    Location on marina was excellent- parking for $25 a day was a bit steep considering room price. Our room was perfect- except the bathroom needed maintenance. The toilet was extremely low to the ground which made it inconvenient. Staff was amazing.

    I booked this property through Expedia based on the good reviews. However, the room I was in was definitely not as excepted. It was in the oldest, low rise wing of the building, while the reviews may have been from a newer section. Our room was old and tired and the air conditioning would not keep the temperature below 74 degrees and there were several flying bugs in the room. As well, when we arrived we discovered that the restaurant was closed for renovations. As I was only there for a short overnight before a morning flight and I didn’t realize the air issue prior to getting in bed, I was unable to request a room change. Overall, a very disappointing experience and I would not stay there in the future. Of course because I booked through Expedia they would not offer any compensation.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was convenient, with several restaurants nearby and a grocery store just a short distance away. This was our first time staying in this part of San Diego, and it may become a regular stop in our hotel rotation. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. One of our favorite features was the balcony overlooking the pool—it made the transition back home after our Hawaii vacation a little less sad. Overall, a great stay, and we would definitely consider staying here again.

    We got to the hotel almost 4 hours early and asked if we could have an early check-in — Jay was super helpful and accommodated us within 5 minutes (I know that's not always the case, but he let us know it may not be possible since they were sold out the previous night and was very nice about it). Our entire stay was perfect. The property is very well maintained, the staff was helpful and friendly, and the pool area is really cute with a ton of lounge areas, and we basically had it to ourselves anytime we went out there, which wasn't too often, but it was nice and quiet. We spent our first few nights in San Diego at the Marriott Marquis Marina, which was gorgeous and in a prime location, but honestly I enjoyed our stay here more due to the quiet atmosphere and staff. 10/10 would stay here again and we're already talking about coming back with our kids. Thanks Jay and everyone else that helped us — I'm sorry I didn't catch everyone's name but you were all fantastic and you made our last 3 nights in San Diego wonderful!

    Il y avait une tres mauvaise odeur dans la chambre. Aussi, sur le site internet de l'hôtel, il est inscrit qu'il y a un ascenseur mais on nous a envoyes dans un autre bâtiment qui navait pas d'ascenseur. Pas évident de monter les valises dans un escalier étroit. Je ne recommanderais pas. Le shuttle commence seulement à 4h45 le matin. On a failli manquer notre vol

    Worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Our toddler twins feet were black after being in the hotel room for less than an hour. We found a 1-inch screw on the floor that they could have put in their mouth. It had fallen off the curtains (we think). In the suite, when you open the bedroom door it hits the wall and locks so our toddler ended up locking himself in that room. I called the front desk in a panic who brought a hotel key card to enter the suite rather than something for the locked door. Thankfully we got it open ourselves by using a random card but if we hadn’t we would have had to call the fire department. The staff was extremely clueless on the door situation. They said there is NO KEY TO OPEN IT! How many more toddlers could get locked in there? This hotel is a huge liability. They need to get it together. Very disappointed.

Mix of different buildings- an odd layout for a hotel. Some Elevators in building 4 were broken which was inconvenient. Carpets in elevators were dirty and clearly not vacuumed over the course of the stay. Food dishes left in the hallways.

    Aside from the strong and (to me) off-putting aroma in the lobby, which was perhaps a combination of pumped-in fragrance and baked cookies, we enjoyed our brief stay. Our room was clean and quiet with a great view of the marina on the third floor of the main building. The HVAC system was the quietest I've ever experienced in a hotel!

    Here is a honest review nobody asked for. For $214 a night on a Sunday I was expecting the room and building to be renovated and pleasant like the pictures implied. I stayed in building 5 in which I had to drive to a specific parking lot to be next to that building that seemed like it was once an office building that got converted into a hotel. You can tell the building has been there for years but it was modernly decorated and had a very pleasant clean smell. I stayed on the top floor and had a balcony the size of 1 chair super tiny. Great view of the bayside houses no ocean view(like it showed in the picture). You can hear everything going on in the hall way and random noises from the pipes of the building. Room was very clean and perfect space for max 2 people. Water pressure for the shower was very weak but the complimentary soaps smelled really good. Layout of the room seemed odd but it was fine for only staying. 1 night. I would have to say the best thing about this hotel is the chocolate chip cookie they give you at check in best cookie I ever had in my like. Also staff was very nice.

