Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

Great Getaway location

Bed was not so comfortable. Had an ada room and not sure if just the shower handle qualified the room to be ada. Lighting for a visually impaired person was very poor room 715.

Location

No, everything was great!

Excellent location, and the complimentary breakfast was awesome.

If I had to complain about something it would be the housekeeping. After breakfast we hit the town and were gone for about 6 hours, in that time the room still had not been made up.

Very clean room and good location

Breakfast was so so.

I didn't have the breakfast.

The desk clerk who checked me was very nice, and helpful, but didn't know how to explain things. I had a specific, unusual problem with the reservation that he solved for me, but even though English was his first language, he seemed only semi-verbal in his efforts to explain what he did and what I should do. Then I asked for walking directions to a place that proved to be right around the corner. He seemed to know where it was, but had a lot of trouble explaining how to get there and had to ask the help of another clerk, who explained the directions easily. I have sympathy for his disability, but he should not have been hired into that particular job. A minor point: The bathroom door is a sliding pocket door. On the doorjamb, the little rectangular piece of metal that serves as a bumper for the locking mechanism was loose and able to rotate on the one screw that was holding it in place. So at one point it had rotated into a position that allowed it to be positioned in the path of the sliding door. At one point, it blocked the edge of the door and prevented me from opening the door from inside the bathroom, even though I had not engaged the lock flange. I figured the problem out and rotated the bumper piece back into its proper position, but it needs to be replaced one that's supported by two screws. That way, it won't be able to rotate out of position.
