Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

You are paying the high price for the resort like feel with easy access to major San Diego attractions like the Convention Center (literally next door), Seaport Village, the Marina (next to the pool), and walking distance to downtown/Gas Lamp (the rail is literally outside). Parking: - 2 floors (P1 & P2) -$55 to self park (the line to enter the garage is long and they will ask your name/room number and provide you with the parking ticket) - parking garage is available to public (I believe you can park there for the San Diego Convention Center) and finding spots can be tough. - if you are willing to walk a bit to the elevators then you will have better luck - parking lot is very confusing but each spot has a marked name/number, so just take a picture of where you parked. - $75 for valet, but I saw 5-10 cars parked on the ramp outside leading me to think that even valet parking may have been full Hotel: We stayed in the South tower, which is the older tower but still very clean & nice enough that if you want a cheaper alternative then it would work. However, our room was right next to the rail so we kept hearing the dinging of the rail. They did provide ear plugs inside the nightstand, but there was only one nightstand. They provided hand no lotion and the shower has the multi-dose shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, but there were no robes, no amenity kit, no slippers, and no shower cap. Misc: - an awesome pool and lounge chairs - North tower is renovated - south tower is not - Their gym, fitness classes, and Starbucks are in the north tower. - It seems like the fitness classes are offered only around 7am. - Your $45 amenity fee gives you a $23 food/beverage credit to most places in the hotel except the gift shop & Roy's restaurant. - just go up to the restaurant and tell them which room & name to bill it to and they will deduct the $23 from the total. - if you don't use the $23, you lose it (doesn't roll over) - you have to go to the front desk & stand in the (long) line to ask for the bike or kayak rental voucher good for 1h

Perfect Birthday & New Year Getaway – Oceanfront Paradise! I stayed at this resort to celebrate my birthday and New Year, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The oceanfront view from my room was stunning — waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise was unforgettable. The resort has multiple pools, each with its own vibe, and I loved spending time relaxing by the water with a drink in hand. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and felt truly luxurious. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special. From the warm welcome to the little birthday touches, I felt genuinely cared for. The New Year celebration was full of energy, great music, and a festive atmosphere that made the night one to remember. This resort exceeded all my expectations and made my celebration incredibly memorable. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and upscale beachfront escape. I’ll definitely be returning!

Very well run hotel for one of this size. Room was nice if a bit dated. We had an ocean view with a balcony. Made all the difference. The entire property was nice. Love that it's located right on the water so I can walk the promenade.

Overall, this is a solid hotel with plenty to offer. The location is excellent - you’re well-positioned to explore the city and nearby attractions. The pool area is definitely a highlight and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The hotel maintains Marriott’s usual standards with clean, well-appointed rooms and good service throughout the property. The amenities and common areas are nicely maintained. My only real complaint was with the bedding setup. The mattress was too soft for my preference, and I found myself sinking in more than I’d like. The pillows were also quite high, which made it difficult to get comfortable for sleep. If you prefer firmer sleeping arrangements, you might want to request different pillows or consider if this will be an issue for your stay. Despite the bedding concerns, it’s still a nice property that delivers on location and facilities. Would recommend it to others, just with a heads up about the sleeping situation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I would like to take a moment to recognize the exceptional service provided by Aaron, the Front Desk Manager at the Marriott on Harbor Blvd. His kindness, friendliness, and willingness to go above and beyond made our stay truly special. When my husband requested to extend our stay until Saturday, Aaron promptly checked the availability and managed to accommodate our request despite the hotel being fully booked. His knowledge and expertise in explaining the hotel's amenities and services were impressive, even though we've stayed here multiple times before. What struck me most was his dedication to ensuring our stay was seamless, which was especially appreciated after an exhausting day. Please pass along my gratitude to Aaron; he's a shining example of the Marriott brand's commitment to excellent customer service. We're fortunate to have hotels like this, and I'm grateful for employees like Aaron who make it their favorite destination. Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable! You are truly appreciated Andy or Aaron. I don’t know how I missed the name but his badge said Front Desk Manager. Thank you!

My mom and I stayed here for a mother-daughter trip and had the best time. We got upgraded to the top floor with an amazing marina view—such a nice surprise! The hotel is super clean, well-maintained, and has so many fun perks. The daily $23 food credit covered our Dole Whip cravings at the pool bar, and we loved the wine tastings (very generous pours!) and free bike rentals around the marina. It felt like a mini resort getaway in the middle of the city. Would 100% come back! Shout out to Richard, our bellman. He was welcoming and gave great tips and recommendations for our time in San Diego.

Stayed here for the second year in a row. What a perfect place for a special occasion or big holiday celebration. The location is crazy good on the water, near Petco Park,Convention Center and Seaport Village. We were fortunate to have entry to the M Club and was really impressed. The Chef consistently put out great food and incredible small pastries, tiny works of art. But the best was the team working the lounge. A shout out to Phyllis who was there at 5 in the morning and as cheerful and welcoming as if you were in her own home. Every staff member in this lounge was as professional as a 5 star restaurant. We were so impressed. |The only hiccup is the elevators can get slow and crowded on very busy days. Definitely be back!

