We recently stayed at this property for 3 days for intensive meetings. The room for the meeting was comfortable and clean, and the staff was phenomenal in their support of us. Attentive, professional, and always cheerful. We'll come back when we're in town! More

Recently, I had the pleasure of staying at the Courtyard San Diego for a class. I arrived on Super Bowl Sunday the game was on and the Hotel had a great special on food and drinks. The staff was very helpful throughout the week. My room was kept very clean. The facilities are great. I was able to work out... More

Being away from home and the ones you love for nearly a month isn't most peoples idea of a good time. I for one was non too please about the idea. However after my experience in this hotel, I must say if I ever had to spend that much time away from home again, I couldn't think of a better... More

Stayed 4 nights in February, Room 321 Pros: Location, with easy access to all freeways; Professional service in all departments; useful amenities and modern & updated decor Cons: You need a car, because restaurants and stores are about a 20-30 minute walk. With the Courtyard brand geared to the business traveler, my wife and I rarely stay at a Courtyard,... More

Courtyard Marriott Central was the perfect place for us to hold our business / recruiting event. Location was central to many parts of San Diego so North County and S.D. clients could get to us as well as those East up the 15. Staff was very professional and service was spectacular - hotel was busy and lively in bar and... More

I stay here often because it's between downtown and Rancho Bernardo where I work. The location really works because it's easy to hop on the 163, 8, or 805 to get where I need to go. Downtown is 15-20 minutes away. The Mission Valley/Fashion Valley area is 10 minutes away. The hotel is squeaky clean and the staff always takes... More

Greetings to Holland! I am pleased that we impressed you. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I can only echo the comfortable mattresses. I just checked out of the hotel myself after staying here for over 1 month at the beginning of my job tenure. I found the mattress to be very comfortable and our duvets just the... More

This was my second stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Central. It was a great choice for so many reasons. The staff are all so friendly and went out their way to make me feel welcome.

If you thought central meant near zoo, sea world, gas lamp, nope... This is near businesses like Sharp. Big lobby, easily distracted night receptionist. Generous size rooms. Outdoor pool not heated well enough for my use. Platinum marriott members get no extra warmth or services, points at check in or amenity as usual is offered. Quiet. Costs more than other... More

Thank you very much for outlining your observations in such detail. I particularly appreciate of course the positive observations like the spacious room size and quiet location of our hotel. I also cherish the opportunity to comment on your constructive feed-back: - While we are not right next to a major tourist attraction, we are certainly very centrally located. Pretty... More
