Every time I'm in San Diego, I choose to stay at the Courtyard San Diego Central. Rooms are a good size and are always clean. The restaurant and bars are great, and I particularly enjoy the lobby/lounge area. It's a great place to have a glass of wine and finish up work for the day. I absolutely recommend this location...

Had a very pleasant stay when traveling for business. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice; pool was warm; bar well stocked; and food satisfying. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

As a busy Executive Assistant, I am often asked to arrange the logistics for our visitors/colleague's who come in to San Diego on business.

I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott for business and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there especially during my short periods of downtime. The staff was friendly and helpful and I always appreciate great customer service. The Security Officer onsite was friendly and helpful too!

I am a Gold Elite Member, soon to gain Platinum status, and I stayed at this location a number of times over the past few weeks. The staff was great, the rooms acceptable, however, the amenities available to guests are absent. No Complimentary Morning Coffee, Really ?

Thank you for your loyalty to Marriott and congratulations in advance of achieving Platinum status soon. I also appreciate you recognizing our team. I am sad that we disappointed you in some ways.

Courtyard San Diego Central exceeded our expectations. Any large group and their bookings are complicated and challenging.

This is one of the best maintained hotels I have stayed in. The room was clean and comfortable with an updated decor.

Thank you for discovering us. You are absolutely correct that our neighborhood is not congested like Mission Valley is, nor do we charge for parking like many Mission Valley hotels. We are still very close to the Mission Valley area though; the Fashion Valley Mall for instance is just 3 freeway exits from our hotel (5 miles or 8 minutes).... More
