Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown

Very cool historic building. Front desk staff and restaurant staff were friendly and professional. Valet costs is ridiculous at $70/day with no alternatives. And the valet staff is always overwhelmed — we had to wait a good 20 minutes blocking traffic while one guy moved cars closer together to make maroon for us on the curb. Getting your car takes 15-20 minutes each time. Valet team is friendly, it’s just not an ideal set up. No iron in the room. There was no ice maker on our floor so we had to go to another floor for ice. You can only get regular Starbucks coffee (no other morning drink options) at the bar when someone is there which isn’t until 6 am. There are no hooks in the bathroom for towels so you only have the towel bar to hang towels to dry. While the building is secure, it didn’t feel safe to walk around the area at night. Was woken up at 3 am on a Sunday morning by a very loud argument between two guys and a woman. Had to listen to them screaming for nearly an hour despite calling the front desk. To be fair, the hotel did send someone up to put a stop to it after I called…however, as soon as the hotel staff member left, round 2 began. I don’t know how a hotel this large can be safe and watched over with so little overnight staff. I did have breakfast at the restaurant one morning and it was delicious and the server was very friendly and professional. I hate to leave a negative review but given the price of this stay, I expected more.

Great stay at the Courtyard in San Diego. In the heart of downtown and nearby good restaurants that are walking distance. Allowed us to check in early, which I thought was amazing!

Do be aware that, like most downtowns, there were some unhoused people in the area, but they never bothered us as we passed by.

The room was very clean. The building itself is a historical building and felt a little damp and musty. The staff I interacted with were pleasant, but there were very few people available to assist with anything. There is no pool and actually no real amenities. The area is close to a lot and very walkable. I ordered breakfast room service one morning and it was not good and cost $100. Overall, it was just ok but I wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel location was right for my trip.

Expedia had listed the incorrect room occupancy and the hotel was kind enough to give us a cot free of charge. However we were still only able to sleep 5 instead of the 6 listed.

First front desk person that “helped” us was rude and condescending and not interested in answering questions or actually being helpful. The bathroom was run down and dirty.

Greatbstay

Thank you

Great place

Excellent location to restaurants, bars,and Petco Stadium. Will definitely recommend staying here

The building was beautiful outside and the inside was gorgeous as it was an old bank. The staff was friendly but our room wasn’t serviced 2 days in a row and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. Then Monday we checked out there was no one to help us with our luggage. We had to haul the stuff ourselves. Just wasn’t impressed with the services as a Marriott.

Everything was good there was no usb-c jacks for new iphones

Good breakfast, clean, good service…

We arrivedin our room around 10 pm Our shower was clogged and we reported to the front desk. They said they have no maintenance at night and that a security guard was coming to look at the shower. He didnt come until 11:30 pm. We were sleeping already and never snet anyone again in the morning. They told us the managerwould contact us and a week later no one has called. This was a weekend that ddogers were in town and we paid $600 for the night. Horrible would not stay again. Also the walls are so thin. You can hear people partying until early morning.

We only stayed one night. The hotel architecture was beautiful as it is an old bank building. Our stay was quick but we had no issues with our stay. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the surrounding community. It’s in the downtown area of the Gaslamp district and with any downtown area you have homeless people. It’s unfortunate but a reality. I would caution those with families as we also observed drug use with the homeless people on and around that block of the hotel. It’s more of a city issue and not the hotel but people who have never visited the area before should know.

The only drawback is that it is located downtown and there are a lot of homeless in the area. However the hotel is very accessible to other areas of the city which also have a homeless problem. We did not find the restaurant to be anything special however there are many good options within walking distance. Overall a great stay

Clean property and rooms. Staff inside and outside were very friendly. The hotel is conveniently located close to downtown. Definitely recommend staying here.

Location was excellent staff super professional all the time
