“Great tourist location”

Courtyard San Diego Old Town

11 Jul 2007
6/6 found this review helpful

The best thing about the Courtyard Old Town is its location, on the edge of Old Town San Diego. Once you figure out where it is, it's easy to get from the hotel to anything in Old Town. And because Old Town is served by San Diego's trolleys, it's easy to get to many other places in the city.

The hotel is crammed onto a small space -- land is at a premium in Old Town. You can park in their garage for $15 or compete for a small number of free spaces in a tiny lot or go for on-street parking. We found it relatively easy to avoid paying for parking and would advise you at least try to do the same.

The lobby contains all the tourist maps you could hope for. What''s more. the front desk was most helpful with directions. We did not try the restaurant for breakfast, but it looked like the same sort of buffet spread available in lots of hotels. There is a small pool that did not seem to be heated and a hot tub that comfortably seats 8 or so. And there's nothing lukewarm about the hot tub. Strong jets pushing lots of hot water.

The rooms are comfortable, although the layout s somewhat old. We thought the beds felt soft until we actually climbed in. They were fine. The room was very clean.

In sum, it's not the newest Couryard we've seen, nor is it the most covenient. But for a San Diego tourism experience, it's a fine choice, especially if you can book it about $160, as we did.

Stayed here for a little weekend getaway from Los Angeles with my husband and daughter. Not bad. Not bad area as well. In old town, near good dining and a walk thru the old town. A nice sized pool with jacuzzi that my daughter and I took full advantage of. Overall it's not a bad place to stay. Beds were a bit hard but then again it is the courtyard...

2/4 found this review helpful

We found our bed to be really dirty, I won't mention to what we found. We did request a room to be away from the freeway which helped on the noise. However ther eis no breakfast their resturant is over priced, internet service was down the whole time. We heard everything the people next our room was doing. Stay down the street for the same price at the Holiday Inn.

desk clerk Cameron sorted us out. we knew it would be expensive $190 per night. but what the heck we were on holiday.and £ for $$ good for us.
nice room, big bed and even bigger chair facing into town, not the i-5.nice and quiet.
breakfast included, full hot cooked to order.
friday evening wine reception.
small pool ,did not try.
really enjoyed our stay there. a nice walk to old town park,shops and restaurants.
tip

thank you Cameron for your help.

“Overpriced in San Diego”

My husband and I just returned home from spending two nights at the Old Town Courtyard by Marriott in San Diego. We usually find this chain to provide a fair and comfortable facility. Unfortunately, this is not the case in San Diego. Not only is the facility old and somewhat rundown, it is uncomfortable (except for the bed) with the rooms being unusually small and inconvenient.....especially the bathrooms...and noisy. There is NO included breakfast and the internet service in the lobby is only available at a very excessive cost. We stayed there because we needed airport transportation and even that was delayed from its schedule with no apology or apparent reason. We will NOT stay there again!