This Hotel was so cool! We were Fortunate enough to get a City, and Bay View all in one room! We were able to watch the Padres Game, and the Fireworks from the Bay, all while stationed in our room. The pool is super cool too! So much fun. My only complaints is water was $10 from the Market, and everything from Starbucks was also $10. It said that Internet came with our stay, but when we went to login to the WiFi, it said to agree to $14 a day. So it definitely didn't come with the Reservation. And the pool water was extremely Chlorined. So much everything smelled extremely salty, or sulfury. There was also a breakfast spot way back by the Starbucks, but we had no idea until checkout. And the elevators take forever. But the tv had a lot of channels, and the bathroom in our room was nice. And the building itself is stunning inside, and out.

Came here for New Year's Eve as we have a tradition of eating at a different Eddie Vs every year for NYE. The hotel check in was quite easy as I had already checked in on the app on the train ride down to San Diego. Additionally, the room was great. The space felt bright and clean and the shower water was instantly hot. As a California who has to scald my soul to get going, this was perfect to get moving on New Years Day. The views and vibes of this hotel was great and I would not hesitate to come back and stay a while longer. Overall, would return!

We stayed here recently during the holiday, as I had some points I needed to use. I had a free upgrade as well, and didn't realize I actually chose a suite that only had a Murphy bed in it that folds from out of the wall. When I realized what happened I called the customer service number but they were unable to help me and suggested I just ask at check in for a different room. I didn't really want to chance it, so I called the hotel front desk, and the nice woman I spoke with was so helpful. She was able to get me a different room that had a regular bed, with no changes in cost to me. The room was a larger corner room with a view of the bay and was very nice. It had a small sofa and table in there, and it was pretty roomy. The check in process did seem pretty slow and we had to wait in line for some time. One reason I booked here was for the M Lounge, however it wasn't that great unfortunately. They don't have any warm food during the weekend. Apparently they had yogurt but every morning we went it was all gone, and you would just see empty containers in the trash. I feel like they did not stock very well at all. Im not sure if people were just going and grabbing a bunch to take or what, but it was disappointing to not have any snacks at all. The only thing we were ever able to get consistently was soda and coffee/tea. They did also have a refrigerator with beer that said to ask an attendant for help, although I never saw an attendant in there. They did give me $10 daily food and beverage credit, and they also told me they had free wine tasting in the evening, but we never got a chance to try it.

I'm a Titanium elite member. Having been loyal to this brand for years, I do expect a certain amount of recognition but not here. This hotel is a factory. No personalized service, no amenities. Upgrades? Forget about it. I had booked 2 harbor view rooms. Got 2 rooms on the 8th floor overlooking the back area of the hotel. No one answers the service line. Messaged for some amenities through the app and they never were delivered. Don't know why this is a Marquis. It's just as good or bad as a regular Marriott.

This review is for their seasonal outside roller skate rink. Awesome view, perfect weather to skate in! You can pay online or pay in person. You can bring your own skates, otherwise your ticket price comes with a skate rental. They play music and have a little snack bar area set up outside, don't forget your water or you will pay hotel price for a bottle of water. They sell ice cream too. You don't have to be a guest to skate. We will definitely return next year.

We stayed here for a few days to attend a conference at the San Diego Convention Center. The proximity to the Convention Center is great, easy walking distance. Plenty of restaurants both in the hotel and close by. Check-in and check-out were both uneventful. We were under two different reservations by our mistake so we spent a couple days in a king guest room in the south tower with views of the pool and beautiful bay. The last night we had a balcony double queen in the north tower. Both rooms were nice with a few noted face-lifts and remodeling. The bathroom in the balcony room was not very nice, but the king room appeared recently updated. Overall, both rooms were adequate and also came with mini fridges and a basic b coffee maker. The views from both were really spectacular, the balcony didn't add much to my stay to be honest. I dined in the Marina Kitchen one night and it was really good. I grabbed drinks there again a second night and both nights had a fabulous server. Pools were gorgeous and fun and we also enjoyed the 21+ hot tub. From the pool you can access the boardwalk and stroll in the sun by the water and check out shops and restaurants. There were lots of meeting rooms as well and we visited one for an event. They were nicely maintained and the layout worked well for the gathering. Overall it's a nice Marriott property with a gorgeous view and close to the airport. Definitely would stay here again.

Wonderful location and my view of the pool was nice. The bed was very comfortable and the room clean. It was quiet when I was sleeping.

Great location. Can walk to down town destinations. On the water. Right off the freeway. Great room with a view.

