribbean or some tropical paradise.

Beautiful place to stay by the Bay but for me they were too many kids out at the pool area was a holiday weekend I could have been the reason

Great rooms, friendly staff. Location is code to gas lamp quarters, and so much more.

A simply sensational hotel! Location, structure and luxury!

Love staying here. Marriott always has nice hotels

Rooms are well kept and comfortable. Nothing special, but just good rooms. Staff is so friendly.

Lovely accommodations overlook a lush pool area and the San Diego bay, or the Gaslamp Quarter. Large ballrooms to accommodate a sizeable conference, with smaller breakout and meeting rooms scattered throughout the conference area. Large fitness center. Convenient access to the marina walk, ferries and train line. Walking distance to downtown attractions and the San Diego convention center.

Prices at onsite bars and restaurants are consistent with downtown/Marina area expectations, which is to say pricier than many properties, but not the most expensive. I would stay here again.

Setting is perfect if you enjoy walking. Loved our week here. Close to everything.

Staff was great. Using the Marriott app to schedule an early check-in for my room was ridiculously convienent!

We stayed here in August for a work conference/family getaway. We stayed 4 nights. The stay was very nice, clean, comfy beds, nice outdoors/pool, rooms are standard (nothing special). The restaurant is a bit pricey but on par with the rest of San Diego. It would be nice to have a cheaper food option in hotel with healthy food. We visited the restaurant the Marina kitchen, food was good, service was good also. The exchange is a fast service alternative to a sit down restaurant but at restaurant prices. I made two requests on the food I ordered there and they did not do the requests, I didn t notice until I got to my room and did not go back to get it corrected. The first night at the hotel there was a wedding going on outside our window, loud booming music until 10pm, I was very disappointed as we have young children who could not fall asleep until the music stopped. It would be nice if starbucks in the hotel stayed open later (closes at 5pm). Parking is 35$ per night which I thought could be less considering the price per night for the stay.

Overall very nice hotel, nice staff and service, very clean and modern.

Beautiful view of the bay. Good restaurants, nice pool.

Very classy hotel. It's a nice break from the gas lamp district, which is right there. Marina side walks are pleasant. It's within easy striking distance (scooter) from Little Italy, Balboa Park, etc

Went there for a seminar in their convention center. A long winding walk from parking lot to the convention. Give yourself some time or use their vallet.

Pool area is insane. Feels like you're at a resort in the Caribbean.

Exceptional property, located in the heart of it all!

Nice hotel overlooking the marina. Clean, quiet rooms. Friendly staff.

Beautiful hotel with an amazing view all around! Great pool, great food, and great drinks! I will be back.

Very clean and professional hotel. The breakfast buffet is worth it.

This met all my expectations for a Marriott. The room was clean, the facility is beautiful. The city view room gave a great look at downtown and was well worth the price.

Beautiful hotel and marina. Slept comfy and happy. Have nothing negative to report.

The San Diego Marriott Marquis has been my number one pick for hotels in the San Diego area. The location is perfect for anyone that has business/pleasure near the Downtown area. Most places are easily walkable from the hotel; including the Gas lamp District, Convention Center, PETCO Park (the Padres Stadium), the marina, and the USS Midway museum. The hotel itself is very gorgeous and has a wonderful lobby/shops/dining area for lounging. But the most attractive feature to me was the pool area (just look at the pictures) it is stunning. There is plenty of seating outside, a nice bar, fire pits, palm trees galore and a Jacuzzi.

The rooms were quite nice, typical to most Marriott s and I personally had a nice view of the Marina. The fitness center is excellent and on par with some smaller gyms. There is a huge selection of treadmills, ellipticals, machines, free weights and even a separate dance/fitness room with a punching bag. I would definitely recommend the Marriot Marquis San Diego to anyone staying in the area.

The Marriott Marquis is BEAUTIFUL!! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Our room has a wonderful view of San Diego and the marina. The room itself was spotless and looks exactly as depicted in the pictures. Thanks Marriott for a great experience!

Great hotel and super friendly staff. A little too busy for my taste (on vacation).

Great attendants in parking structure. They helped me a lot when there was no handicap parking.

Location is beautiful, close to residents and plenty of activities to do. Staff is beyond nice and very helpful, is a tad expensive but what high degree hotel isn't but overall a great spot! Rooms are decent size. Most gorgeous views of the bay :) very very very little not to like :) going to enjoy the rest of my week here!

Simply amazing, wonderful rooms, professional atmosphere. Truly impressed and really nothing bad to point out.

Loved our stay here! The room was clean, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The location was very close to shopping, restaurants, marina (where you can rent a boat), the USS Midway Museum, and also whale watching tours. The pool area was wonderful as well. We really liked sitting by the fire pits in the evening, relaxing with our drinks.

Beautiful view of the marina and pool from my hotel room. Super comfy bed and friendly staff. Big gym facility and lovely pool complex. Great location too.

Food was okay pool side. The conference is huge and always utilizes rooms at the Marquis, these were as expected for a conference.

Beautiful hotel and pools. Friendly staff and great location.

We attended the hotel for a short while to gather for a social gathering. We were located outside in the pool area and found everything to be fantastic. Service was fast and friendly and the facilities were outstanding. We left with great satisfaction.

Spectacular Bay view when you wake up. the attendance was very kind. Rooms are comfortable. The pool is nice for children. The convention center is spacious and well delivered.

Great location. Rooms are dated. Concierge lounge staff was inflexible (they would not serve a single dessert item 30 minutes before the scheduled time to accommodate a child's bedtime).
