Fodor's "The 22-story Marriott sits amid the Gaslamp's restaurants and boutiques, near a trolley station, the convention center, and PETCO Park." Full review
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"A sleek lobby... and the street-level Latitude Lounge make this 291-room Marriott in the hip Gaslamp Quarter quite a bit more happening than your average chain hotel." Full review
