Rooms were small but very clean! Host/Hostess were so hospitable and polite. Customer service was amazing! They decorated the room for us for my anniversary! We did have a balcony room and city view. So just a tip, if your’re looking to get some rest, don’t book it. It’s pretty loud on the weekends through the entire night because the room is directly above all the action. But overall, very nice experience! I’m prime location. I will definitely stay there again!

Good location in San Diego, walking distance to the bay, so many bars and restaurants around. Clean and modern. Recommend. Dont get valet parking, you will find parking garage close by for $15 per night or if you can get your car by 8am you can park free on the meter around (10p-8am)

Never again!! The AC Hotel by Marriott is an older structure with modern décor. Our room was uncomfortably small. No closet, just a metal bar about 2.5 feet wide to hang clothes. Using the ironing board, there was barely room to stand between the desk, ironing board, and bed. No proper bathroom door; just a sliding frosted glass. Thermostat’s display changed when adjusted but heat and A/C didn’t seem to work until the day we left. TV remote and interface was klutzy. At one time, the TV quit. A service guy came, reset things, and suggested, “Don’t hit the main menu button.” Unfortunately, we got food poisoning elsewhere (not at this hotel) -- we could not leave our hotel room for 2 days & nights. I’ll spare the reader graphic descriptions of nasty stuff exiting both ends of a human body, but that’s when we discovered that the bathroom didn’t have a toilet brush or a vent fan! After 2 days, we were dehydrated. I remembered seeing Gatorade for sale at the reception desk. I called and asked if someone could bring us 2 Gatorades, which were literally within arm’s reach of the receptionist. “No, we don’t have room service at this hotel.” I didn’t ask for a cooked meal. I asked if any hotel employee could grab 2 bottles of Gatorade (next to their body) and place them outside our room’s door. “No, sir, we can’t do that.” I went downstairs, grabbed 2 Gatorades, and ignored the entirely hollow “Have a great day!” uttered as I walked away trying not to puke in the front lobby.
