"Convenient location (10 min walking) to Gaslamp Quarter. Super comfortable stay. The beds in South Tower were lovely. Large fitness center with spacious pools. Not a fan of the daily parking or “benefits” fees, but they were expected. The “city sounds” (sirens, trolley) were on the kind of loud side for us at night but that’s not a comment on the Marriott just an fyi if you have a city view room. Staff were all very courteous and friendly. We would definitely go back. "
