My stay here was absolutely amazing! We were greeted immediately by the valet. Walking into the lobby, there is a sensational aroma that lingers and also is in the upstairs lobby. It was simply amazing. I was then greeted by German at the front who...More

I usually love staying at Marriott properties, but not this one. My profile requests a high floor... I may as well have requested a room in the basement. 1719 has a view of a roof top through a window that looks like it hasn't been...More

I lived in L.A., and I lived downtown Seattle, and I stayed in Spokane where the homeless population is very bad. We even have tent cities in Seattle.
That being said, I was just in San Diego last week for the 4th of July, and stayed until Friday.
Yes the homeless population is bad, they don’t hide like up here in Seattle because they don’t have ditches, and large trees to hide during the day. So day, and night you see homelesss everywhere. Walking around you get a whiff of urine if you’re heading out for breakfast, and watch where you walk because you might step in some. Not fun when wearing flip flops. They won’t bug you, or beg, you’ll just basically be walking by or sitting near. Also, if you’re out late, most likely you’re parked next to someone’s makeshift home, so don’t be alarmed when you get back to your car, if you have to either jump over, or have your honey move the car so you can get in. So if you don’t mind it, just go your merry way enjoying San Diego. However during these desperate times, I made sure my crossbody bag was always have it in front of me, and I check for my iPhone X to make sure it wasn’t snatched at all times. I’m not paranoid, I’m aware because I had an iPhone snatched from my purse in Seattle.
Yes the hotel is family friendly! The only thing about having kids are if your walking there are a lot of homeless people all around. The best way to get around is to Uber. Very simple to do. Stan H.
