The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Had to pay for parking was what I didn’t like."

The Sofia Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Pros: The staff was great, rooms were clean, decor was nice, a/c worked. Cons: the elevator and room was super small. Like abnormally small. Made me a little claustrophobic when I was in the elevator. The valet parking was expensive (50 dollars) especially when you are expected to tip- and you should). There was a weird hidden fee of 24 dollars so the 75 dollar deposit went out the door. Started out affordable but got too expensive too quick especially for what it is. "

Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina

10/10 Excellent

"I always choose to stay in any Marriott hotel because they accomodate me and my family and the staff are friendly and helpful. Their hotels are clean and well-maintained. Also, they have great restaurants inside or snacks and vending machines which is helpful and easy to get to. My only wish is for them to have more electric chargers."

Sheraton San Diego Resort

8/10 Good

"I stayed in a room in the newly renovated Lanai tower. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the upgrades far exceeded my expectations and are much nicer than the non-renovated rooms. Only drawback is that it's at the far end of the property, which is a long haul carrying luggage. Otherwise, loved my stay there."
