1. Several of the reviews mentioned train noise, we hear the trains every now and then but they have never woken me or kept me from having a good nights sleep, also people have mentioned the homeless, remember that this hotel is located in the heart of major cities downtown area, with the beautiful weather here many homeless call San Diego home, never have any other them bothered me or made me feel uncomfortale coming or going from the hotel.

2. I had read the other reviews about railroad noise and had stayed at the Marriott a few years ago and was kept up nights with the light rail and BNSF trains, so I came prepared with a white noise app on my phone.

5. If your room faces the city street, the noise can be quite overwhelming sometimes, as the garbage trucks, construction drills and fire trucks can be quite loud.

6. In terms of train noise, it was very quiet over the weekend and got much louder on Monday/Tuesday nights (maybe some overzealous train operator was having fun honking the horn 7 times in a row.

10. Amtrak noise can be an issue here particularly between 10pm and 3am( they blast the horn for about a mile before even passing the hotel) so definitely recommend using the provided earplugs regardless.