What is one one Hotel Resort that looks like a Lemon and half moon that sits near the Harbor overlooking the site of Coronado and and the Back Bridge ? From the many hotels that I have been to in the many sites for the Marriott Marquis with one of the greatest designs of an elevated convention center to have an area that has several floors. The Marriott Marquis has one of the many outdoor art designs that show cases the the wave designs for the waves give creative design and the color to the Marquin. The plants and the palm trees of the of the Marriott make the presence of the Island of Hawaii. The Marriott is one that is almost mirror Image of the Mirage for the hotel is no more . The many areas inside the Marriott are one of many colors the dark designs the marble and carpeting designs give nice feel for families and companies that come to the Marriott. When the Holidays come the Marriott Marquis designs a red light Christmas Tree between the two towers of the Resort Hotel.. The many times that Image been to the Marriott the new remodel of the Hotel made it more to fit the outdoor presence of the Hawaiian display for the front of the Hotel Resort you have the largefountain that gives beauty to the front . For the new Marriott Marquis Convention rooms you have large convention rooms going to see the new part I was amazed at the size for Manchester Grand makes up in length. Finding the best coffee and the food restaurants are some of the best that overlook the marina to have breakfast seeing the many boats of the Marina. For the Marriott Marquis being up on the raised part you have an incredible that you makes you straight across the bay from the suites you have much more . As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the Marriott Marquis is one Hotel Resort that don't let the shapes fool you the walk through the resort that is one great adventure. From the great customer ice which the best the service in the restaurant to the front desk they know what hospitality is all about .

THE MEGA MARRIOT! I've visited this Marriott a couple of times now mainly for San Diego Comic Con business and it's definitely one of my favorites of this franchise. It's massive, it has a multitude of ballrooms, meeting rooms, and work spaces for professionals and con-goers. It's also well-known for its amenities such as the gorgeous pool, grab-n-go eateries and lovely restaurants. My favorite thing about this hotel is that there isn't a bad view in the place. Every window you look out of either has a view of the gorgeous San Diego harbor and Coronado or the San Diego cityscape! It's such a pleasant experience visiting this hotel. There's plenty of common areas to chill or make a quick phone call. I had a quick brunch during SDCC here in one of the common spaces while admiring the views and I LOVED it! The hotel also has a bunch of escalators and is quite accessible for people with disabilities. I spotted several ramps! Signage is pretty good too, I'm able to find my way quickly (then again I've been coming here for years). The drop-off space in front of the main lobby is wide and easy to get in and out of! I highly recommend ubering if you're here for a quick stay! I have to give a massive shout out to the cleaning and housekeeping staff. There was a young gentleman cleaning the restrooms on the third level at ALL times. He did an amazing job! Please give him a raise, he was so nice and kept the restrooms pristine. Overall, the hotel was very clean and the floors were always spotless! That's amazing considering the amount of people walking around here everyday! My one issue is that this hotel doesn't provide more rooms during the SDCC hotel blocks. In fact, they reduce the amount of rooms allotted to SDCC attendees so they can force people to stay at a regular (far more expensive) price. It's kinda shady and I hope they please fix this!

Parking was pure chaos. I had free in-and-out parking included in my hotel rate. When I showed up to check in, the circular driveway up to the front door, where you should be able to park temporarily to check in, was blocked by a barrier. So, I had to park in the garage. The thing is, I was not technically a hotel guest at that minute because I had not checked in yet, thanks to the driveway being blocked. So, I took a paper ticket, worried I would have to pay for parking because I held the ticket. When I checked in, she lady at the front desk took the paper ticket from me and said parking was covered, just use my hotel keys to get in and out. When I left the next day, I did not see where to use my hotel key at the parking exit. And since I did not have the paper ticket, I was considered a "lost ticket" and had to pay $50 with a credit card to get out. When I returned, I noticed two adjacent driveways leading to parking structures. They were poorly signed, so I did not know which to choose. So, I went to the one on the left. It turned out to be the "overflow" parking, not the regular parking. The lady at the gate said I could not use my hotel key to go in as I was told to do. She said I had to get a special barcode card from the Marriott (not the same as a room key) so I would not be charged. When I tried to exit this parking structure on foot, the elevator smelled like urine, and the marked path to the Marriott was strange, taking me along a zig-zag route past dumpsters, up a steep incline, etc. The next day, I went to the front desk at the Marriott to ask questions about parking. She said the Marriott doesn't handle parking and that there is a separate Ace parking desk where I could go. I went there and explained all the issues. They gave me a special barcode card. I asked them to waive the $50 I had paid because parking was supposed to be included. The guy at the desk said he would have his manager call me. He did not call me all day. So, when I returned in the evening, I went to the Ace parking desk again. The new guy checked the computer and said it was not on my account, so it had been waived. However, the charge was still there when I checked my bank statement. On another day, I returned and tried to enter the parking adjacent to the Marriott, but it was not the overflow parking. However, after entering, I saw a sign saying the structure was full and arrows were taking me to some outdoor parking. The outdoor parking had posted "Marina Parking" and signs saying I would be towed if I did not have a marina parking permit. There was no indication that this outdoor area was Marriott parking. I parked anyway and went inside and up to the Ace desk. He assured me that I would not be towed. We'll see. The next day, I went to the Ace Parking desk again. This time, I brought a screenshot of the $50 charge. The guy there could not credit me, so I had to wait for the Ace manager. When the manager finally came, he said he would credit me, and it would take 8-10 (!) days to see reimbursement. Why? I can return a shirt to Macy's and be credited immediately. I was able to get out of the garage that day. When returning, the Marriott parking garage was closed entirely. The attendant directed me to the overflow garage again. He gave me another barcode card. I parked, but I climbed two flights to avoid the smell of the urine-soaked elevator. Then, I crossed a road and climbed another flight in a different building. Then, up the steep incline again to the hotel's front door. Sineage sucked. I plan to check out early tomorrow because I can't handle all this chaos and dismal service. Not a fan. I recommend that you go elsewhere.

