Great hotel. Super safe. Right next door to the police station and located next to nice little shops. Suite was worth the extra bucks.

Through no fault of the hotel, had terribly rude people talking loudly/cussing in the middle of the night! Fortunately, the staff took appropriate action and it stopped. Otherwise, great stay, wonderful room - quiet and very clean!

In my travels Marriott has my rating next to the top. San diego area has no continental breakfast. Too bad. Forceses to go elswhere to avoid very pricey breakfast. If in a hurry I may choose to purchase something. Not enough towel bars or hooks for two people to hang towell to reuse. Not much expense to ha a towell bar for two towels
