Beautiful hotel and a wonderful staff If you’re considering grabbing a bottle of wine from their convince area save yourself the money and go to Ralph’s (walking distance) They didn’t have price tags on their wine, but it was $45 per bottle that I got

The breakfast buffet was delicious I love a good omelet station Plenty to choose from Staff in here was super nice and helpful Outside seating was a little chilly and the put the heaters on for usThe view from the 21st floor is incredible! Pool is heated, but was still too chilly for my little one She was happy to check out the hot tub Love love love the fire pit tables around the pool for the end of the dayFree charging for electric vehicles, but there are only 4 stalls It’s a slow charger so it took about 9+ hours for us to get a full chargeGreat location, plenty of things in walking distance!

I enjoyed my stay at the Marriott Marquis The room was comfortable and clean My view was great

The food at my convention and the breakfast buffet were delicious I was very pleased with the late check out I was granted Lastly, the gentleman at the shoeshine station was very kind and did a nice job on my shoes I highly recommend him

Great location for attending conferences at San Diego Convention Center Convenient to Seaport Village and harbor activities Nice view from room

I recommend rooms that face the harbor as the street side can be noisy if you’re a light sleeper As for service, the staff were very good except for when I asked that the dirty a/c filter be changed in the room on Saturday and had to ask again on Monday when it was finally done

This is my favorite hotel in San Diego 135 years old and original facade, this hotel is charming inside add out Excellent service to boot! The courtyard is beautiful

Call before you book and ask for a balcony room Our room, 226 had a fireplace and balcony over the courtyard as well as a large window on the street side Breakfast and brunch is awesome!! Food is delicious I’m sure dinner is also wonderful Make sure you see all the historical photographs on the wall up the staircase on the west side The bar is so cool with gorgeous hand carved wood and comfortable tables in front of The Palace fireplace A must see in San Diego Ask about the hotel’s history It’s so colorful!

The lobby is spectacular, very beautiful but my room look outdated but in a charming way I booked the junior suite with wet bar It was very spacious

It had a sitting area which included a sofa bed The bed was high which was a plus for me The views was not so great from my room The only thing that was outside my balcony, window was another building Parking was 50 dollars for valet or else you would have to park a couple of blocks away Location was in downtown next to the nightlife and walking distance for food The bar/restaurant located in the hotel was exquisite The food and drinks delicious

Avi Robinson-Mosher

Our first night we were in one of the suites in the back, which was nice but bigger than we needed and a bit dark Alex at the front desk was extremely helpful in getting us into a room that suited us better, checking back in on us and letting us know that one of the courtyard rooms was available the second day We switched to that and it was great – a lovely little balcony on the courtyard, lots of light, a good desk (important, since this was partly a working trip), and nice cozy decor

Thank you again Alex!

Emily Long

I had a lovely 5 day stay here for a conference Very convenient location, close to convention center, gaslamp district and Trolley stops right in frontMy room on the upper floor had incredible views

Bed was super comfortable and the linens and everything felt very clean All the staff I interacted with were super friendly and helpful Great stay and would definitely stay again!

Welt Reisender

The staff were all very nice and attentive We asked the valet for recommendations on the local sights and sounds They were always enthusiastic and we went to a few spots they recommended and they were spot on

Front desk crew were always friendly and we felt like even though it’s a large resort, the staff always made it feel like you were the only person staying there The room was nice and the view was beautiful The hotel has a bridge that connects to Petco Park stadium and it’s located in downtown across from the convention center It’s a nice place to come back to at the end of a long day of sight seeing I’d recommend staying here if you’re from out of townDefinitely will visit again!

