A great hotel with unresolved issues
Pros:

My stay at the Margaritaville Gaslamp was a mixed experience. On one hand, the hotels is modern, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the facilities are quite nice, and the bed is comfortable. On the other hand, I had a leaky tub facet that never got fixed even after requesting maintenance, cold to lukewarm morning showers due to not enough hot water, and a bottle of water in the room is $10! Finally, the breakfast at the restaurant was a small portion of sub-par food at a high price.

Hospitality Done Right
Pros:

Mary made our visit genuinely great. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She checked in at all the right moments without ever hovering, made great recommendations, and handled everything with a calm, friendly confidence that made the experience feel easy and welcoming. You can tell she truly cares about the guests and takes pride in what she does. Service like that makes a place worth coming back to—Mary absolutely elevated the whole visit.

Great experience at the bar!
Pros:

This is regarding the bar and Sa who’s their amazing bartender. Outstanding service. From the moment you sit down, he makes you feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. His attention to detail behind the bar is top-tier—drinks are crafted perfectly, service is timely, and nothing feels rushed or overlooked. What really sets him apart is his personality: approachable, personable, and attentive in a way that makes you feel valued, not just served. He strikes the rare balance of being highly professional while creating a comfortable, enjoyable experience. Easily one of the best bartenders you’ll come across.

Pros:

Kamal, the parking/valet guy was such a joy. He greeted us with big smile and positive attitude. Every time I come out to take my dog for potty, he's out there greeting everyone cheerfully. The room was clean and it smells fresh. The whole hotel was spacious and clean.

Cons:

Probably we could use more lighting in the room. Both my parents had a hard time reading because of the lights not being bright enough.
