Quick Verdict: Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina vs La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

When the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina wins: choose the Marriott for business travel, large weddings or conferences, and families who want downtown attractions, a large pool deck, and easy access to ferries and trolley links.

When La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club wins: pick La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club for a low-key, private-club beachfront stay with tennis and on-site golf lessons, a small resort feel, and closer access to La Jolla’s beaches and coves.

Rooms: towers and marina views vs. cottages and beachfront suites

  • About 90 air-conditioned rooms and cottages, including Golf Course Two Bedroom Cottage and Beachfront Two Bedroom Suite.
  • Rooms include kitchenettes in some Club guestrooms and suites with ocean views.

Dining & drinks: multiple downtown outlets vs. club dining
