The hotel is huge and in a great location for shopping and dining. The staff bend over backwards to make sure you don't get lost in the place. The gym is pretty nice on the cardio side but the weight side is very small and cramped. For a hotel to call itself a spa, this should be corrected. The outdoor... More

This hotel/resort has it all. Great location next to Fashion Island Mall, where there are a number of great places to eat. Here in the hotel the sushi chef is amazing. Stay in the tower if you can, especially if you can get room with a balcony. View is just lovely. From the moment you pull up and are greeted... More

If shopping and dining is on your list of things to do then this is the hotel for you! Directly across the street from the famous Fashion Island you can take a stroll through the fabulous shops and satisfy your palette at one of the many dining options from the Maple Leaf to the Cheesecake Factory and several others along...

I was here for a conference and it is a very nice property. It is at Fashion Island, so there are plenty of shops and restaurants. If you want to get to other amenities, such as the beach and pier, you need a car, but this is Southern California, so that's not unexpected. The hotel service is outstanding; everyone is... More

The room in the was very clean and comfortable. The hotel was busy with a lot of activity on the ground floor. It is a short walk to the mall where there is a nice choice of restaurants. I could hear people in the surrounding rooms which was unexpected. The view of the ocean wasn't exciting as you saw mostly... More

I have stayed at this location many times and I admit to being constantly disappointed. The "ocean view" rooms in the North tower are narrow in their view and you would never know that yo are looking at the ocean because it is so far away. The North tower is a long walk to the lobby. The concierge lounge is... More

Overall we had a nice stay. Excellent service and a decent location. Very convenient to a mall across the street. The room was okay, but clean. The bed wasn't the greatest. My biggest complaint was that we could hear the guests walking above us, and guests walking outside the room in the passageway. Even the fountain was easily heard through... More

The hotel has some good features, like the pool area where there are lots of padded chairs and heaters but, overall, it just seemed a little tired and, although the public areas have been modernized, the bedrooms themselves are uninspiring. Self parking at $21/night seems totally outrageous with valet parking $4 more. Maybe Marriott doesn't need to try so hard... More

After reading some of the previous reviews, I agree this is an older hotel geared mainly to business people. However, it is the staff that makes this hotel great. We were treated like royalty during our stay. Definitely worth a second look. Would stay there again.
