Convenient location. $68/night valet parking only. Mid- breakfast
Pros:

Perfect location. Close to all the main spots that you may want to visit.

Cons:

The breakfast was not all that. Was not what I expected it to be. I did not like that valet parking is $68/night and there’s no close parking nearby. Closest parking garage is like a 15minute walk give or take.

Numerous Staff members were Rude and Very unprofessional! This place has potential but is totally under performing for a
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Front of House Staff! A bunch of morons who clearly have no etiquette! Upon check in and check out! The facility is surrounded by filthy sidewalks and adjoining establishments that resemble a college fraternity on a good night and a homeless encampment on all nights! If you like the smell of Urine then this AC Marriott excels and then their staff thinks it’s ok to shit all over you! It’s an out house of a place to stay!

Pros:

Everything except one thing……

Cons:

Location on the busiest street in San Diego. Ridiculously noisy if in a room at the front. We asked to be moved after one night and they kindly did.

As long as you’re not in a front room, great hotel!

Excellent place for a date night
Pros:

Location! Cleanliness! Staff attitude from front desk to bartender! Ease of checking in and out! Street view from the room!

Cons:

The valet guys seemed too cool for school. I wish the restaurant had a wider menu for dinner.
