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.

Very good

Liked: Loved the location, theme was amazing and the room was comfortable.
Disliked: Jimmy buffet hotel and they never played his music. I expected to hear a ton in the lobby and pool but I heard like two songs. As a kid who was raised on it I was bummed. Also can’t get over how expensive parking is in that area $65 a night with no self park option is gross.

Solid 4-star hotel in prime...

Liked: Location was perfect and the room was a good size. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean
Disliked: The bathroom was very dated with no walk in shower and the bath felt grubby. There were hairs in it from the previous guest. There was not a lot of natural light in the room I had. There was no minibar. The pool was very small.
