Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown

Good and bad vibrations San...

Liked: The location is excellent. It's very close to the Little Italy trolley station which gives you access to all public transport. The breakfast was good with hot and fresh options. The ladies did an excellent job of keeping everything topped up! The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice with lots of loungers and tables.
Disliked: The noise of the room! The AC was unbearable and therefor we turned it off to sleep. The refrigerator was SO NOISY! again we turned it off to sleep. The room was physically vibrating the whole time, I suspect from the AC units from all the other rooms. Even using very good earplugs the vibrations emanating through the walls and floors would wake me and I'm not a light sleeper. I did ask for a room switch but the hotel was full and they couldn't accommodate this request. For this reason alone I would choose a different hotel for my next visit to San Diego.

Passable

Very good

Liked: The park across the street with free equipment to check out at the front desk was an unexpected perk! The location right on the bay was beautiful. The rooms were spacious!
Disliked: The fridge was dented, the bathroom lighting was a bit like a strobe light whenever it first came on. One bathroom had an uneven tub with standing water in the lower part.

Exceptional

Good

Liked: I LIKED THE POOL AREA AND THE BBQ. And my kids loved the cookies at the reception.The basket ball pitch across was also interesting.
Disliked: The rooms are so old, The double beds tiny.And our door was always stuck when you completely closed it, We had to fight hard to open it. Also there was an awful smell I think coming from the carpets every time you entered the room.The whole building needs a serious upgrade.

Very good

Liked: Great location near the marina and little Italy. Lovely pool area and gym. Had a free room upgrade which was a nice touch. Really good breakfast with lots of options!
Disliked: Room was a little dated although not a big issue. One of the showers was a little dirty but otherwise everything else clean.

Comfortable stay!
