Was excited to stay at Margaritaville until we got into our room! Instant smell of cigarettes like someone had just smoked a pack in there. The restroom was the worst part, the smell stayed in there all weekend, and dirty sink and shower. With the price we payed we were hoping for a cleaner experience!

No heated pool, No hot tub, No room service. Asked about room upgrade and was put in a room with balcony. BUT balcony did not access anything, had adjoining wall with pool, so very noisy. Balcony had no view and all we could see was a wall. Would not recommend.

Overall, had a good stay. The location of the property made is extremely convenient getting around Gaslamp. Property was clean and the staff were great. There were a couple of issues that prevented me giving them 5 stars that I’ll elaborate on. 1) When I called the main the desk to get some additional towels delivered, I was put on hold for quite some time, probably a good 30 minutes. Not sure if they were short staffed or just forgotten about but those things leave a sour taste when it comes to hospitality. Eventually, we just tracked down a maid and grabbed towels from them. 2) We were given a ADA room, which was probably the only room they had available at the time we checked in (1:45PM). It wasn’t a bad thing but the bench inside the tub made it very inconvenient to shower since it took up nearly 1/2 the tub. Other than those things, I would probably stay here again and get a regular room.

Fun time

We had a lovely stay. But I was disappointed in the fact that the gift shop closed early and the restaurant closed early. I think the valet parking fee was way too much. And the tub spout and our shower dripped all night long. So that was frustrating to listen to. I was also disappointed in the fact that the day we were leaving, the pool was closed due to a private event. Something like this needs to be addressed or have the patrons informed prior to the stay because this is an amenity that we wanted to use.
