Excellent hotel great staff center of everything
Pros:

Right,in the center of everything.Walking distance to Little Italy and to the Shore point. Minutes from the Zoo. They have farmers market on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s. Walk straight out of the hotel to the market. Great food, great live entertainment.The staff were excellent very courteous and very happy. The bartender was so nice , I can’t remember his name but loves what he does and makes every drink with love.
Would definitely stay there again.

Buyer beware - Good and not so good!
Pros:

The good… location is great for Little Italy, steps from great dining. Hotel gym is modern, 2 Peloton bikes and great for a decent hotel workout. Pool deck is nice.
The not so good.. Do not book here expecting “full service”. Day 2 I left my room at 1230 and stopped at desk to “be sure” my room was serviced. Returned at 430, no one had serviced room. Attempted to call 3 times and no answer, after finally getting a staff member I am told “we do not clean daily. Only every 2 days…" this was shocking to me. I was assured this is “Marriott policy and acceptable” I am not paying for an airbnb or a youth hostel, this shocked me as a loyal Marriott member. Now, after a discussion with a manager my room was serviced, but the fact this is not normal is beyond me. I see no mention of this on their site, and was not advised at check in. Do not book a room with city view, noise from freeway is crazy. There is even a white noise machine in room, I assume for this reason. It is loud from freeway, traffic and planes. Last day, 430am only luke warm water! All in all, too many minus for me to want to return sadly.

10/10 would return again.
Pros:

The hotel was in a very walkable location with access to many local business and events like the weekly farmer's market that happens almost directly outside of the hotel. The location can't be beat and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

San Diego Rocks!
Pros:

Accommodations were exceptional. Maria was able to check us in early due to an early morning flight. We were able to refresh before we took on a beautiful and friendly San Diego | Little Italy. Then to James Taylor concert!

After a good night rest, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Charlene took great care of us day 2 by guiding us to Balboa Park.

Great hotel and location, but ruined by double charges and poor service.
Pros:

The location is excellent, right in the heart of everything. The hotel itself is modern and has a very cozy atmosphere. I was also impressed by the design and the amenities—the quality you get for this price category is outstanding.

Cons:

Double charged my credit card and ignored all refund requests – absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable!