Christina Bell

Amazing staff, so friendly, so quick to help, welcoming every time you enter Great poolside drinks and great bar staff It made our stay so comfortable and smooth

Never once did I encounter an attitude when my group had touristy questions They were all just a positive quick to help team so nice So glad we chose the hotel to stay at for my friend’s bachelorette weekend

Zachary Nabors

First off, the price per night is nowhere near the service you can expect The rates are about double the price of a 4 or 5 star hotel in the heart of downtown SDBoth nights my room was so hot that I had to sleep with the windows open which is pretty unacceptable, as the staff, who is nowhere to be found, was well aware the AC was not working before our stay, yet never informed us until we were finally able to find someone to tell them that the room was over 90 degrees the entire stay

Nonetheless, you are better off staying elsewhere like an actual 4 or 5 star hotel for half the rates you they are charging and can expect to receive way better service

Nicole Quirk

We LOVED having our wedding here I spent more hours on the knot than I want to admit looking for a place that was more special than just another hotel or golf course wedding This was a new venue so it was hidden in the results but I’m sooo glad we found it

Ben was super helpful in working with our budget so that we could could have our dream dayNoban cooked “some of the best salmon I have had in my life” as my husband told everyone Our guests all raved about the food- and they had a personal server for us that night so we actually got to eat the food!Aly was beyond organized and on top of everything She took care of everything and did it in such a composed manor that she calmed me of any stress I might haveBernie is the best He took care of us and our overnight guests and always had a smile on his face He was sooo helpful in our set up and preparations the day before and cleaning up the day afterThe venue itself is amazing The details that went into the remodel are really impressive A lot of time and love were put into this house and it shows Having the house all weekend was just the best We had our rehearsal there the day before with a taco stand and got to spend the evening with our close family relaxing and enjoying time together I got to sleep in and roll out of bed and up to the 3rd floor’s secret room behind the bookshelf to get my hair and makeup done I already felt comfortable in the house and it kept my stress level so low It was great that after the wedding we could hang around with our family and not worry about packing up or forgetting things there because we could deal with it all the next dayI cannot begin to express how perfect of a venue this is They take care of you and really allow you to enjoy your day at such a special and unique place

Roy Lancaster

We can’t thank The Britt Scripps Manor in San Diego, CA enough for the most incredible wedding day My wife and I wanted an intimate Victorian themed wedding and a murder mystery rehearsal dinner In 3 months, this team put together our murder mystery rehearsal dinner, 50-person ceremony/reception and executed it flawlessly

We are SO happy with the choice we made hosting our special day there! Our wedding was nothing short of “happily ever after” with the breathtaking backdrop of the tree overlooking the manor All of our family and friends who attended absolutely loved it They raved about the picturesque ceremony site, the glamorous and classy interior, the delicious food, our signature drinks, the friendly service and the overall ambiance Working with both the management and the crew was fine We couldn’t have been more pleased with the incredible service provided by Louisa, the coordinator, Keegan, the property manager, and Jesse, the chef I felt completely at ease with Louisa being in charge of our entire event from start to finish Their whole team put our dream wedding together in 3 months They answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a timely manner I can’t recommend her and the Britt Scripps Manor enough! Thank you for making our special day a memory we will treasure for a lifetime!

Chris Pillsbury

My family and I had a great stay here From the minute we pulled up the valet came out and helped us unload our luggage Check in was easy and we stayed in an absolutely gorgeous suite on the sixth floor

The hotel is in a historic building and it was nice to see the history of the building as you walk around The only thing I did not really like is how they try to rope you into a timeshare presentation Granted if you attended the presentation, which we did, they waived the valet fees and gave you a seven day stay in any of their hotels Aside from that everything was fantastic I would definitely stay here again

Had a great week long stay here recently Great accommodations and standard services ALL staff we encountered were 5 star friendly and helpful and always tried to go above and beyond

Maintenance staff, desk staff, valet All top notch Location is amazing, and so is the rooftop! Parking situation was the only negative but you can’t expect much more in such a great location

My wife & I stayed at the Andaz as part of our honeymoon, and I was blown away with the attention to detail, respect for loyalty, and luxury Hyatt has created hereIt started at check in with a great, responsive front desk & valet team Offered a free alcoholic beverage

Of all the hotels we stayed at during our honeymoon, this was the only one who did something special (and left us an entire bottle of champagne!) The room we stayed in was spacious and on the top floor Rooftop is beautiful and gives great views of the city (great place to get some work done during the day)The two cons people mention is the noise & the parking cost The location is essentially the cause of both of these, so don’t go into it with false expectations You’re staying at one of the most expensive and popular parts of San Diego, right across from many popular bars (check out Coin-Op) Things were loud, particularly on the weekends, but the hotel gives you a white noise machine and ear plugs Bars get quiet around 10-11 on weekdays and 12-1 on weekends, but we’re night owls and weren’t bothered much The hotel is a sexy (shower had a glass viewing wall into the bedroom), modern place to spend a few nights around a popular nightlife district — not a family-centered, quiet part of town

Ashish Lal

We had a great stay at the Andaz All of the staff were really attentive, friendly, and professional The rooftop was a nice place to start or end your day with pretty good drinks (esp for a hotel bar)

The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean They also treat World of Hyatt members well The biggest downside was the noise at night due to the hotel’s location It’s located in Gaslamp and the bars around the hotel blast music very loud

Michael Anders

The good: centrally located, friendly manager to help address issuesThe bad: First room the A/C was broken and the fans sounded like birds chirping, second room was the loudest street noise I’ve ever heard from a hotel room It was on the 5th floor so I can only imagine how loud it would be on the lower floors You know your windows don’t insulate any noise at all when they need to offer ear plugs in every room

And yes, is the part of the city busy and loud? Of course it is But I live in a loud part of San Francisco and my windows actually insulate noise well It is possible to do if you have good windowsThird room I was moved to was a handicapped room That’s fine I guess, I needed a quiet place to stay with a functioning A/C (I know, so much to ask for) But in that room, the shower didn’t have hot water for 15 minutes so they had to repair that tooAll in all, this was far from a luxury hotel experience The manager Emelina was very nice and tried to make the most of these bad circumstances But the hotel is in need of some major upgrades and is far from the Hyatt standard I am used to

Alisha N. Poole

kids loved watching the Navy Carriers and Destroyers float by in the mornings! The room was spacious and clean, with two queen beds and plenty of room for the pack n’ play we brought The beds were comfortable and everyone slept really well With the fan on we had no noise issues; we didn’t turn it off for our whole stay so I can’t say what the noise was like without the background noise of the fan

The patio was wonderful to sit and look out at the bay The kids loved swimming in the pools and walking along the marina behind the hotel The restaurant was pricey but the food was really good, and the staff were so friendly, especially toward the children We already plan to stay here again the next time we visit San Diego!

Around the World

First, we have to say Melton working the front desk is awesome– easily one of the best customer service at a hotel we have ever experienced During our stay, he addressed all our concerns and went above and beyond to provide us with everything we needed Even when there was a line waiting to check-in/out, he was friendly, professional, and purposeful in dealing with everyone

Thank you Melton for taking care of us! Our room was spacious and the complimentary breakfast was really a treat This hotel is located within close walking distance to main attractions, public transportation, restaurants, and groceries stories We would definitely stay here again

Devon Abblitt

This is in a great location, but the parking garage is easily the worst I have ever encountered I saw a couple of people in a mini copper struggling to move around in this thing Other than the parking garage, the hotel itself was nice

The room I had was on a corner, and there was a balcony with a great view of the area It was nice to have the fresh night air blow in for a little while The room was clean and everything was in good working order I slept like a babyWhen I come back again, I’ll bring the smallest rental car I can find

Rochelle Henry

Spent 6 nights at this golf resort It is a great place for a quiet retreat even for non golfers There were a couple of days during our stay when they hosted tournaments and it still remained fairly quiet

The room was very nice and had one of the biggest bathrooms in a hotel The room had a proper desk which helped on the couple of days when I did have to work There was a fridge and coffee maker but no microwave The fitness center was decent There were two pools outside One of them was rarely used There was an on site restaurant which we frequented for breakfast The resort is within a ten minute drive from the casino They offer a shuttle It is about ten minutes minimum to drive into town if you want to check out other places to eat Overall it was a great stay

Michelle Broyhill

Not only can you play golf at one of San Diego’s top rated golf courses you can stay in a fabulous room that has all the comforts of home and then in the evening for a spectacular night you can head over to the Sycuan casino and catch a concert or have an amazing dinner in one of the spectacular restaurants! Or dine in your room! I’m always impressed by the friendly staff and ever accommodating management If you are looking for something to please the whole family and your love of golf in San Diego this is where it’s at

Jennifer Nix

They left our trash in the room for three days Did not replenish cups When asked for room service they just left the towels inside the door

It’s $100 A day deposit, not your entire stay Very poor hospitality There is no parking for guests by the restaurant When we wanted lunch there was a tournament and the manager said go back to your room Take a golf cart We are fully dressed for a wedding rehearsal day Hot day I told him we were at the farthest end on the property The golf worker would have hit our car as we were slowly backing up They drive too fast Don’t want to risk a bad driver!! Very very poor maid service!!!! 2nd worst hotel experience in my life don’t stay there Our neighbors said they had to clean the filters in the room The day we insisted on cleaning our room after 3 days of trash the maid had the tv on and changed our air temp to 60 degrees Room was cold Terrible place It would be better to drive in from somewhere like the Jamul casino The food manager at the restaurant could have done better We had no lunch No food was deliveredBad place Also I think my glasses by the bed went missing I’m not 100 per cent sure but I will report if one of the maids took my prescription glasses for a child In fact I will do more than report that if I return home and they are not there Jennifer

Although nestled in a somewhat questionable downtown area, this property is beyond amazing The front desk staff, even during the busiest of hours, are always friendly and helpful They greeted us with a smile and recognized our rewards membership status

Even though 1 of the 2 rooms were not ready yet, they were still on top of communications, making sure to update us We were in SD celebrating my moms big birthday and they were kind of enough to upgrade her room She was ecstatic, the room was gorgeous and amazing view Everything was clean and comfortable We will definitely stay here again

Maya Jenkins

Nice place to stay downtown The only bad thing, that it was downtown Not too romantic if you’re going for a romantic getaway

But will definitely try their other locations Great hospitality and caring staff! Room was decent but the bed headboard was dirty and stained Wish I would have had a good view, but again it’s downtown And FYI, the price for valet is worth every dime! Being in Customer Service, the entire staff gave 5-Star service!!!

Chris Schweighart

We spent a night here during the holidays and we loved it Very well decorated and festive, yet in a modern and classy way The lobby is spacious with plenty of options for seating, and the elevators right next to the check-in desk

The rooms are updated and cozy, with low beds and comfy sheets Our bathroom was renovated and very nice too I liked having a balcony with a view of the pool and downtown area The desk / office space was nice too although the TV was small considering its distance from the bed The complimentary adult beverages at Happy Hour, and free coffee and tea in the morning, are a nice bonusserved in the swanky bar / restaurant adjacent to the lobby The location in the heart of downtown San Diego is great toovery easy to walk everywhere, but street parking is tough so be prepared to use valet overnight (which is very expensive) Overall, however, this is a high quality hotel with plenty of amenities

Excellent Marriott property and well maintained All staff very friendly and helpful Nice common areas and lots of

places to sit and relax throughout the property Pool was nice with plenty of chairs, towels and was very clean Front desk staff including the manager were extremely accommodating to me and very professional I arrived very early in the morning and didn’t expect to be able to check in, but just asked to be able to check in whenever they had something available They were so accommodating and actually found a room within the hour around 10am Awesome!! Great thing is this Marriott had the Elite lounge open and well stocked drinks and snacks Complementary breakfast daily as well Nice touch was a seltzer bar in the lounge with coffee and tea machine as well Only negative here is the rooms have hardwood floors that are not kept clean Not sure if they don’t have the correct vacuum cleaners or what, but the floors had other people’s hair all over the place It was pretty gross actually and my socks were covered with debris from the floor Walls had blood splattered on themas well Low pile rugs are a better option and easier to vacuum using the upright vacuum they use Anyway, I would still recommend this hotel, but just beware that you must wear slippers or setting on your feet at all times in the room unless you want other people’s hair on your feet!

Mariam Benjamin

We stayed here for the first time last weekend and we were very pleasantly surprised how much we loved it The rooms were clean and great The staff was super friendly! While we ate breakfast there, a couple of the staff members really stood out

We were greeted by Dee and we watched as she chatted and made sure all the guests were happy and enjoying their meals Our server was JC and he was excellent Let’s not forget the front desk either They were all super helpful Especially Anna! We will be coming back very soon!!!

Jay Akhtar

Our stay was good and could have been better for 5 starsHere are few things that can be improved:- no room service done even after requesting a day in advance It was done later after when we came back and had to call front desk multiple times- after room service was done, coffee supplies were not refilled- used glasses were not replaced- trash from the bin was not removed- no chairs in the balcony- lastly not a deal breaker but a hot tub around the pool was missing

One of the staff went as far as to even get me an iced tea when there was none in the area of the hotel I was sitting at Only exception for rating 4 stars on service is that one of the cleaning carts was blocking my exit from the room on the day of check-out (cleaning crew was next door) Also would say that the rooms are very nice, spacious, and well maintained; however my couch had some small stains on them The color almost blended in One of the towels that is used for the floor just outside the shower area also had a stain on it Another reason for the 4 star rating as a 5 star rating hotel would catch these things I would definitely come back to visit for a vacation with my family I trust Marriott hotels and their standards seem to be high and consistent no matter where in the world I have stayed with them

This is solidly a 45/ star hotel The service was excellent all around, from check-in, restaurant, pool bar, valet and concierge

The rooms were clean We stayed in a resort view room, which overlooked the wellness center If I were to return, I’d choose a water/pool view Hotel is great for families The location on the island is the only negative It’s the quieter side with less things to do Overall great hotel and great value

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Coronado Island Marriott We give our highest recommendation to this hotel and venue Every step of the way, the hotel event staff made us feel cared for and valued, and they were very on top of the details of coordinating our event

Our wedding day itself was just magical They made sure that everything was ready for all our vendors We had our wedding in an outdoor tent, which was just beautiful The food was incredible, people keep telling us how delicious our food was The event staff also were so attuned to our needs during the event, even bringing me additional entree after I finished mine (I didn’t know a second one was even an option) There really aren’t enough positive things I can say about the Coronado Island Marriott My wife and I would choose this venue again and again, and we look forward to visiting in the future to re-live our happy memories

My stay at this resort hotel was great the guest and valet are very pleasant they always “welcome you back “ the rooms are clean , has a full kitchen with a fridge and freezer , free Wi-Fi , and it is free to do laundry which is a plus There is a gym with basic equipment, I wish there was better air ventilation, and sanitizing wipes available in the gym to wipe off equipment after use The ceilings are low so don’t try to do tricks with the jump rope

There is also a sauna, and women’s shower in the gym area as well

The hotel itself is LOVELY! Our studio (with 2 kids) was only a little tight but it had everything we needed The space is actually good for 2 adults and 2 under-10s; see the photo for the pull out couch Immaculate cleaning and the mini-kitchen was fantastic

Strong wi-fi I was NOT pleased with the BR set up (Not enough strategically-placed hooks; does Wyndham not take showers??) No W/D in units but excellent basement service was complimentary Not far at all from the train or bus line A PRONTO card makes everything easier! Also, the Circuit app is very, very helpfulHoweverThe location is lovely but economic downturn is reflected on every street We’ve no qualm with this butbe discreet You don’t need to announce your expendable income, which the WRISTBANDS shout out hard Explore MTS etc before your plane lands!We had a room that was co-joined to another There is no bufferthe other family was LOUD, even at 1am There needs to be more insulation to those doors Additionally, the push for the sales presentation was PUSHY We never said nojust let us get in the room to settle the kids and enjoy a bottle of Pinot Nope, nope, the experience was obnoxious

This is by far our best experience At first it was kind of hard to find the lobby and the hotel was more secure than other hotels we’ve stayed in, but there was a purpose to that which you’ll learn about if you do the guided tour at the hotel concierge desk Our room was not that big but the beds are very comfortable

This hotel is very rich in history Highly recommended to experience this history for yourself and your family Even the kids really enjoyed the guided tour, it was very informative Our tour guide knew a lot about this hotel We will definitely come back again in the future

Loved this place Get ready to be treated with excellent service The rooms are well designed

Enjoyed the comfortable bed and the bathroom was very clean There is only valet parking on site It is located within walking distance to many restaurants The food at the restaurant was delicious Bagel in the morning with coffee was a great way to start the day

We stayed here during Comic Con 2022 and had a wonderful time The hotel itself is gorgeous Everyone that we encountered that worked there were so nice and helpful

We had a really great breakfast one morning and enjoyed the lounge in the eveningThe hotel itself was situated close to everything in the Gaslamp and about 15 minute walk to the convention center There were also a few cafes really close for a quick breakfast on our way in the morningThe hotel was so nice to come back to each night It was quiet and the room was so comfortable The bed was amazing and I loved the toiletriesI would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat

This review is of the hotel only This was my second visit to this lovely hotel that is new, luxurious, and offers great service at the front desk the rooms are spacious, clean, and offer large balconies

The restaurant opens a bit late for breakfast at 8am and there’s no coffee in the lobby if you are an early riser The design is stunning, 5 story building and it offers a conference center and some other attractions that i didn’t have time for This place has some affiliations with the church or religious organization, so I’ve heard

Avery A

This place looked pretty new Had a modern vibe when walking into the lobby Nice seating areas, and even one on the second floor overlooking the lobby

There is a restaurant to the right, but it didn’t really look open It was really quiet though, like it needed some light music playing in the backgroundOur room was clean and suited our needs The bathroom counters were spacious, which I loved so I can spread out my things Bed was comfortable enoughSecurity guard was awesome He was friendly and very helpful Great asset to the hotel

Brandi P.E.

Since we were on a tour we didn’t get past the lobby or restaurant but from what we did see the hotel is beautiful Everyone we interacted with was very nice and welcoming as well The lobby is stunning and had plenty of seating

Prices for food and drinks are quite reasonable, especially for a hotel Not sure how rooms are but from what we saw the Legacy was very nice and in a great location as s well

We just spent our honeymoon at this lovely resort From the moment we walked in, we knew we made the right choice! Friendly staff, spacious rooms with private balconies and awesome views! Underground parking was great! Property kept really clean! The Sea Spa offered a couples massage and it was also top notch! The Cays Lounge offered great service (even had Heineken 00) and live music was definitely a plus! We will definitely be back!

Mia Lee

Major props to Alex at the front desk for an amazing welcome and check-in experience He was so helpful and cheery! The room had an amazing view, and we spent a lot of time on the balcony looking at the great sea view The cleaning crew is very wonderful and warm, attentive at their job too

The stay itself exceeded our expectations Also enjoyed interacting with the porters/valets at the main entrance of the hotels, they give good directions! Our only complaint would be the expensive self-parking fee Overall, amazing stay!

Marta Borowska

Gorgeous resort on the water in San Diego Beautiful place to get married The waterfront rooms have lovely views and are very spacious

There is a lovely area called the point near the boats/docks with a nice arch that can be decorated for a wedding There’s nice hangout areas all around the resort Parking is all around the room area, kind of like a ring road There is also underground parking The lobby is vast and pretty Staff are nice

This hotel and property were nice and very warm and inviting feeling We’d stay again All the staff was so friendly and genuine, we loved that! The rooms were clean and our king bed was comfortable!Only cons were there is no breakfast and our floor did reek of weed the first night, which was off-putting as the lobby smelt amazing

It also was a little south of SD We thought it might be a little closer but we aren’t from there so didn’t know Not far at all just not right by it

Eric Yanagihara

Seems newer or remodeled Our double queen room was well cleaned and smelled fresh Plenty of towels

Air conditioning was relatively quiet and cooled our room quickly Be aware that the hotel is pet friendly, so you may hear the occasional bark(ing) No breakfast service, but there is a restaurant next door on the same property (no discount for hotel guests)Conveniently located to the 5 North & South on-ramps Ample parking during our visit in mid JulyBottom line, would definitely stay here again

Stu Turner

Wow! It looks newly renovated, everything is beautiful It’s very large, almost 500 rooms I’m in room 420 with a balcony- it’s a bit of a walk to get to the room but the room is spacious and spotless

I brought my pillows jic but this bed and it’s pillows were perfect so I didn’t need them The air is great, you can either set the thermostat or just turn it on There is a small gym, the pool and spa are open No continental breakfast but there are a ton of restaurants just right around the corner, one even right outside the front door The whole place smells great too This will be my regular hotel from now on
