It’s a simple hotel that has everything I need for my travels. I would stay there again.
Pros:

At first I thought I would have to pay for parking but the hotel has their guests covered. When I was checking out the staff let me know what I could do to avoid that. It was simple and easy. I loved they had starbucks inside as well as walking distance. It was only a 7 minute drive away from the offices I had a work meeting so it was great!

Cons:

Everything was great!

Glad you have some staff that believes in customer service. That makes a difference.
Pros:

My experience was decent/challenging. What made this review go up is the person I spoke to when I checked out. She was very kind. I appreciate her understanding. I told her I wanted to have a great hotel experience. While that was not the exact case she made me want to give Marriott another try. I did not get her name, but I thank you for your sweet demeanor.

Cons:

I paid additional for an upper room. My room was on the fifth floor. The bathroom was not satisfactorily cleaned. Tub was dirty, hair in the corner on the floor, and shower gel was not refilled.

Above and Beyond Service
Pros:

I had a wonderful experience with valet service at the Marriott San Diego La Jolla and wanted to take a moment to recognize Savoy Brown. I was just stopping by briefly to visit a friend and was looking for a place to park when he took the time to offer valet parking, even though I was only going to be there for a short while. His kindness and genuine helpfulness really stood out, and I truly appreciated it.

Mediocre Marriott Property in Need of a Renovation
Pros:

Just incredibly mediocre. I felt like I was at a lower level Marriott property. Absolutely no perks if you have Bonvoy status. And no room service. The first room they put me in was right next to the elevators, which was super loud and I had to wait In line all over again to get the new room even though I called down. Rooms were tired and worn out. The beds were fairly comfortable and the TV was large even tough the room was laid out so the bed was not facing the television. There’s a very small lounge but the breakfast only went until 9am or something very early. The pro here is the location. Close and walking distance to the Westfield mall and some very good restaurants.

Exceptional Bar Staff and a Great Atmosphere!
Pros:

The team behind the bar especially Tony, Fernando, Dion, Juan were not only professional but also genuinely friendly — taking the time to chat, recommend drinks, and remember my preferences throughout my stay. The cocktails were perfectly mixed, beautifully presented, and always served with a smile.