An Exceptional Experience at Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina Our recent stay at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina was absolutely stunning. The rooms were spacious, modern, and incredibly comfortable, with breathtaking views of the marina and city skyline. The service was exceptional, especially at the Bell desk, where the staff was always friendly and helpful. Dining at the resort was a delight, with delicious options available and a convenient on-site Starbucks providing excellent coffee and snacks. Overall, the combination of luxurious accommodations, outstanding service, and spectacular views made our stay truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this resort and look forward to returning.

We booked a room here on a whim during the Fourth of July weekend and all I have to say is, wow! Not only is his property gorgeous; from the entryway, the pool, the rooms, and the dining areas, but the staff is also incredibly friendly. Our room was on the 22nd floor, facing south, which gave us a beautiful view of the Coronado bridge and Coronado Island. We also were overlooking the pool area which are massive and beautiful. We booked this hotel based on price and how close it is to Petco Park. We had tickets for the game that night, but wanted to walk to the stadium. From the hotel lobby to Petco was less than 10-minutes and we did it with two children under six. For a one night stay with taxes included, It was just about $340; which for a property like this is a steal. We spent our final hours here at the pool after checking out and enjoyed some coffee and perfect weather. They have about three or four restaurants on site and that doesn't include the multiple express markets around the property. The express markets offer a selection of premade sandwiches, bottles of water, and snacks perfect for those late night hunger needs. I highly suggest self parking as valet will run you $65 a day. Did I mention self parking is free? Besides Petco Park, this hotel is right next-door to the San Diego convention center, where Comic-Con happens, and across the street from the Gaslamp Quarter. I don't know when I'll be in San Diego again, but this hotel will definitely be the top of my list.

Got early check in on new years eve, process was easy and breeze. Wonderful customer service was given to me. BEST SMORES COOKIE at exchange marketplace located inside hotel.

I've been wanting to stay at this Marriott property for a while now mainly because of the M Lounge and location since we visit San Diego often and stay at the Grant Hotel which is a few blocks away and closer to hr Gaslamp. This hotel is at a great location walking distance from Seaport village. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and looked pretty new. Every single staff member I interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful and even the ones just passing by would greet you. The person that checked me in was extremely nice and accommodating. Room requests we got really quickly. The pools and hot tubs were clean and there were always towels in the day. One night they didn't have any but in the day there's someone there to make sure they don't run out. The gym is nice and has free weights, machines like, lots of cardio, and a studio where they offer free daily classes included with your stay. You also get 2 glasses of wine, an hour of bike rental for two, and kayak rental. All in all a pretty great package. The reason I gave 4 stars is because of the lounge. It was quite underwhelming. I can understand them not having any breakfast or evening service on the weekends but they had no snacks either. Only apples and in the morning yogurt and Bananas. They also had 3 types of soda Pepsi, diet Pepsi, and Starry. But one they ran out of diet Pepsi they didn't refill it. Two days after they ran out when I checked out they still had not restocked. In the morning also once they ran out of the initial yogurts they didn't refill them for other people. Even if it's minimal at least have something in the lounge. The only thing available is pretty much soda and coffee on the weekends. Very disappointing. It's definitely on the bottom of my list as far as M Lounges. So if you are staying here with elite status be prepared for pretty much nothing at the lounge on weekends. If you're not elite and staying over the weekend, don't pay extra for the lounge it's not worth it. Monday through Friday is good but not weekends. Other than that great property to stay at. Highly recommend it.

