Beach Hotels in San Diego

Positive: The hotel looks really good and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. It's in a nice and safe neighborhood with many good restaurants within walking distance. For morning coffee, there's also a great spot called Pappalecco, highly recommended. Negative: The duvet had bloodstains and wasn't covered with a duvet cover. I don't understand why this wasn't done! Very unhygienic and unpleasant. But all in all, it was a fine hotel and we would love to come back again.

The room was quite spacious, though a bit dim, and the facilities and decor felt somewhat dated. That said, this is often the case for most hotels in the US at this price point. Despite these points, it was overall clean and presentable. The hotel seemed quite busy, and the breakfast selection was a bit limited and didn't really cater well to Chinese palates. The location, however, is a major plus; it's a short walk to the mall, and very convenient for dining out or ordering takeout.

Stayed with my mom, and the room was great with a lovely ambiance. The only issue was the communication between the front desk and security; my passport was left at the front desk, and security had it, but the front desk didn't seem to know.

This is my second time staying here. I booked a regular room last time, but this time I booked a house next to the bay. It is really great, with pleasant scenery. I took my children to feed the seagulls as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning. The service staff in the entire park are very friendly and will chat with you with a smile. There are five swimming pools in the park. We went to the largest one. The children swam while the adults sat next to them to bask in the sun and order food. It was very comfortable. I will bring an electric scooter next time. It must be fun to visit the park! If there are any shortcomings, the facilities are relatively old and the air conditioner is very noisy. There is nothing else.

The hotel is located on a peninsula, with the bay front and back, and the scenery is beautiful. It is a few kilometers away from downtown, so it is convenient to drive to shopping and eating. There is a parking lot downstairs for 30 knives a day. The front desk service attitude is very good, and the check-in is very fast. The room facilities are a bit old, and there is a small balcony with a sea view. The bathroom is generally clean, but a cockroach was found in the bathroom.

Great views and comfort, but watch out for extra charges! I recently stayed at the San Diego Marriott Marquis and Marina. While the hotel itself is very nice, I encountered an issue that significantly impacted my experience. Despite having booked and fully prepaid my stay through Trip.com, the hotel attempted to charge me an additional $45 per day plus tax for the so-called ”Destination Fee” at check-in. After contacting the hotel, they refunded the fee after multiple letters and two weeks. This seems to reflect a policy of charging the Destination Fee by default, regardless of whether it has already been prepaid through third-party booking platforms. I worry that many guests either don't notice the charge or aren't aware that it may already be included in their booking. That being said, breakfast at the hotel was delicious and the facilities are generally high-quality. If the billing issue hadn't occurred, my stay would have been much more enjoyable. Overall, it's a lovely hotel in a great location—but guests should carefully check their bill and be prepared to follow up if something doesn't add up!

The location is good, close to the beach. The hotel itself is similar to a domestic express hotel. The hardware is average, and the air conditioner and exhaust fan are very loud. Parking is relatively convenient, but you have to pay $21 per night. Another weird thing is that the car cannot go directly from the lobby to the guest room inside the hotel. You need to park in the lobby after checking in and then drive to the main road to the guest room parking space. The overall cost performance is not high. The breakfast is good.

A typical motel, traditional American breakfast, free parking! $ 50 deposit, cash is recommended, credit card refund has not been received for half a month! It's very close to Ocean Park, just 15 minutes by car to the aircraft carrier! There is a 711 supermarket across the road. It takes about 15-20 minutes to drive to the Chinese supermarket! Room was clean and overall good

I had a very frustrating experience at this hotel. They charge a $500 deposit, which, combined with my total bill of $1,000, exceeded my credit card limit of $1,300. As a result, I could only pay for 4 out of the 7 nights, totaling $790. My friend had to cover the remaining 3 nights, but his card was charged $1,600! The hotel’s receipt logic is very confusing; it’s unclear how much was charged to each card and what those amounts correspond to. After checking out on October 18, I was told my payment would be refunded, but as of today, November 2, I still haven’t received any notification regarding the refund. This has been an extremely disappointing and stressful experience. If you’re not concerned about high deposits and the potential for delays in refunds, you might feel comfortable staying here. Otherwise, I would recommend looking for a different hotel.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱. I stayed there for 2 weeks, working from home during the day, going out at night. Pros: - excellent value for the comfort and amenities at under $65/night - great desk & comfortable chair for laptop work - nice modern Philips large-screen TV you can connect to via HDMI - the Internet was ok (~10Mbps) but disconnected daily (reconnecting the WiFi restored it) - pretty quiet considering the proximity to the freeway: just white noise, haven't heard any revving or sirens - walls don't provide much sound insulation but I've heard only ONE neighbor conversation during my 2-week stay. It did help that I chose a room on the top floor, and next to the janitorial room (#522) - the wall-mounted A/C was surprisingly quiet, and heating worked fast - ventilation was okay if you keep the window open about 1ft - only saw 3 flying insects, and a crawling one in the shower - clean room, only found a few hair strands in the shower - mini-fridge was quiet and held a week's worth of food - great use of space: 4 large drawers, rack with clothes hangers, space for suitcases to be out of the way, 2 mirrors - the staff was very kind of provide a microwave, can opener, paper plates - pool was clean - two hot tubs were great, and MUCH cleaner than my friend's who stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott next door - coin-operated laundry on site ($2.50 + $2.50 W/D, $1.50 laundry soap) - nice landscaping and you could smell eucalyptus trees Neutral: - the pool/hot tub area closed at 10pm - there's nothing to do in the walkable area (just other hotels), but North Park is only a $10 Uber ride away, and the Fashion Mall is right across the freeway - construction in front of the lobby should be finished by the end of 2025 Cons: - gym was tiny and lacking: only 3 cardio machines (one elliptical that felt awkward) and one cable stations with fixed cable points; no free weights, towels, or watercooler cups
