The wedding…read moreceremony took place on the lawn of golf course, cocktail hour was in a partially enclosed outdoor patio, and dinner was held indoors. While the venue itself was gorgeous, I felt the space was rather cramped, especially the reception area. There were 2 bar stations but when people lined up to get drinks, there was no space to move around them, you're just stuck in one place. With 150 guests, there was seating for about 20, and limited tall tables for placing drinks and hors d'oeuvres on top for another 20. The other guests and I agreed the reception should have been held on the lawn where it was more spacious. We did catch a gorgeous view of the sunset. The outdoor deck was also a beautiful setting for photos! Inside the club house where the dinner reception was held, it was more spacious. The layout was nice and it provided a long runway for the bridal party to make their grand entrance. There was a good sized dance floor, so we all enjoyed the evening. The event coordinator did a wonderful job and I appreciated the attention to detail. Kudos to the chef and waitstaff for preparing and delivering our plated meals of steak or Chilean sea bass, it was delicious!

Cute little spot definitely not your standard Marriott. I lived across the street from here for a…read morehandful of years in my childhood and cannot remember what hotel this was originally. You can tell it was acquired by Marriott because it has a very unique layout and is not super commercialized. It has a very cute enclosed center area that was accessible by our back sliding glass door. We were here a couple nights while I was visiting family and we used our Marriott points to stay here. I will definitely say I've stated a lot of Marriott properties over the years and this one is definitely not the normal which isn't a bad thing or a good thing just expected to not feel like a Marriott. Nice location in Solana Beach. There's still street parking outside so you don't really need to pay for the parking here. Quick walk to popular beaches, coffee shops in the little Solana Beach strip. If you're doing anything in the quick vicinity is definitely a great area but keep in mind that if you plan on going south at all towards La Jolla or San Diego that traffic times I've gotten very intense, especially in the dozen or so years it's been since I've lived there. Great jump, jumping off the spot if you want to stay in North County

Pros: on the main drag and a relatively easy walk (or very very short drive) from the train station and Cedros. Close to lots of eats. Also easy beach access -- long stairway. Cons: bed too soft and too squeaky. There was a constant electrical hum in the room that came from an undetectable source. Bathroom in need of updates (cracked tiles and broken baseboards). Limited amenities on-site. Coffee was free at the bistro but wasn't advertised as such so we ignored it until the morning of our departure.

[Parking]: The garden has a small private parking lot and there were still few parking spots available at 2:30 PM on Saturday. [Bunny Encounters & Price]: Our party booked a 30-minute bunny session ahead of our visit. For reservations, they offer a 20-minute session for $22 per person or a 30-minute session for $25 per person. Walk-ins are welcome as space allows. Reservations are recommended on weekends. [Bunny Experience]: The garden has one window counter for ordering coffee drinks and another counter for bunny sessions. Our party arrived on time, waited in line, and ended up 5 minutes late to our scheduled session. The staff instructed us not to pick up the bunnies and our party had to wear shoe covers before entering the pens. During the session, our party was able to ask the staff as many leaves as we want. Personally, I found the experience a bit underwhelming because (1) I was only able to get the bunnies' attention with leaves and (2) since visitors can't pick up the bunnies, the only activities our party could do were feeding them and watching them eat leaves. There is also a small house with baby bunnies. [Menu]: After the bunny session was over, our party walked up to the window counter and ordered coffee drinks. The top highlighted drinks include The Gardener and The Florist (ceremonial unsweetened organic matcha with rose). Iced drinks 16 oz only. They also sell pizza here. *** The Gardener (organic espresso with honey, lavender, and vanilla - iced 16 oz - $7.50): The drink tasted a bit sweeter than I would have preferred. *** The garden has a good first-date vibe, but personally this is a one-and-done spo. I was disappointed that visitors can't pick up the bunnies even if they hop onto your lap. I recommend sticking with the 20-minute session rather than the 30-minute session for the feeding and petting experience. Also the coffee drink I had was mediocre at best.

We worked with Rachel and Jordan and booked about 1.5 years in advance. They were communicative and very flexible with my multitude of changes throughout the year and a half working with them. I was even able to add a cake tasting and cake later on and change certain rentals very close to wedding date. They were patient and accommodating and willing to make just about anything work! My guests were incredibly happy with the food and the service, and my husband and I absolutely loved the waiter assigned to us on wedding day! The only thing that went wrong was half of our string lights (required by DH) went out for the entirety of the seated meal due to an installation error. I'm not docking any points from rating as this was a genuine mistake and WTC reached out to their EPR contact right away to have them return to site and get it fixed. It did take about an hour+ to resolve but WTC was very apologetic and even provided a a partial refund for the lighting. One thing we were bummed about was that cake service occurred during the main dance floor time and if cake wasn't accepted from the server, it was a missed opportunity. According to my guests, about 90% of people didn't get cake as it wasn't left on tables and most people were on the dance floor. 2.5/3 sheets cakes remained at the end of the night. One big win was TWC was so organized and accommodating for the many dietary restrictions/allergies we threw at them and served our guests appropriately. We received no complaints and guests and family said it was handled seamlessly! All in all, my husband and I were so pleased with our decision to work with WTC and will forever cherish the role they played in making our day amazing!

Feel free to dance it off as well. - Staff and valet team were friendly and on point. - Restrooms were well-maintained and clean. - Decor is dreamy, relaxing, and very Euro-chic! CONS: - Ocean view is hit or miss depending on where you're situated. If you have a balcony you'll have the full effect. - Drinks are PRICEY (go figure!) but hey worth it-sh LOL - Gets crowded and and maybe rowdy. Some days seem chill and others not so chill. So if loud noise is not your jam on busy nights, you may have to pass. OVERALL: 4 stars for great vibes and just a beautiful spot!

The service here was unbelievably bad. I brought a group hoping to show them one of the best spots…read morein San Diego, and immediately regretted that decision the moment we walked in. We were greeted by what was, without exaggeration, one of the rudest women I have ever encountered in any restaurant. From the start, her attitude was openly hostile. Instead of welcoming us or offering even basic direction, she scolded our group for not knowing where to sit as if we were supposed to guess while offering nothing but judgmental looks in place of actual service. It was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and frankly embarrassing to have brought guests into that kind of environment. The tone she set made it clear we were not welcome, and the experience deteriorated so quickly that we left without even ordering. We came prepared to spend a significant amount of money and tip generously. Instead, this establishment will not receive a single penny from me now or ever. There are far too many excellent places in San Diego to waste time on one that treats its guests with this level of disrespect. I will be going out of my way to recommend virtually anywhere else. Oh and I wanted to add that upon walking in there is no clear hostess table or area to check in. We were not greeted by any of the staff and were standing at the entrance for about 10 minutes until we eventually went up to the bar and asked if we could take a seat on the outside patio. This should have been our sign to leave as this place was not busy by any means. There was one other group dining in other than us. Every other table open. Yet we were left standing at the entrance receiving looks of disgust from the staff in the middle of the day I might add (no where near closing time). Anyway, the bartender told us of course we could sit outside and he would send someone out to us. Shortly after seating our selves this woman rushed over to scold us for sitting exactly where we were told we could sit. The bartender eventually ran over to let her know he told us to sit there but she was so busy chewing us out and wanted us gone she ignored him and continued with her speech where she told us we were "lucky this table wasn't already reserved". Again completely empty restaurant aside from one other table. The guests I brought here had even considered staying at this hotel during their visit but luckily went with a MUCH nicer hotel in La Jolla where the staff treated us with basic respect.