Stayed here for the first time for just one night in Feb 2024 and it was a wonderful stay. We booked the room with parking package and got an amazing upgrade to a suite but it was due to being a Marriott ambassador status probably. The view from the room was amazing!! There was a balcony you can hang out. The staff at the hotel were all super helpful from arriving and getting directed to the proper self parking garage, to the front desk, everyone was great. Lounge access (free for platinum+ Marriott members) is 24 hours but all of Sat and Sun morning, there is no breakfast. You can get coffee, water (dispenser, no bottles), soda, and some snacks like nuts, candy, chocolate covered pretzels. We had drinks at the hotel bar restaurant and it was good. It was cold in Feb so we did not go to the pool. Overnight, great hotel if you want to be in downtown and close to the marina.

Very clean and welcoming hotel in a very beautiful spot in a very perfect spot w/close proximity to so so many things to include the marina to load onto the ferry to head to Coronado Island(not an island but it makes them feel better to call it that I guess). Staff was wonderful. The food in all the different hotel spots was all pretty solid. Great pool area. Nice rooms. Very quiet. Very much enjoyed our stay.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I absolutely would. The staff at valet were shockingly unprofessional and disrespectful. I entrusted them with my high-end Cybertruck, only to find out later that they had taken it for a joyride. I was sent videos of them blasting music and singing loudly in my car at 2 AM! Nobody offered to help me while I arrived at the Marriott Marquis to help us with our bags i had to get my own cart..... This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. It shows a complete lack of respect for customers and their property. When I addressed the situation with the manager, I expected this to be handled seriously, but the entire experience left me furious and deeply disappointed. I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who values their belongings or expects basic professionalism.

This is our go to staycation spot. We stay several times a year here. Surprised to see that this has only 3.6 stars. Negatives: parking is expensive and if you self park it's difficult to get your bags to your room. Resort fees are high but you do get credit back so if you purchase anything or use the facilities it pays for itself. Pros: the views! Come on, you're in San Diego, Americas Finest City! Location, walking distance to downtown, bars, restaurants, shopping, Seaport Village, Waterfront, Little Italy short Uber ride away. Staff here are always accommodating. Rooms are always clean and comfortable. You simply can't beat this place in San Diego!

The bar looks great Staff were friendly. Ordered the shrimp walnut appetizer. It tasted stale and off. Like mostly Mayo taste. We each had one and no-one out of 4 of us went for second. Charcuterie plate was mediocre. Ham slices were 40% fat. Cheese was nothing special. The grilled octopus was beautifully made. Absolutely among the best I've had. Please stop automatically charging 18% service charge. Tips are not tax. Give good service and good food and.let your waiters and waitresses and chefs have an incentive. It's B.S. to charge 18% for 4 people giving you their business at the bar.

As a high level Bonvoy lifetime member, I loved the recognition of my status at check-in and the upgraded room with an awesome view of the harbor. The hotel's décor was updated in 2023. The designer calls it an urban buzz with a beachside state of mind. The M Lounge is massive and so much better than the old Concierge Lounge. This hotel's location is perfect, near the Convention Center and the Seaboard Village shops. I was at the hotel for a conference attended by over 1,000 members of the Legal Marketing Association. The elevators could never keep up. There was literally a line all the time on the lobby level and then the elevator wouldn't stop on your floor to get you back to the lobby. Fortunately, I was on the 7th floor, and I started taking the steps, which was much quicker. I like the fact the hotel has a Starbucks in the lobby, but what I don't like is paying $2 extra for the same drink I normally order at a neighborhood Starbucks. I get the convenience factor, but it still seems excessive. The workout room on the ground floor was massive, clean and well stocked with great equipment. However, if you love to run, do it outside by the harbor and the USS Midway.

The Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina is a property that benefits from a stupendous location, lots of features (restaurants, ballrooms, the pool area, etc.) and a beautiful architecture (as long as you don''t look too close because the outside needs cleaning and touch ups). However, there are also some big negatives that bring my opinion down to a 3 star review. I actually considered a 2 star review but I felt generous at the last minute. This Marriott is located on the San Diego waterfront right next door to the convention center. The Gaslamp District is only a walk away as are many of the city's best attractions. Customer service is lacking. We called ahead to reserve a particular room (not a category of room but a particular individual room). The phone representative assured us of the reservation and room; we paid a surcharge to reserve that room. But when we checked in, guess what, that room was NOT available and had - by some mistake - been given to somebody else. The front desk manager, Crystal, did a very good job of defusing the situation and was quite professional. And when we continued to express our dissatisfaction, she became harsh. So, bottom line, what had been our dream room on the 21st floor was still given away and we had to take the "only" room that was available then on the 8th floor. It was a real let down of course. But the real negative reaction here was Crystal's justification that the hotel had the right to give away a room we had reserved in advance and paid for. So, at the end we were able to have that room without the surcharge, but it set the tone for a mediocre stay. At first, the hotel offered to deduct only 1 day's worth of the surcharge. We had to argue to have the surcharge removed for our entire stay. The other customer service at this hotel was likewise mediocre. Housekeeping was not consistent or good. The service personnel in the M Club - Marriott's club room - were absolutely terrible. And the M Club provides little more than water (still and sparkling), coke and diet coke, beer - with some tacky snacks like mini pretzels, chocolate kisses and peanuts. Really I expect more from a club room especially at a Marriott. The decoration and design of this hotel is likewise not up to par for a luxury property. It is definitely due for an update. The rooms for sure look 10-15 years behind the times. The design is quiestionable at best (too many surfaces, too many textures, odd choices). For example, the room's TV is placed directly in front of the window that looks out on the waterview and the marina. Who would do that? Further, the luxury cues are just not here. The towels are cheap and thin. Housekeeping would not give us additional soap or towels and, when we asked for a later refresh of our room, the answer was no. I am sorry to write such a review. I wanted to like this place. But, unless I needed to be at that particular location in San Diego, I would certainly stay at another hotel.

