Frommer's "The Marriott chain took control of a 22-story eyesore hotel and in 2004 turned it into something worthy of this happening Gaslamp Quarter location." Full review
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

Although the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter is within walking distance of numerous neighborhood eateries, grab a bite at Soleil @k if you don't feel like traveling too far for grub.

Our favorites are the gracious suites with window seats that overlook the Scripps Park's palms and the sea.
Concierge "The casual, understated elegance of the Grande Colonial hotel... lies somewhere between the buttoned-up La Valencia and the chic Hotel Parisi."

If it's prime Pacific views you're after, ask for an ocean-facing room on the upper floors of the main hotel.
Fodor's "This white wedding cake–style hotel in the heart of La Jolla village has ocean views and charming European details." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Elegantly appointed rooms are in keeping with the hotel’s European ambience."
Rough Guide "The cosy but elegant rooms have boutique furnishings and free wi-fi, and there’s a handful of larger suites, and excellent package deals."
Star Service "Located in the heart of town, an easy walk to the Museum of Modern Art and the Cove, this updated Teddy Roosevelt-era treasure built in 1913 is an area landmark, and not just for history buffs." Full review

Any rooms with a water view is a safe bet, though the corner units are worth requesting.
Gayot "Right down the street from La Valencia, The Grande Colonial La Jolla is just as charming with more spacious guest rooms and finer dining."
BlackBook "Smack dab in precious La Jolla village, this yellow hotel is an icon. Its signature restaurant, Nine-Ten, is one of the city’s finest."

Jetsetter "The staff at the Grande Colonial is as warm and unobtrusive as the California sunshine, with smiling, tanned young faces asking if you need help with anything." Full review
