Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location—you're just a 4-minute walk to Petco Park and steps from the Gaslamp Quarter’s nightlife. The hotel’s central position means you can walk to most shows, saving on rideshares and parking stress. After the encore, come back to a quiet suite thanks to solid soundproofing.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day post-show with a free full American breakfast every morning—perfect after a late night. Bar Vie, the hotel’s relaxed on-site spot, offers indoor/outdoor seating and a lite menu ideal for a casual bite before or after the show. A 24-hour market provides snacks and drinks anytime, and the in-room kitchenettes are great for midnight munchies or pre-concert bites.

Nightlife Options

You're in the Gaslamp Quarter, so nightlife is quite literally all around you. Walk to lively bars, clubs, and lounges within minutes. Bar Vie offers a more laid-back vibe with drinks and a patio scene, while nearby hangouts offer everything from craft cocktails to local beers and live DJs.

What People Say

Guests love the large, clean suites, the convenience of kitchenettes, and the friendly, helpful staff. Reviewers frequently praise the prime location near top venues and the Gaslamp Quarter’s dining and nightlife. The rooftop pool is a favorite for relaxing pre- or post-concert.

Areas for Improvement

The rooftop pool is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit crowded during peak times. Parking is available but comes at a premium—consider skipping the car if you’re mostly walking to shows.

The Bottom Line

If you want spacious suites, walkable nightlife, and easy access to San Diego’s top music venues, the Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter hits all the right notes.