Price: 4* Location: 5* Value: 4* Service: 5* Ambience: 5* Lounge: 5* During a conference, I stayed at the Marriott Marquis in a King balcony room. If you can swing it, I would highly recommend. The room was large, comfortable, and well appointed. The balcony, while small, is still ample to seat two adults comfortably. The M club lounge was fantastic. Large, very well appointed and many food and snack options. The lounge is open 24/7 so go and get your coffee or fruit or drinks anytime. I would stay here again and again.

Marriott This is a very nice hotel that was perfect for my needs during my stay. I visited late February for a convention and this was the headquartered hotel. The hotel and its city and marina views are beautiful - both day and night. Check in was easy for such a large hotel and the front desk staff was wonderful with exceptional customer service. It was also one of the few hotels I've visited that had a designated area for deliveries. One of the biggest advantages to staying here was the proximity to downtown and the Gaslamp district. They had so many great restaurants and things to do, it was the perfect hotel for a vacation. Not to mention a great location with quick access to the walking trail around the marina. The room itself was clean, but had a few problems. When I tried to sleep the hallway light shined pretty bright from under the door. Because our rooms are so close together, you can hear some of what is going on in the rooms around you. For example, a heavy sleeper's alarm rang for a little over 5 minutes one morning, and on the second night/early morning of my stay an intoxicated couple could be heard arguing in their room. I also had a few issues with the bathroom. The bathroom was small and got very hot when I blow dried my hair with the door closed to avoid waking up neighbors. There was no place to hang hand towels after drying hands unless I put them on the rod in the shower. Speaking of the shower, it was spacious, but some of the tiles were jagged and uncomfortable to stand on. on the brighter side the bathroom had a motion activated night light - not too bright if you need to see in the middle of the night. Most of the issues I had were only minor inconveniences, but I wanted to bring attention to them nonetheless. I enjoyed my stay and my room was very comfortable. I highly recommend staying here when visiting San Diego.

This property is in a prime location. i was on the 24th floor with a balcony and a view of the water and the city. the service i got here was great, from the front desk to housekeeping. there a few places on property to get food; they had a good breakfast buffet and some cool vending machines. they have two pools and two hot tubs, lots of lounge chairs. a really nice property there was a lot of things to explore all within walking distance, i'd stay here again.

Big hotel and lots of amenities. The hotel is also a prime location between the marina and Gaslamp Quarter. Everything is pretty much walking distance.

Amazing location right at the water in downtown SD next to Seaport Village. This place is perfect for attending events at the convention center or just relaxing in beautiful San Diego. Get a room with Marina View balcony and enjoy the view of the harbor, Coronado, North Island and sunsets over Point Loma. The pool is large, well kept and clean. Water is warm in the winter. There are tons of restaurants and cafes within a few minutes walk. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only drawback are the large crowds and pricy parking.

This review is for THE EXCHANGE FOOD MARKET inside the Marriott Marquis. We eat here a lot as we have a boat in the marina. Everything is always really good and I've never had a bad meal, snack, dessert or drink. This particular review is specifically for the Avocado toast. I just finished eating it for breakfast this morning and it is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! The lady who made it acted like she was preparing it for the Lord Jesus himself. The presentation is beautiful. The colors are so bright and fresh. The flavor combination and textures are absolutely amazing. I can't believe how delicious this piece of toast was!! It was so DELICIOUS that I had to stop what I was doing and write a review so everyone can rush over to The Exchange and order it. It's the best use of $10 I can think of. i can't wait to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow so I can order it again,

I recently stayed at the Marriott Marquis for a five-day conference, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is incredibly convenient, being so close to the airport. The property is impeccably clean, and the service is outstanding. I was even pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade. The view from my room was amazing, and everything else was top-notch. The hotel also has several restaurants that serve excellent cocktails, appetizers, and food. The gift shop is great, too--I was able to find necessities such as yoga attire and other clothing. The food and service at the conference were exceptional. I would definitely visit this location again.

