This is a nice hotel in a very good location. Nice lobby and smooth check-in process.
The gorgeous pool area was the highlight of the property. Beautiful plants, very nice furniture including shaded hammocks. Also had a hot tub which I did not use.
The concierge lounge was disappointingly small. No in-room safes either. It was a pain-in-the-neck that the only TV channel guide was accessed through the TV menu option. (Do they change the channels so often that they can't print a one page sheet for each room?)
The bed left a lot to be desired. While the bed linens seemed to the latest from Marriott, the mattress was definitely not upgraded yet.
On the plus side, the location was excellent...between Route 163 and US 805, just north of US 8. The property was only 200 yards from the Rio Vista light rail station on the Green Line. It was close to Chargers' stadium, and the Mission Valley and Fashion Valley malls. Great access to downtown, Balboa Park, Seaworld, as well as the attractions north of the city.
Just $12 super shuttle one-way from the airport which is six miles away.
I received a package during my stay and a $5 service UPS charge was surprisingly added to my bill. I thought this was very odd considering the package was delivered by UPS to the hotel shipping/receiving department. When I inquired about it with the front desk, I was told it would be removed. At checkout, it was still there but I did not have time to press the issue.
