### Marriott Vacation Club®, San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient in downtown, just above the San Diego Symphony; modern pleasing decor, suites have plenty of room, they don’t skimp on coffee or creamer in the room. No room service. Not too pushy on selling memberships and they will take no for an answer. Lobby is on 12th Floor! I’ll be back. Go to San Diego for business often and this is one block from my office.
