Just had the greatest experience here, the staff Cecilia and Alma were awesome ! If you ever need a great place to just chill this is it, the property is very clean, rooms are fantastic. So if you ever need a reliable staff and great trip experience check out the Marina Gateway..

Hotel's Favourite
My family went to San Diego on a short family trip for three days and 2 nights in July. We chose to stay at Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel because of it's good review. The hotel pierce is a bit expensive compared to some other hotels in the nearby area, but it's still reasonable and worth the price. This hotel is not too far from downtown San Diego and many other attractions, all within in 20 -30 minutes drive. It's located in a quite industrial neighborhood, yet not too far from the freeway entrance, so it's very convenience to get on and off from the freeway. The exterior of the hotel building looks attractive, and the lobby area is always bright and clean. We love the pool area, and the fact that it's open so we get to enjoy it. We also like the fact that there are plenty of parking on site compared to some other hotels, so we don't need to worry about finding a parking space when we come back to the hotel late at night. And the best thing is that they don't charge for the parking fee. The hotel room overall is nice and neat, with all the necessary amenities. We were a little disappointed to find out that the hotel is not providing breakfast like it used to, probably due to the Covid, But there are many choice of restaurants nearby, most of them are only 5 minutes drives from the hotel. Denny's nearby even offer 15% discount when you show them your room key. The front desk staffs are extremely nice and friendly, especially Cecilia. She's always happy to help out and answering our questions, from where to find the nearby restaurants, to provide us with extra amenities for our hotel room when they ran out. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude make our stay in Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel a pleasant experience. We truly recommend this hotel and we will definitely stay here again when we visit the area next time.…

This hotel was wonderful. The desk personnel, Cecilia, Susan and Alquin were helpful and friendly. The decor for my room and for the whole hotel was newly upgraded. Everything was clean and beautiful including the towels, sheets and bedspread. I highly recommend this hotel for business or pleasure.

The hotel and room was unexpectedly top notch! Checking really late at night, I was greeted with a very professional and friendly front desk woman. In the morning was greeted again with a friendly staff Maraia, Susah & Annie. I hope to stay here again on my next business trip.

After 24 hour of travel I was exhausted and hoping to check into my room a little early. Alma cleaned a room quickly and Cecilia and Annie did not charge me extra for the early check in. They also gave me a couple bottles of water and some snacks. Not only was the staff extremely accommodating and kind, the hotel interior appears to have been newly renovated. It was also very convenient - 15 min from downtown. I will stay here again on my next business trip to San Diego.

Best Western Plus Marina Gateway has become my hotel of choice when I’m in the San Diego area – I’m here a lot and have stayed many places but this hotel has my recommendation. Conveniently located near the 5 yet it doesn’t feel like you are near a major highway. It’s reasonably located to downtown, trolley stops, south San Diego beaches, military bases and the border crossing. Walking trails, a marina park, and bay boat ramp. A restaurant, across parking lot, serves a good breakfast/lunch/dinner with a nice family atmosphere, a bar, live weekend entertainment and plenty of screens to watch games. The hotel is quiet/comfortable; has a reasonably equipped workout facility, a lovely outdoor pool and always free morning coffee/tea in the lobby. The best thing though is the people that work there – they always seem very happy, proud of their hotel and the service/hospitality they provide – you always feel welcome! Cecilia Chuong greets you at check-in with a friendly smile, even calling your room after to make sure things are perfect. Daniel is there generally in the early morning, answering any questions and making sure that coffee is ready and waiting for you. Denise Halliwell, Director of Sales, is wonderful and can help you with group/military reservations. If you, your family or group are looking for a friendly/comfortable/conveniently located and reasonably priced San Diego hotel – give Best Western Plus Marina Gateway a try – they check it all, especially friendly.…

Thanks to Annie got my room ready earlier so I can rest 😌 The staff were very friendly and had great customer service for the entire stay. The rooms were very clean, large, and updated with all the amenities. The pool and hot tub were fantastic and lots of fun. The free coffee station in the morning was a big plus and very convenient.
