“Won't Stay Again”

San Diego Marriott Del Mar

2 of 5 stars
San Bernardino, CA
Jul 11, 2008

Our team booked a block of rooms together on the same floor for a soccer tournament, six weeks in advance. At arrival, many were told that since the hotel overbooked for the weekend, there were no rooms with double beds left and our option was a room with a king and a rollaway. This was unacceptable, as we all had multiple children staying with us. After over an hour of "discussion" with supervisors, most were placed in rooms, but all on different floors. Forgivable.

Maid service was below average. Received clean towels and beds were made (after 4pm) but trash was not emptied. Also forgivable.

On checkout day, no statement was under my door and when I called, was told that there was "confusion". Went to front desk to see bill, which was calculated incorrectly. Waited while they fixed it. Again, forgivable.

Just checked my credit card statement and was charged twice for different amounts. I called and was told there was a charge for the two nights we stayed under my husband's name and a charge for both nights under my name dated checkout day. That was the last straw that prompted me to write this review.

While the hotel was nice, the service was not. I will stay at Marriott again, but definitely not this one.

“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.
