Disappointing Experience, Poor Service and No Accountability
Fabian C on Jun 10, 2025
We stayed at this Residence Inn in San Diego and had a really disappointing experience. My daughter’s pool toys, including her custom-fit goggle mask, were placed in a brown paper bag next to the door. Housekeeping came in and threw them out, even though it was clearly not trash. We noticed right away and alerted the front desk. The housekeeping manager denied taking anything but told us to speak with the front desk for compensation. There was no manager on-site that day (our checkout day), and we were told to call back. We did, multiple times over the next few weeks, and left messages. No one ever got back to us. No follow-up, no apology, and no accountability. On top of that, the bathtub drain was clogged and required maintenance during our stay. The whole experience was frustrating, and the idea of relaxing by the pool with our daughter was ruined by careless staff and poor customer service. Would not stay here again.

That's outrageous! Upon arrival at check-in, there was no help with luggage. Then, once my room was assigned, I entered to find a musty smell, along with suspicious urine stains on the bathroom door and a stale-smelling, unventilated refrigerator. In short, I went downstairs to explain my problems and requested a room change, which was granted. The new room was slightly cleaner but not spotless, the windows let in drafts due to gaps in the seals, and the rooms aren't soundproofed at all – you can hear everything, from the neighbor walking to doors opening; I can even participate in the conversation with my next-door neighbor. And for this second night, we had the pleasure of being woken up at 6 am by an alarm. I called reception, but no one answered. The alarm eventually stopped. It was impossible to fall back asleep due to the ambient noise. I paid a significant amount, and it wasn't to not even have the minimum requirements of a Marriott hotel. I only have one night left, and I'm already dreading it.
