WORST SERVICE POSSIBLE
Pros:

This was the worst experience we have ever had and we usually love Marriotts. I never write a bad review but decided to after our experience. The staff is very rude, do not care about the customers, just care about themselves and their bottom line. From the moment of our check in to the end. we had one bad experience after the other, I am sad they do not understand service.

Pros:

This property works out great for us when we visit Del Mar. It offers easy access to the freeway and is a reasonable distance from Torrey Pines State Park and the Pacific Ocean beach. The generous full breakfast offered as part of the booking is a real plus. The staff at this hotel are exceptionally friendly and eager for your stay to be enjoyable. Parking in the underground garage costs extra, but is worthwhile as on-street parking is limited.

Super friendly, top-notch staffs. Best-in-class experience.
Pros:

My family stayed at the hotel for a month. We initially planned for a 2-week stay but ended up extending it to 4 weeks as we had the most pleasant experience. I've stayed at many Marriott hotels over the years from Ritz HMB to St. Regious NYC and this hotel became one of my favorites, especially considering the cost. Most importantly, the staffs here are top notch, super friendly. Location is very convenient, right next to highway 5, close to plenty good restaurants, grocery, and shopts (Del Mar Highlands Town Center), 5 mins away from Torrey Pines state beach, and the list goes on. I would certainly stay here again when I visit San Diego/La Jolla area.

There was a few flees on the couch, someone kept knocking early in the morning and we looked through the peep hole and it looked like someone was at the wrong door.

Clean tasting water should be a basic.
Pros:

We stayed in a suite, but the sofa was so uncomfortable that we could hardly use it. At check-in, we were given two complimentary water bottles—regardless of whether the stay is for just a day or for 20 days. After that, we were told to get water from the fountain near the gym, but even there, there's no working filter. The water tastes just as odd as the tap water in the room.

They mentioned that room service would be provided every other day, but apparently, they don’t come automatically on the second day—you have the right to call every second day to request fresh linen. The location and suit size, however, was good.

Very good
Pros:

The manager and staff telling me the neighbors could not sleep cuz of the barking of my dog. When the truth is we were with him all night and he never barked. He barked a few when we leave but is quiet after that.

Cons:
