“High cost performance for the price we got by Priceline”

San Diego Marriott Del Mar

4 of 5 stars
San Jose, CA
Jun 22, 2008

I used Priceline hoping to get Marriott near the campus for commencement, but instead, we got this hotel for $120. My BF, who is a frequent traveller, says, "Good deal." Below is what I learned for 8.5 hour stay:

-free Lemonade stand (didn't try, but looked OK) in the lobby
-a coffee maker is provided
-new & clean looking gym with free bottled water; open 24 hr
-nice pool; open till 11ish p.m. (their picture looks bigger than actual)
-nothing complex, but humble, and sophisticated interior
-small, but very comfy bed

I guess our only complaint is the noise of the AC. It was loud to sleep with that on, so we turned it off. I also wonder the reason we got the end room of the floor (the farthest from the elevator) with an ugly view was due to what we paid. My BF said yes, but not much complaint here.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay there, but make sure you get the right price. Oh, did I mention their CA roll for room service is $7.50?

“Lovely Stay at the Del Mar”

San Diego Marriott Del Mar

Jun 20, 2008

We stayed here while visiting with friends and their new baby. It was a surprisingly lovely hotel. We had a nice room, beautiful view, a nice meal in the hotel and room service was great. It was also quiet which is nice because there were families with kids. We had very easy access to the highways and downtown San Diego. Great weekend getaway spot -- they have a lovely pool and outdoor firepits!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — clean, quiet, cool looking
    • Disliked — it is between highways, but it's still quiet.

“Underwhelmed”

San Diego Marriott Del Mar

Jun 19, 2008

We stayed at this Marriott from June 14th-16th. The room was small and was nothing special considering the price. The only benefit was that the location was good since we had plans to visit the Del Mar Fair on Sunday. We booked in advance on the Marriott website with a promotional offer and the bill was incorrect at check-out. It was fixed, but it was still an inconvenience. The next time I visit San Diego I will be staying at another property.

“Loved the Bedding!”

San Diego Marriott Del Mar

Apr 16, 2008

Why do we stay at a hotel... mostly to sleep. I have to say, this was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on. It rates right up there with Westin's Heavenly bed.

Room was nice and clean. Furnishings looked almost brand new. Front desk staff was pleasant and friendly. Everyone was professional but not snobby.

One of the better hotels in greater San Diego.

“Not worth the money”

San Diego Marriott Del Mar

3 of 5 stars
Gig Harbor, Washington
Apr 12, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I recently stayed for just one night at this property with my three small boys. We were spending a week in Carlsbad in a condo but we couldn't check into our condo until the next night, so we spent one night here before moving on. I got a little turned around on the way there and called for directions. The girl who answered the phone at their front desk was RUDE and unhelpful. I was fortunate to also have the same girl check us in... again, rude and looked at my offspring like they were contagious. I did let them totally raid her candy jar after that. I was shocked at what they charge for parking ($16 & $22 for valet), I've stayed in nice resorts and I felt that they were trying to be a four star hotel but missed the mark, however they were charging four star prices. The pool area was nice and truly the highlight of the stay. The valet gave us great directions to the town center for dinner which was great as well. We ordered room service in the morning and the food was sub par but the service was great. I wouldn't reccomend this hotel if you are traveling with your kids. The hotel is in a weird place, somewhat industrial. There are way too many great places around to waste your time or money on this Marriott in Del Mar.
