What guests think

At San Diego Marriott La Jolla, travelers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and the convenient setting near UCSD, Westfield UTC, restaurants, the trolley, and freeways, while noting tradeoffs like dated rooms and extra charges for parking and Wi‑Fi.

Many find beds comfortable and the gym notably large, but hallway and elevator noise and small balconies are mentioned. Cleanliness ranges from very clean spaces to occasional issues like odors, stained linens, or dust, and the pool is considered small. Expect a convenient base with kind service and solid basics, but budget for add‑on fees.

Very disappointing. Old building. Room felt claustrophobic. Bathroom needed a remodel. Parking was an extra $39 per day. Parking garage and elevator was dirty. Pool was small. Pool had five speakers but only one worked. No breakfast included. Yet they charge market rates. We will not stay here again.

It was a short trip from L.A to San Diego. We had a graduation ceremony at 9:30a the next morning. The valet was great service, check-in was quick and easy. We made it in time for dinner and drinks at the restaurant in the hotel. Food and drinks were good. Starbucks in the morning was a lifesaver. I asked for a late check out with no problem. Which made my day. We will come back.

There is a Starbucks inside the hotel, and a large mall nearby, which makes it very convenient. The breakfast was delicious.

The lobby of the Marriott La Jolla is very modern and beautiful. However, the WOW factor stops there. Upon entering our guest room, we were greeted with the stench of mold and dated furniture. The room itself seemed quite old and had a lot of dust that had long settled on objects like the headboards, lamps, and even the walls. (Note the photo included.) The bathroom was somewhat clean, despite the amount of dust and dirt that sat on the vanity countertop.There was even the remains of toothpaste near the faucet where someone had previously brushed their teeth. The morning after check in, I called the front desk to request 2 laundry bags and a box of tissue. The person who answered was quite friendly and accommodating. I was impressed with how quickly the laundry bags were brought to my room. Yet, when I inquired about the box of tissue that I had also requested, the attendant immediately reprimanded me by not including that in my ask over the phone. I told the staff member that I did indeed request 2 laundry bags and a box of tissue over the phone. Yet, the staff member looked at his mobile device, and again, stated that I had not requested the tissue and told me he would return with the item. Perhaps the box of tissue was not communicated by the front desk staff. I do not know. But, I do not feel that deserved a reprimand from the attendant either way. There was very little issue with settling my account upon check out. But, my family and I will not be returning.

Honestly, this is the first time I've seen this situation in the hotel where I stayed. The blanket was stained with blood, and it had a bad smell as if they didn't wash the pillows. The smell stinks of blood when you use it to brush your teeth. This was a very bad experience. I can't recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel is in a great location, the staff were friendly and helpful. I lowered the rating because I was placed in a room directly behind the elevators and we could hear the cables pulling up and down all night. Saturday night was worse than Friday night. Otherwise the room was very nice. I didn’t sleep at all due to the elevator noise. Luckily my daughters a heavy sleeper and it didn’t affect her. We were there for a 3 day soccer tournament. Marriott should refrain from placing people in the rooms directly behind the elevators

The location was great. The staff was friendly. The reason I rate it 3 stars was because the mattress was very uncomfortable. My partner and I woke up with a backache. The mattress made a loud squicky noise every time we repositioned in bed. The shower curtain was dirty with makeup. The noise level was terrible. Thin walls. You can hear the water running from the room next door. You can also hear the doors slamming from other guests. Overall, not my best stay.

My room was clean but felt a little outdated. It was comfortable however. What stood out to me most was the staff members I dealt with. Without exception, everyone was very friendly, professional, and helpful. I did not get any names but I’ll describe the circumstances in the hopes they can be identified and complimented. I was checking in with my husband who had just had eye surgery. I stopped at the hotel around 1:00 p.m. while he was still at the hospital to see if I could get an early check in. I described the situation to the woman at the desk saying it would be best to go straight to the room. She was extremely friendly and helpful and did what she could to get me checked into a room early, which she did. I feel she went above and beyond. On our floor, 11, as we were making our way slowly to the room, we encountered two people cleaning rooms. They saw my husband's bandage and us moving slowly and one of them asked for my room key and went to our room to have the door open when we got there. It’s a small thing but it meant a lot and showed true care for us as guests. They were cleaning rooms on the 11th floor around room 1111 at about 2:30 or so on Saturday the 29th if you’re able to identify them. Finally, I asked for more pillows and a blanket so my husband could sleep in a position recommended by the hospital. The person who delivered them to our door was friendly and pleasant. Overall, I was very impressed with the staff.

Too many charges, nickel and dimed to my bill. $39 to self park my car, after I paid $200 for the room. $21 per day for to connect ONE phone to WiFi. Additional charges if you want breakfast. The single employee struggled in the Starbucks to keep up with the customers, while the espresso machine was not working. I asked for a hot chocolate. “That machine is broke too.” I know it is not the Best Western, but they can do better, if they want to see me again.

Dear Marriott Management, I wanted to share feedback about our recent experience at your property. While the hotel itself was good and we liked the place and cleaning staff was extremely good (Danielle), our breakfast experience on both Friday and today (Monday) was unfortunately disappointing. One of the servers, Nelli, was not at all hospitable. Maybe she was busy but she set the really negative tone to our both days.Her service was very unwelcoming, and lacked the warmth or professionalism we expect at Marriott. We felt uncomfortable, and rather than starting the day on a peaceful note, we were left not feeling great. In contrast, Natalie (who served us over the weekend) was absolutely lovely — attentive, polite, and exactly what one expects from Marriott hospitality. The difference between the two was stark. She knew our order and knew how we wanted as she understood and didn’t say its not there without seeing, that we already had that order. Additionally, we were disappointed that room service was not available during our stay, which made things less convenient, especially while traveling with family. I should have checked for my parents. We chose Marriott expecting a standard of service that unfortunately wasn’t upheld consistently during our stay. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously, as guest experience is defined not just by the property, but also by the attitude and efficiency of the staff. Thank you.
