The free Wi-Fi primo downtown location and unique historic architecture are what our guests find of note at Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown. The 14-story hotel is built in an historic 1920's landmark building—the former San Diego Trust & Savings Bank. The renovation has repurposed it into 230 rooms all with coffeemakers microwaves and mini-fridges. There are high-end mattresses and fluffy bedding for your lounging comfort and free hotel-wide Wi-Fi for surfing the day away. The hotel has a business center to help you stay in good with the boss and a fitness center to keep you moving. The impressive lobby with its lofty ceilings and grandiose décor is where you'll find the restaurant which is open for breakfast and dinner. There is even a 24-hour snack shop for quelling the munchies. The hotel is situated beautifully in the heart of downtown San Diego three blocks from San Diego Civic Theater. San Diego International Airport is three miles away. It's just a couple of blocks to the famed Gaslamp Quarter where there's nightlife and dining aplenty and Westfield Horton Plaza's outdoor shopping is a stone's throw from the front door of the property. The hotel has valet parking only but the trolley is one block away and the bus is even closer. Balboa Park's dozen museums and famed zoo are one-and-a-half miles away.
Had a very nice one night stay; would definitely return to this hotel; it's in a perfect location and didn't lack any commodity.
Liked: Clean; comfortable; quiet; location.
Disliked: No onsite parking; $40/day valet.
Liked: The bed was comfy and location was great for going to petco park. Staff was great.
Disliked: Sofa bed in suite was horrid! There were alot of homeless and shady characters walking in the area.
Disliked: When I arrived, the hair dryer they provided me with was dirty, no bathroom rob. I had to call them 5 times before they provided me with a new hair dryer. The ways they clean the room also doesn't meet the expectation I have for the hotel of this price- they simply make up bed. That's it.
Liked: The location was great. The bed sheets were soft and comfy.
Disliked: When we first came in room it smelled really bad. We had to request maintenance come and spray the room. Hotel does not have self guest parking. They want you to pay $49 a night for valet parking.
