We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and rooms were nice and modern. The only thing is the A/C in the rooms is very loud as it is not central A/C. Other than that the property is well kept. Location is convenient as it is only 10-15min drive away from main San Diego attractions. The hotel is 2min away from enter/exit a main express way (CA-5). Parking is free, they also have free coffee & tea, a mini golf area if you want to hit some balls and bring your reusable water bottle ( they have water fountains by the gym where you can refill your bottle). I booked my stay through Expedia and I didn’t get any surprise resort fees or taxes. Expedia included taxes in total price.

I highly recommend your stay at Best Western Gateway Marina. The staff are courteous, the location is accessible, very clean and appealing exterior. The rooms are fancy but need up to date technology. Other than that it’s a must stay 5 star hotel. The restaurant right across it, Kimball is close conveniently located and serves great food. I loved their chilaquiles verdes!
