When's the last time you went to Downtown San Diego? Maybe you never had a reason to go? Well...now you do. The Gaslamp Quarter in Downtown San Diego is a beautiful must-see location. Eight blocks long and two blocks wide...it's full of fantastic shopping, restaurants and special events. Then, tucked right in the middle of this entertaining area is the perfect hotel: The Residence Inn by Marriott.
Can you say, "Ahhhh..." After shopping, eating, working and playing....The Residence Inn is the only place to stay.
Why?
Three reasons:
1) The Rooms. Picking the best hotel is all about the beds. With Marriott, you can never go wrong. When you walk into the room, it's such a delight to see their bed, you almost can't wait to go to sleep!
2) Free Breakfast. Not only do you get free breakfast for the whole family included with your stay, but besides the scrumptious eggs, two kinds of potatoes, four kinds of toast, four kinds of muffins, four kinds of cereal, milk, and juice, they have two fabulous make-it-yourself waffle maker machines that will have your kids (and you) begging for more. They even have yummy toppings to make you giggle like a child: chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, whip crème and for you boring folks, syrup.
3) Manager's Toast. Stay in the hotel Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and enjoy complimentary appetizers, snacks and light refreshments from 5 to 6:30. If you need something stronger, this Residence Inn has a bar with dinner and a 5 to 7 happy hour! The furniture is hip and cool with the whole bar area opening up to a street side patio.
Bottom Line: Did you know all the Residence Inn's By Marriott offer a free grocery service? Since each room has a kitchen, give the front desk your grocery list (they'll even take and use your coupons for you!) and when you get back to the hotel, your room is charged for the purchases and the food is tucked nicely away in your cabinets and refrigerator! Service cost to you: Zero. It's The Residence Inn's free service to their guests.
Bottom-Bottom Line: In your room is also free popcorn to cook in your microwave. Not that big of a deal to adults, but to that kid who just sat down for a movie, you will be the hero. And when a hotel can make a parent look good to their kids, that's a hotel you need to visit.