Still my favorite hotel! I feel at peace when I'm here, I love it. It's my Californian Hawaii. The pool area and tequila bar is the best place to lounge and relax. I went in early July this year and thought it would be overly crowded with family vacations, but there were no issues with wait times or finding a good spot at the pool. Looks like they've updated the rooms, which are really nice now. I recommend staying in a bay view room. Don't think the balcony rooms are worth the extra costs. You have to be standing up to really enjoy the view, the guardrail is too high, for safety reasons, I'm sure. The only thing they should fix is the elevator system. They need express ones or need to block them off by floors. You can get stuck for a while coming down to the lobby, so for that reason, I wouldn't try and stay on a super high floor. Floors in the 15 range are good.

Pros: great location, room was clean and comfortable with little coffee maker and refrigerator. Pool area was nice and well maintained. Service including check in and out was quick and professional. Cons: self-parking is 45 dollars and was little tricky (ask for in and out privileges), and they do charge you 39.95 resort fee (that includes an hour of bike rental and other little perks) so BE AWARE.

Had a fantastic stay at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina! As an Elite Gold Bonvoy member, we were upgraded to a beautiful room with a balcony and a breathtaking view of the bay. The location is ideal for walking, and the hotel is clean with a friendly staff. Highly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable experience in San Diego!

This review is for the Grand Ballroom and dining service for events at the Marriott Marquis. I haven't used the other hotel amenities or stayed overnight. The Grand Ballroom is a beautiful space, the lighting and ceiling decor makes me think of the ocean (very San Diego). The chairs weren't the most comfortable, but I've certainly sat in worse at receptions. The luncheon provided as part of this event included an Asian inspired chicken salad, chocolate dessert, and bread. The bread and dessert were on the table when we sat down, but there weren't any bread plates. We were left looking at bread and a tomato tapenade and had to wait until our main course was provided.Service was a bit slow but there were about 70 ballroom rounds of guests. Drinks weren't refilled. Overall, it's a lovely venue but the catering service left much to be desired. Self-Parking was $20 for the event and there were attendants when you arrive so you pay before parking. As such, it took some time to get into the parking garage - be sure to allow extra time to park. It's a bit of a walk from the parking garage to the hotel, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. The Marriott Marquis is rather huge based on my experience walking across it to get to the ballroom.

The Marriott Marquis is located near Seaport Village and the Convention Center in downtown San Diego. It is in a very convenient location with many great restaurants in walking distance. Some areas of the Gaslamp and Downtown can have a much dirtier or grungier feel, but the Marriott's location near the water makes it just far enough from the main drag to maintain a little bit of isolation from the hustle and bustle of downtown without being too far to enjoy everything it has to offer. I visited this hotel for a conference. The hotel has a large conference area with a variety of ballrooms and breakout spaces. It's a great space for a conference! The staff was highly accommodating and provided a lot of support in addition to the conference staff. I was impressed with how well staff the conference was from the hotel side of the house.

This property is quite pretty. The layout is very open and takes full advantage of the beautiful San Diego weather. The pool area was always busy, yet never felt overly crowded. It is close to the marina and Seaport Village - a lovely little walk by the water. My room was great and had a patio that overlooked the marina and the city! It was stunning, no matter the time of day. I was there for a conference and I was impressed with the service throughout the week. The rooms were kept clean and the staff were very attentive. This is a great property for an event and I hope I have the opportunity to stay there again soon.

Overall, our stay here was good. The hotel is clean, and modern. My issue was that stayed for 3 nights and not once did housekeeping come in to give more towels or make the bed. We even asked for it to be done at one point and it did not happen. The hotel rooms are not cheap so something like housekeeping matters. Was disappointed to say the least

We loved our stay here down in San Diego, this hotel is super convenient and walking distance to downtown. We ended up staying in one of the bay room view suits on the 11th floor. Such beautiful views of the water and Coronado. Alexa was super helpful assisting us with our room and Nono did a great job checking us in. The property is clean and there's tons of food options. They also have the Top golf simulator next to Roy's which we thought was cool. We ended up walking to Petco park for a concert then to the bars and back. The only recommendation I had was that the service desk would answer a little phone a little sooner and they offer more towels than just the two. We had to wait a while for more which delayed us a bit. Overall, great option when staying downtown.

Amazing view of the bay and city. Rooms have been recently renovated and it's now much more inviting and fresh looking. Location is perfect, walking distance to the marina and to the water taxi to cross the bay to Coronado island. The pool is a plus for the kids, heated all year!

Beautiful hotel and incredible amenities for Bonvoy members. The pool is nice and the location is pretty central to most places. There was a conference here and it still didn't seem that crowded. I wish the insulation between the adjoining room doors was better as we had some loud kids next to us. Also, if your room faces the Rady Shell, be prepared to have any concert (not just the orchestra) blast through the windows. This alone makes me want to rate this low but I know it's not the hotel's fault.

Our stay was brief but absolutely amazing. The beds are so comfortable made for great sleep. The staff was so attentive and accommodating. We will return for sure.

