Marriott San Diego Hotel & Marina

Well before the San Diego Convention Center was even a blueprint, the Marriott's stylish, mirrored towers, with their banquet rooms and ballrooms, were a convention center. Today they merely stand next door, garnering a large share of convention attendees who are drawn to the scenic 446-slip marina, lush grounds, waterfall pool, and breathtaking views. This nonsmoking property competes with the newer Grand Hyatt next door, so guests benefit from constantly improved facilities. Leisure travelers can also take advantage of greatly reduced weekend rates and enjoy a free-form tropical pool area. Note that all rooms in the north tower have a small balcony, but only the suites in the south tower do. Because the Marriott tends to focus on public features and business services, guest quarters are well maintained but plain, and standard rooms are on the small side. Roy's Hawaiian Fusion restaurant operates on-site, perched alongside the marina.
