Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

The corner room with a bay view (21st floor) was beautiful, featuring serene light blue decor and exceptional cleanliness. It offered a comfortable king bed and pillows, along with a large bathroom that included a spacious walk-in shower. Just a few tweaks would make the room perfect: a table with seating for in-room dining, a magnifying mirror for makeup application, and the option to remove the TV, as it obstructs the bay view. Housekeeping was very nice and helpful. The only real downside was the crowded pool. A better system for reserving the lounge chairs needs to be figured out. There were lounge chairs open all day, but we were unable to reserve them. I will say the pool area is really beautiful, and the big crowd was friendly.

Overall, a great hotel with a perfect location, especially since it's within walking distance of the Gaslamp Quarter and the trolley. The M Club lounge is ideally situated overlooking the water, but (and this is a common issue with all Marriott lounges) it's not open for breakfast on weekends, which is disappointing since my kids don't eat points. The pool is fantastic, with a longer section that gradually gets deeper, plus a separate kids' pool and Jacuzzis. The seating around the pool is a challenge, though, because it's overcrowded, a problem made worse by Marriott selling day passes to non-guests and reserving basic lounge chairs that went unused during our entire stay. The seating is so tight that they've put lounge chairs in patchy grass areas around the pool, which makes it feel more like a community pool than a four-star hotel. Housekeeping was excellent and anticipated our needs, bringing extra towels and cups without us having to ask. Engineering could use some work: our sink and shower sounded like an alarm going off when running, and the grates on our air conditioner looked like they had mold. The rooms also have a beverage chiller instead of a real mini fridge, which j

I stayed at the Marriott Marquis San Diego for a conference. Everyone associated with the hotel, from the front desk staff to the event staff to the housekeepers provided excellent service. I had lunch at the Marina Kitchen and the food and service was excellent. My group came back later in the evening for dessert and drinks and again, received excellent service. The managers, Sarah and Steve checked on our group a few times and created a welcoming environment for our group to enjoy the evening. We had a great time and appreciate the attentiveness of the managers and servers. I will definitely be back!
