The Spotlight on Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

Relaxed Vibes in the Heart of San Diego's Music Scene

Modern, colorful, and tropical in all the right ways, Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter brings a laid-back island feel to the buzzing heart of downtown San Diego. Just steps from the Gaslamp Quarter’s renowned nightlife and within easy walking distance of top concert venues and PETCO Park, the hotel offers a perfect mix of comfort and convenience for music lovers.
Spacious rooms come with 55-inch flat-screen TVs, spa-style bathrooms, and some even feature city views or spa baths. Whether you're pre-gaming before the show or winding down after, the rooftop pool and lounge are the place to be.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Margaritaville nails it. You're within walking distance of major venues, including shows at PETCO Park and the Convention Center. Despite being in San Diego’s energetic entertainment district, guests say rooms stay surprisingly quiet—ideal for post-concert rest. Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, giving you enough time to sleep in after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to hit the rooftop bar before or after the show
  • Solo travelers ticking a concert off their bucket list
  • Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
  • Fans who want a chill place to recharge after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting great value in a top location

Food and Drink Options

If you're craving something late, the rooftop lounge serves food and drinks with a view, and there's a wide selection of walkable eateries in the Gaslamp Quarter. While there's no 24/7 room service, breakfast is available—perfect for morning-after recovery. The on-site dining leans toward the coastal and casual, right in line with the hotel’s island-inspired vibe.

Nightlife Options

  • On-site rooftop lounge with music and great views
  • Surrounded by bars, clubs, and live music venues in the Gaslamp Quarter
  • Local breweries and cocktail spots just a stroll away

What People Say

Guests love the fun, tropical décor, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Reviewers often mention the easy walk to concerts and games, as well as the clean, stylish rooms and rooftop pool as standout features. Many say it’s a spot they’d come back to for another music weekend.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the parking fees are on the higher side and valet is the only on-site option. Also, while the rooftop area is a hit, it can get a bit busy before and after events—so plan ahead if you're aiming for a prime seat.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to San Diego for a concert, Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter offers laid-back comfort, rooftop vibes, and the ultimate downtown location—just steps from the action.

Great location / staff -...

Liked: Best thing about the property is its location very close to the Gaslamp and walking distance to numerous bars and restaurants If like ‘grain bowls’ the one in hotel bar was delicious Land Shark beer was very nice - always aim for Happy Hours in all bars / restaurants when in San DiegoVery attentive professional staff - shout out to Brett, Wiatt and Jayden. Manager dealt with noise complaint quickly and efficiently. Property was very clean and had a very nice vibe about it Lobby area was pristine and comfortable
Disliked: Our really only complaints were the size of the pool area, cost of cabana ($250 a day and never used so a waste of space for sunbeds) and the noise we experienced for 3 nights from other guests hence our score of 7 (would have been 9 otherwise) Noise was our main issue - noise from other drunken guests and cleaning staff talking loudly in mornings / shouting ‘housekeeping’ along corridors when most had a ‘chill’ do not disturb hanger on door. We appreciated the hotel cannot police all guests but they do state a 10pm noise zone. This was the reason we had to get a room change. Our initial room 908 was mid corridor and adjoining. Admittedly it was the weekend but we had multiple incidents of drunken guests including families shouting / talking loudly after 2am in morning. Post our room change after 3rd day we moved to room 503 which was a corner room and much quieter If booking I’d aim to request a corner room to avoid some of the noise issues. It’s a pity because otherwise was an excellent hotel with great staff in a prime location.
