    Room was dated, property was not kept well and the breakfast was not edible

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Great central location!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    All the staff were very friendly, the rooms were nice, and the amenities were great! Waffles were only done on Friday, not Saturday or Sunday for breakfast, but not a deal breaker. The breakfast had many other options!

    The from did have a little smell maybe due to being animal friendly. The overall stay it was roomy for my family of 7 plenty of space to sleep comfortably. The breakfast was good switch options everyday meats same fruits . The option of having hot tea and coffee throughout the day was awesome . The property was smoke free with destination spots which was great and area to cookout . I was having to much fun exploring the city didn’t get in the pool or hot tub . The location was perfect within 15 mins from everywhere in San Diego

    We had a pleasant stay. We booked the family suite across from the pool and we were happy with our stay. Breakfast was satisfying. Everything clean and accessible. Loved all the options. Residence inn by Marriott is a beautiful place to stay. Close to a lot. I will come back and stay again! 👍

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Big parking on site , nice rooms, breakfast included in the price. Very nice people at reception. The air conditioning was noisy and too powerful, with no way to adjust it. . The parking must be paid as an extra feature, but I already knew that, from other reviews.

    Dog friendly

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Plenty of space for a large group with everything we needed to make our own meals in the kitchen. We also enjoyed the wide variety of delicious food for breakfast!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was nice with lots of options. Pool was nice in the morning hours. The rooms were damp with a musty smell. Carpets were dirty and could use a replacement. Kitchen floors and bathroom floors weren't as clean as they could be. Motion sensor lights in the room were too bright and went off during night when walked by using the bathroom. Light at top of stairs was too bright and should be on a motion sensor.

    All staff members that we encountered from Bonna in the front desk, to the breakfast ladies- were super kind. The room was clean but VERY DATED. The sofa/sofa bed has definitely been used and abused. There are little sandbits or piling from the sofa cushions, it felt really gross when sitting down with shorts. The pillows were super flat. The bed itself is comfy but nothing amazing and not what I expected from a Marriott property. The lighting was terrible- soft yellow, making the room very dark. Switches for lights are awkwardly placed. The worst of all was the bathroom, the water pressure was terrible. For some reason there were ants, and we couldn’t find where they were coming from. The highlight is the delicious breakfast and the options available. However, it was inconsistent. There was one day that there were waffle makers out and lots of options, the next day- those options weren’t there. And that was on a weekend. The pool was also nice, heated and clean. Towels are self-serve. Location is good if you’re staying for an extended period of time, close to Ralph’s, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, UTC and some other shopping. Probably would not stay here again.

    Great property

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    There are too many good options, to choose this terrible option. The supervisor, whom decided to take over the check-in from her lobby employee, was rude to me and the check in clerk. They charged for handicap parking (which is illegal). She tried charging me for early check in, without first giving me the option to wait an hour. She was terrible and deserves to be fired. The room was disgusting. It was very noisy all night. My advice is to find another place to stay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026
