The hotel itself is okay. Nothing special certainly for the rates they charge. Parking is an additional $18 per night, parking spaces are too narrowly striped for an average sized car, and they run out of spaces after 11 pm. Lastly, one of the front desk clerks was incredibly rude. Nobody told us that the hotel only provides housekeeping every other day (not something you’d anticipate for over $200/night). When I went to the front desk to ask for trash pick up and fresh towels, the employee said someone would be up in 5 minutes. An hour later, I stopped by again only for him to tell me that I told him the wrong room number; he even wrote it down. Yes, not only did I forget the room number, but even the floor we were staying on. People like this should not be stationed at the reception desk. There are many better choices in the San Diego area. For a Marriott property, their service on this occasion was embarrassing.

Upon arrival, we were SHOCKED that there was a fee to park our rental car. This fee is $18/DAY that comes out of an additional deposit (after booking and upon arrival) of $200. Disappointed there was no continental breakfast. We needed a walk in shower for a guest limited to a wheelchair and the first room assigned to us did not meet this request. The beds were all TERRIBLE. When I asked the front desk why the mattresses were rock hard, she said it was because there was less support in these rooms since the mattresses needed to be lower for “handicaps”. We left two nights early and stayed elsewhere because of how uncomfortable we were! We were not offered a refund for the last two nights either. My mom, who is wheelchair bound is making a complaint to the ADA regarding her experience as well.

While the hotel is clean and nice, the flush in the toilet had constant issues. I fixed it myself, we spoke to the reception and she offered to change our room or give us complementary breakfast, we opted for the latter but on showing up at the restaurant they did not honor this commitment mentioning no more record of the complementary breakfast being provided. That felt a bit insulting considering we had to deal with all of this.
