The hotel is beautiful and comfortable and VERY fun! It is way too expensive without the discounted room rate.

We came for a baseball game and found Margaritaville was in walking distance to the stadium. The hotel is clean and fun and a great location in the Gas Lamp District. We would definitely recommend and look forward to a return visit.

We had a great stay at the hotel, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the $70.00 daily parking fee felt a bit excessive, and it’s likely we wouldn’t return in the near future because of it.

We had a great staycation at Margaritaville San Diego. Super convenient to Petco and the Padre game. The hotel is beautifully decorated from the lobby, to the rooms, to the pool area and restaurant. When you walk in, you immediately want to unwind, relax, and enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. It’s like being on a beach vacation in the middle of the city.

My spouse and I enjoyed ourselves at this hotel for it's close proximity to the Gaslamp District with an abundance of great restaurants, steps away from Petco Park, and only minutes away from the Pier. Love the ambiance and festive Margaritasville decor and the inviting staff at the frontdoor, at the on-site restaurant, and in lobby/garage area. Overall, we had a great time with no problems to report! Just waiting for our credit from our daily deposit.
