    Nice clean hotel with an excellent location to the Magnolia Theatre (just across the street). Our Expedia conformation showed check-in time to be 3:00PM. Upon arrival at 2:50PM I was told our room wouldn't be ready until 4:00PM check-in time. I showed her my conformation email and was then able to check-in at 3:25. There is a bar in the lobby which would have been nice to wait in, but it doesn't open until 5:00PM. We were disappointed that there is not a complimentary breakfast at this Marriott. My husband and I are retired and travel alot and always book hotels with a light breakfast. For that reason, we will stay at another hotel in the area next time.

    The proper was well maintained and close to everything. Nothing more than 10 - 15 min drive. The room was clean and updated. The only issue was the shower. The water pressure was a not that good. But over all I would recommend on stay here. It was worth the price.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel experience was amazing. The room was extremely clean extremely well kept. The heated pool and heated. Jacuzzi were amazing. Definitely will be staying there again with my family when we go back to San Diego.

    No fan in bathroom… and bathroom door was heavy and needed a prop to get airflow

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    All of the staff was very friendly and helpful, but it was frustrating that the espresso machine was not working during our stay, the Starbucks was out of oatmeal on Saturday and then our TV did not work on Sunday and I could not call the front desk to get help because the phone wouldn’t work.

    Thanks

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The hotel is very well maintained and cleaned; the pool is heated, the beds are completely; however, the only thing why it was not a 5 star hotel was the sofa bed mattress really needs an update; is not usable very worn out.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Clean and comfortable Tv was blinking on and off and annoying. I had a restaurant charge which I never used.