Beautiful hotel and service was great. I only give 3 stars because they made me pay $15/night for food credit i didn't want. I tried to use it on the last date after i checked out and it was too late. These resort fees are annoying.

10/10!! Not sure if it's because we had a poor experience at a boutique hotel 5 minutes away the night before but this Marriott was a complete step up and then some! The property is gorgeous, in the heart of Gaslamp which was perfect for staying in town for some baseball, the walk into the shoreline village was so beautiful and the accommodations were great. The parking situation was a breeze, all bellman were so nice and helpful, the front desk was able to get us in early and the room was gorgeous. AC blasted, great shower and views of the city on our side. The workers at the marketplace knew us after 3 trips down for water and they were so sweet as well. For all the amenities, distance and quality this place is worth it all! Will be back soon :)

My first day, I couldn't get out of the parking lot for over an hour and had to keep going to the front desk to get help. I missed an hour of a conference that I was in town to go to. They had a system wide issue with the parking lot. When we checked in, they took my card for incidentals. They did not tell me that they charged $80 a day for incidentals and I ended up with a $320 charge on my credit card. We asked for room service and did not receive it the whole time we were there. On the last day, I went to the front desk to settle the bill and I was told that there would be no charges on my account when I checked out. The day after I checked out a $137 fee was placed onto my credit card for the "resort fee" which I thought I had already paid. While the room was nice, these incidents really made my stay not enjoyable.

Very disappointed in the valet service tonight. Attended a Christmas party. Drove up for valet. Curbside valet said I could pay inside and he took my car. I went in and paid. The valet desk did NOT say that we had to come back to the Valet desk inside to get my receipt matched up with my keys so they could pass it to the "runners" outside. So - at the end of the evening I waited outside so I could give one of the runners my receipt. Waited almost 10 min. No service. One of the other guests said I had to go back inside and stand in line at the desk for them to take my receipt. After standing in line for another 12 min. I asked the Valet at the desk why he didn't explain that to me when I prepaid. He said, "I don't know". My husband talked to the outdoor manager of the valets and he apologized and could only say that it was a busy night. Not the reason why no one let us know the procedures. We waited over 30 min to get our car. Totally unacceptable. Other hotels have you pay and pick up outside - directly. No lines to wait in. Very disappointed in the service. Poor management of a very simple procedure. If I had known I had to go back to the inside valet desk, I would have the first time. Without having to wait over 30 min. just to get my car. In addition, at least 4 other people asked me (as I was standing outside), what we were supposed to do to get their cars delivered. I said - go back inside and get in line. This would have been quicker and people happier if they had been told of the procedures to START WITH.

I love all Marriott properties. This hotel is very nice and clean. The only thing that I did not like was the fact that they didn't have breakfast. So as a platinum elite member, I usually get breakfast free however, when I came here, it was only breakfast so cold. I do think Marriott could do better by offering us platinum elitemembers full breakfast. Other than the breakfast, the property was absolutely gorgeous very well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend if you're in San Diego to stay at the Marriott Marquis.

Great waterfront marina location, walking distance to Gaslamp district, seaport village, little Italy and many more. This is a true resort hotel, park your car and you're done. Great amenities like the big tropical pool and the many restaurants and bars available to you, it is a big hotel but feels comfy. Walk right outside to the marina with yachts in front. Service by all employees at hotel were excellent except the chunky lady bartender at market kitchen bar on 1/27 around 6:45 who poured chintzy drinks, order from the men, they pour better!

Patrick V....at the front desk..... exemplifies what customer skills and services are about....it's not only what you get from a property ... But more importantly is what you feel during and after you leave.......it's what make you say..."I want to come to this place again....and bring my family as well....." Perfect location to relax, restaurants all around..Bayfront activities. Perfect views, we celebrated our anniversary, and Patrick made it so memorable.... High floor views show you pool, Bayfront activities, navy ships and planes flying by......

We used to love staying at this hotel for the pool. Now they took 1 side of the pool and made it all reserved seating where you have to pay for the chairs for the day. Beach towels offered are now small bath towels unless you opt for the paid chairs! The pool is super crowded and u less you get there by 10, you won't get a good spot.

The hotel is very new. Everything looks luxurious. The staff are very professional but cool. The hotel room is very clean. Our room has wonderful views. Near the hotel, there is a children's museum which is good for little ones. Parking is a big problem. there was no clear sign of a parking lot so we went to the convention center which is not for hotel guests. Right after you pass the hotel building which is the right parking lot. You will have to check in first to enter the parking lot. The hotel guesses parking is located inside a building but there is no clear sign to follow. We drive to the backyard which is reserved parking. The parking space is very small so you can have a lot of stress. There are four levels. Forth level is the lobby. The hotel will charge you an extra 85 dollars when you check out.

First time here! I loved my bathroom, bedroom, and the pool area very much because they were so cool.
