Residence Inn

Designed as an all suite extended stay property in the Otay Ranch area, Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Chula Vista is built around in room kitchens, practical layouts, and shared spaces that work well for longer stays. The hotel has 148 suites, with a mix of studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom options. The overall setup favors guests who want a place that functions like a small apartment, with space to cook, eat, and spread out between shifts or meetings.

Studios here run around 419 square feet and are configured as an open plan suite with a sleeping area plus a separate sitting zone. Most studio layouts pair one king bed with a sofa bed, which is useful when you need an extra sleeping surface without moving up to a larger unit. Every suite includes a full kitchen setup with a full size refrigerator and freezer, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, and the basics you need for simple meals.

One bedroom suites step up to about 452 square feet and add a real separation between the bedroom and the living space. That door in between makes a difference for crews or families on staggered schedules. Bedding configurations vary, including one king plus a sofa bed, or two queen beds plus a sofa bed for higher occupancy. Two bedroom suites are the largest option at roughly 603 square feet, designed for groups that want multiple sleeping rooms under one reservation while still keeping a shared living area and kitchen in the unit.

Common spaces are laid out for routines instead of one off stays. The breakfast area supports a daily buffet service, and the lobby has grab and go options for snacks and basics. Outside, the property includes an outdoor pool plus patio areas, along with barbecue grills and a picnic setup that can double as a casual gathering spot in good weather. Practical support spaces, including on site laundry and a 24 hour business center, help when you are staying a week or longer and need to keep work and personal logistics moving.

Meetings are handled through a single dedicated event room rather than a full conference wing, which keeps things simple and easy to manage. The Otay meeting room provides 592 square feet of flexible space with dimensions of 30 feet by 15 feet and an 8 foot ceiling. Capacity tops out at 30 in common setups, with layouts that can be arranged for classroom seating, boardroom style, reception, or banquet. Audiovisual support is available for presentations, training sessions, daily standups, or team briefings.

Group coordination is where this hotel pairs well with Engine.com. When you are booking multiple rooms for a project, wedding weekend, tournament, or multi week assignment, Engine can help secure a room block, organize rooming lists, and consolidate billing. Engine’s project based tracking also makes it easier to map lodging spend back to a job, department, or event, which matters when you have rotating arrivals, extensions, and multiple cost centers.
