Detailed review & photos “Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Central”

The hotel is right off the highway.

This is the building with a breakfast hall and reception, so you will need to check-in here first.

The entrance is unified with white tiles, walls, and ceilings in stained glass like in churches, and it is a European style building.

The front desk was simple.

Free coffee in the lobby.

A relaxing lobby.

At the back of the building with the lobby, there were nine similar-sized buildings.

There were numbers on each building.

You can park your car right by your building.

The building that I was staying at was in the back.

There was a kitchen/dining room on the right, a living room on the left, a bedroom at the back of the living room, and a staircase leading to the second floor.

There was a sofa and a TV in the living room. It seems that a maximum of 5 people can stay in this room. This sofa can be used as a bed as well. In the closet on the lower floor, sheets were stored.

It is big enough for a large number of people to stay.

The bedroom next to the living room.

The bathroom was on the right side of the bedroom.

The bed was a big king size bed. This room had a curtain on the door, but when the lights were turned on in the living room, the light came in, but I could sleep well anyway.

There was a TV in the corner with drawers on the bottom.

There is a desk in the bedroom on the first floor.

Stairs leading to the second floor.

The first floor seen from above the stairs.

There is a loft on the second floor. There was a bed on the left, a sink on the right and a bathroom next to it.

There was a queen size bed. In the photo, the ceiling looked low, but it was not as low as I thought.

There were tables on both sides of the bed with a telephone, memo pad, alarm and drawers underneath.

Across the bed is a TV and a closet with a mirror.

This is the bathroom on the first floor. The shower-integrated bathtub, toilet, and sink were in the same room. The shower curtains were clean.

This is the bathroom on the second floor. The bathroom on the second floor also had a bathtub. Water pressure was good and I was able to take a shower comfortably.

On the second floor, the sink was separated from the bathroom, so it was easy to do makeup.

Large and small bar of soap, shampoo and conditioner were prepared on the sink (both on the 1st and 2nd floor bathrooms). In addition, there was a boxed tissue and supplemental toilet paper.

There were closets on both floors, with an iron and ironing board. There was an additional sheet in the closet next to the entrance on the first floor, so it would be useful for when people sleep on the sofa.

There is a kitchen with a dining table.

A large space with bright lights and a large fridge, oven and kitchen with tableware were very useful.

A microwave and cook-wear.

You can live here!

The kitchen counter had menus for popcorn and coffee delivery. Snacks were available at check-in.

The fridge was big and had plenty of space to store food.

There is a restaurant serving breakfast, and guests can have breakfast for free.

Breakfast was buffet style.

I stayed at this hotel on the weekend when it was crowded, so there were times when some dishes were out of stock.

The hotel had an outdoor pool. It was next to the building with the front desk and was accessible with a key.

The pool is open from 6am to 10pm. At night the pool was lit up.

The BBQ grill can be used freely.

There were sofas by the fire pit, and there was a basketball court next to it. I had the impression that children were basketball, adults were doing BBQ, and small children were swimming in the pool.

The gas station right in front of the hotel and it was convenient to buy snacks and beer here.

KOGI BBQ just across the highway from the hotel was cheap and delicious! Most of the customers were UCSD students.

There were many families staying.

A Korean supermarket.

A full-fledged Vietnamese food just across the highway, and I did takeout for lunch there. There were many local university students at the restaurant.
