Well appointed accommodations, friendly staff, excellent service. The room had a balcony with a lovely view. The feel was cozy yet roomy and nicely soundproofed. The nice sized flat-screen TV was appreciated.

Negatives: $20.00 for parking.

Clean, modern business and family friendly hotel.

Positives: Our room's bed, temperature and furnishings were very comfortable. I especially appreciated the sliding balcony door letting fresh air into the room.

Negatives: I wish it would be possible, once you purchase internet for the room for all parties in the room to be able to use the internet at the same time.

If you want a romantic weekend in La Jolla, this is not the place. Instead, for the business traveler or for a soccer tournament weekend, this is very good. The hotel is quite modern and the rooms are spacious and well equipped. Fitness room is in the same room as the indoor swimming pool on the second floor, which is strange. But there is also an outdoor swimming pool with lounge chairs. It is definitely a 3.5 star hotel, perhaps even better. The restaurant in the hotel was closed, but you could have a good selection of breakfast in the breakfast shop. Not a sit down breakfast, though.

Positives: There are a bunch of cheap restaurants within walking distance to the hotel.

Negatives: There are only 3 elevators and it is quite a waiting time.

The hotel staff were very delightful and extremely courteous. Upon arriving they were very attentive to our needs and even had free small toys to give to kids. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful inside and the rooms are very nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Positives: Great staff, beautiful environment and nice rooms.

Negatives: Locations is farther from beaches.

I would not have stayed here had I know you had to pay to watch regular TV and that there was no mini-fridge to put our drinks in. Also, there was a $20.00 per day charge for parking. When I selected coastal hotel I thought it would be closer to the beach.

Positives: Very clean.

Negatives: No mini-fridge & had to pay to watch any regular TV.

Overall the hotel was very nice and provided excellent customer services.

Positives: The staff was excellent. The hotel was nice.

Negatives: The food and service was awful.

The hotel appeared very clean with lots of friendly staff. Valet service was quick and no surprise dings, etc. on the car. The cost to park was $20.00 per night, but to valet only added $5.00 so was a no brainier. On the last night my wife and I got bit up by something in the bed bugs or fleas, I don't know. Other than the bugs, I enjoyed the stay.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Parking costs are outrageous. $25.00 per night.

The hotel was comfortable, and well maintained, but it is unfortunate that they are so used to nickel and dimeing business customers, that it is expensive for leisure customers to enjoy additional amenities. (wireless internet - $10, gym, bottled water- $4. etc.)

Positives: The room was very nice, comfortable, and had a wide screen TV.

Negatives: There was no wireless available in room, and a 10 charge for wired internet access.

Over the years of traveling we have come to favor the Marriott Chain of Hotels. They always meet and exceed our expectations. The rooms are always top notch, and the beds and pillows are to die for. So comfortable! The staff is very professional and polite. We would definitely stay here again.

Positives: This hotel is exactly what you would expect from Marriott. Excellent!

Negatives: We were surprised by the $20.00 per day parking charge that was not even valet. Where else are you going to park though?

I enjoyed my stay. I enjoyed the TGIFs, the movies, despite the rainy weather.

Positives: The views were splendid.

Negatives: The parking was tedious.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 18 Feb 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Very nice, but had an unexpected fee on my bank statement of $50 which overdrew my account. Marriott charged me $50 to cover expenses incurred during the stay which they didn't inform me of at check in.

Positives: Nice upscale rooms/facilities.

Negatives: The unexpected $40 parking fee.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 14 Jan 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel was in a great location right off the freeway. The room was very nice and livable for the time we were there. It had a great view and was in a very nice city. I did not like the fact that we had to pay $25.00/day additional for parking as there was nowhere to park for free.

Positives: Very clean.

Negatives: Parking.

Overall our experience was awesome at this hotel and for the price we paid at Priceline, unbelievable.

Positives: We loved the view.

Negatives: The bathroom tube/shower was a little dated.

Liked the location, the Quality overall was great. Did not like the smaller room and did not like the huge bar in the lobby with a lot of businessmen drinking....Did not feel like a family atmosphere at all and made my wife and me feel uncomfortable. Staff was excellent and super nice and helpful.

Positives: Marriott uses Quality Plumbing Fixtures.

Negatives: Room felt too small for the star rating.

The hotel itself was OK.

Positives: Nice location.

Negatives: The room was very close to elevator and thus was very noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 18 Oct 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

If you don't mind paying a ton of fees, it's OK.

Positives: The lobby was nice.

Negatives: The security deposit was outrageous, so was parking fees, and none of this was forewarned at purchase time.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 15 Oct 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

We loved the pool and gym facilities. The location of the hotel was perfect for our trip and the staff did so much for us to make it a great vacation. We would certainly enjoy staying in this hotel again. We loved that there were a lot of families staying at the hotel.

Positives: The staff was fantastic.

Negatives: The room was a bit smaller than what we expected.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 14 Oct 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Nice hotel but not close to the beaches and no easy transportation from this hotel to any of the area hot spots. The room was fine but nothing special. Very comfortable bed. Poolside was OK but not very fancy. An outdoor area with Wi-Fi would be nice so you could work in the great San Diego climate.

Positives: Very nice staff.

Negatives: The price for Internet access in the hotel room seemed awfully high.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 13 Oct 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

The employees were friendly. Very neat and warm. Will definitely stay there again if I'm in the area.

Positives: It was easy to find and check-in was quick.

Negatives: Didn't have rooms available even though I made reservations.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 13 Oct 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Our stay at La Jolla Marriott was very nice. We simply needed an overnight stay, and we arrived at 10:30 PM, so the stay was very short. Even so, the beds were comfortable, the room was exceptionally clean, and the views weren't bad. Overall, I was very happy. I believe that the star level for this hotel was 3.5, but my guess is that would be based on location alone. The hotel itself is a 4 star.

Positives: Clean. Modern. Comfortable.

Negatives: More of a business area. A bit off of the beach.
