Loved walking to Old Town. The property is beautiful. We didn't like the way the rooms smelled but found everything else great. Upkeep is a little sloppy, I recognize it's an older hotel.

Picked the hotel for amenities (pool and hot tub). Unfortunately, the first night we could not access the hot tub, due to it being dominated by a group of people who chose to hang out there for hours. Second night and subsequent morning the hot tub was marked as out of service, and staff could not say when the hot tub would be functional again. Breakfast was a crowded affair, but adequate choices. Had a parked car for one night only, however charged for two nights, even though reception said we would not be! Requested a later checkout time (1pm instead of 12pm) but this refused as not Marriott members. I think we would generally consider staying somewhere else in San Diego old town in future, that may be a bit more accommodating to visitors from the UK.

Suite was advertised as sleeps 4 but it only had a king bed and a twin hide-a-bed sofa. We had to request a rollaway bed. Our room was next to an entry door to a building of room so the door was slamming all day and night which means no sleep. The breakfast and gym were great.
