Found this one through a coupon book and got a really good rate (Approx. $80 per night). This is a Hotel not a Motel and rooms are internal - opening onto to internal corridors. The Hotel is either very new or has been given a recent makeover. The whole hotel was in a great state of repair. Rooms were very... More

Loved our stay at this hotel. It's new, it's modern and it's clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Each question and request were met with a smile :) The rooms were big and had all the necessary amenities, including very very comfty beds. Never a problem having good a night sleep. The pool area was a bit small, but... More

Upsides: The hotel was nice, new and clean. All of the furnishings were new, and the entire hotel was clean, neat and had an up to date feel to it. The staff were helpful and accommodating, and the price was very reasonable. Downsides: the bed was not super comfortable. The biggest downside was definitely the location. We booked in to... More

We had a balcony room. It was very clean and modern/ new inside. Location is ok if you have a car as we did. I paid about $40 more for a balcony room assuming from the hotel photos this meant a large balcony however it was a very tiny belcony and I'm sure the room was the same as any... More

I can't add too much to the large number of positive reviews about the Marina Gateway already on here so I won't try. The place was immaculate, comfortable and worthy of the high rating that it possesses. BUT: If you are thinking of using the hotel for a holiday in San Diego, you should be aware that if you don't...

This hotel is fairly new. It is right off the I-5 where it crosses the CA-54, very convenient to get to. We had a room with 2 queen beds on the 3rd floor. We found the room clean and spacious. The staff at the front desk was friendly at check in and check out. Overall a great stay at a... More

I needed a place to stay that was close to a family gathering and decided to check this place out. There was a little confusion and the wrong room was given. When I went to the desk to speak with the attendant (sorry don't remember your name) he immediately apologized and got me the room that I had reserved. There... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days in early Dec 2011 with my husband and 4 year old. We found it to be very clean, modern, quiet and for $99 a night great value. You do need to have a car if you stay here since its location is a fair way from the attractions. It took about 30... More

We booked this hotel mainly because of the price. At that time, we were concerned that it might be a bit far from the center of activities. As it turned out, it was not. If you want a nice, clean, quite hotel away from all the tourists and traffic, and yet very close to to Gaslamp District, zoo, Seaworld, then... More
