"Close to downtown and affordable"

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled with my husband and young son (8 y/o). We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was clean and organized, and we enjoyed the fitness center and pool. The location is convenient with a lot of restaurants to choose from and a park to play in nearby. There's a Ralph's nearby for snacks and groceries, which we took advantage of considering we had a full kitchen and are always munchy. Great stay, will definitely stay there again!"
