Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

"The room's carpet was a little worn, but that's the only reason I didn't give them 4 stars all the way. Lots of good food nearby and it's a very short walk to the conference center. Homeless people on the street, who are clearly either mentally ill or on drugs is a big negative for San Diego but I won't ding the hotel for that. If you are going to explore the nearby area or city do it during the day and be inside or nearby the hotel at night. The area immediately nearby the hotel is "relatively " safe."

"We stayed here celebrating our two year anniversary and we had the absolute best time. Monet and Abel were exceptional and accomadated us during our stay. They made our trip very special, gave great recommendations and overall created a positive and inviting atmosphere. We loved the complimentary breakfast, they had options suitable for vegan/vegetarian diet. The hotel was clean, rooms were spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The location is also perfect for visiting restaurants and night life. Thank you to Abel and Monet for the best trip! We will definitely be back!"

"Location is perfect as it is located in heart of downtown San Diego and that was the inky best part. The parking is $60 per night and it was a struggle to find public parking nearby, with all the curb side always full! The services were extremely disappointing! We had to ask for fresh towels and when we requested the room service they mentioned it’s scheduled every alternate day! Everything else was very basic. So if I was getting any other basic hotel with cheap parking i would've exchanged this for that deal! Don’t expect much if you are going by the Marriott in the name!"

"We had a room with the sofa bed, it generally worked, a couple of my observations: The positive: I did like the extra USB plugs in the room and since we were there to go fishing, the freezer was great for our catches. The location is wonderful, walking around with lots of eateries and activities. The negative: My son slept on the sofa bed and said it was uncomfortable. Which is normal I suppose for such a bed, but I had a similar problem on the normal bed. The pillows deflate when you've put your head on it for longer than a minute. My biggest complaint.... I'm not understanding a cashless hotel. Are they purposely trying to keep employees from getting tips? You have to go outside the hotel to try to change money to give tips to the valet. I hated that aspect and could be the one reason I pick a different hotel next time."

"Cannot say enough great things about our stay here. The rooms are beautiful, the service was fantastic, and the area is perfect! This place made our trip so much better than we could have expected, and we will definitely be coming back here any time we fins ourselves in San Diego! I unfortunately didn't get their names, but every person at the desk was so sweet, especially the lady that checked us in. She took the time to talk to us, and when she heard it was my first time in SD, she gave us a super detailed run down of the area and all sorts of pointers on things to do while in town! If you're on the fence of where to pick, this is your sign to stop the search, this is your place!"
