Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

I travel frequently and I can say that this is the worst hotel stay I can remember. To start with, I felt really pressured when I arrived at the sidewalk to take the unreasonable $49 valet parking rate. They mentioned that there was a $25 rate nearby but that there was no in-out privileges. They neglected to point out that there were other garages for $15 a day. Our room was not cleaned on the first day. After being out all day I called the front desk at around 4:30 pm and they said they would send someone up right away. After an hour we called several times again and were told that rooms are not cleaned after 5 pm and at one point we were told that maybe we called the wrong number when I asked for service and it might have been at another location. Room was never cleaned. Unbelievable. Breakfast was a disaster and got worse each day. On the last day we were unable have breakfast because there were no plates!!! Also the waiting line was going down the stairs. There was not enough help; they ran out of things and the help they had seemed unconcerned and had no sense of urgency. Why is breakfast only until 9 am. Ridiculous.

Nothing.

Yes, the linen had stains and made me feel very skeptical about the bed I had to sleep on.
