Quick Verdict: InterContinental San Diego vs Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa

When InterContinental San Diego wins: choose InterContinental if you want to be in downtown San Diego — walking distance to the Embarcadero, USS Midway, Seaport Village, restaurants and nightlife, plus large meeting and event facilities for conferences or weddings.

When Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa wins: choose the Marriott if you want a more resort-like, family-friendly stay on Coronado Island with multiple outdoor pools, waterfront cottages and a focus on on-property recreation and spa services.