    The main lobby and possibly the rooms in the main building were sooo much nicer and up to date design. Also there was a huge gap at the bottom of the door OR the sealing was ripped off and never replaced so you heard EVERYTHING outside and the amount of light it let it made it so the room was never fully dark. So if you’re a sensitive sleeper this is not a place you will be happy with.

Walked down to 1st floor and drove around to front. Had to walk down the 1st floor hallway to another stairwell to go upstairs to get to room. Once inside the room qas nice. Had to go find my car outside and move it to other side of building. There were no lights in the parking lot areas. Would not have stayed here if pulled up and was booking at the front desk, would have kept drivng.

We upgraded to the balcony /view room. But I wouldn't suggest that. You cant see the ocean. It was misleading. It was a view of their grass. And the balcony doesn't feel private at all. But the room was comfortable and clean!

    Just wrapped up a 3 day/2 night stay. Can’t say enough good things about our experience. Stayed here a few years ago and pretty sure it was a Holiday Inn. It’s now the Doubletree, which was great because we are Hilton honors members. We called the hotel the morning of check-in to see if we could get an early check-in. Not only did they accommodate us, but they gave us a room upgrade as well. We stayed in the main building on the third floor. Fantastic room and the location of the hotel is awesome. Everybody that we interacted with was super nice. This will definitely become our go to spot when coming in to San Diego.

    We were here for a family funeral. We had to wait for 1 1/2 hrs to get checked in which made us an hour late to our first family gathering. True, in all fairness our "official" check-in time was 4:00, but we have never had an issue checking in an hour early anywhere else on a non-holiday weekend. On top of that, they at first tried to check us into a lower-grade room, instead of the room we had reserved with a balcony. We also thought we were getting a room in the tall tower. Instead, we were booked into the two-story much older building that did not have an elevator. So just verify that if that is an issue for you. The cafe was under renovation and not open for breakfast. The only other option being a $25pp buffet - another inconvenience. On top of that, there was repaving going on of every major road leading to the hotel which created a huge backup and made travelling to and from the hotel a nightmare. Not the hotel's fault, just be forewarned until that work is completed. Outside of that, the room, bed and balcony were comfortable and clean. The hotel staff were courteous and responsive. Probably won't stay here again though in the future.

    Location was good. Pool was very nice however 3 out of 3 days there were no towels. Beds very uncomfortable. Also if you’re not in the first building with the lobby then you have to walk up for any deliveries and it’s not an easy walk you need key cards or you’re walking on the street. Elevators also broke and for some reason when you pay it comes up as holiday inn. Location was convenient for what we wanted to do. Pool was huge for us! Plus the option for larger rooms!

    Definitely not what was pictured. The hotel isn't one building but instead is made up of separate buildings. It was confusing figuring out which building I was in and where the parking entrance was. The room was nice however it wasn't fully stocked. I was missing a wash cloth, the shower gel was empty, and my coffee creamers were not refilled. Not a horrible experience but it could have definitely been better. I was also bummed to see that one of the on site restaurants was closed. It had no mention of that on their website.

Right across the marina is a plus! There's plenty of restaurants nearby, most open till midnight. Location is close by old town and downtown san Diego. I will stay here again!

    Finally did check in, the room had workers in it fixing a light. I paid extra for a room with a view, I got a 1st floor room that faced a wall. My keys didn’t work. Had to go to the front office 3 times before we unpacked the car. Room was pretty gross. I paid for a room with a balcony but since I was on the first floor it was a porch, connected to another room’s porch. I will not be staying there again.
