We enjoyed our stay. Premises were very clean, staff was very friendly, beds were clean and very comfortable, my family and I really enjoyed the pool, we will be back!
Everything was perfect. I would recommend this hotel, and would stay again if in San Diego. Clean room, polite and helpful staff, full bar which was perfect to sit and unwind after fighting traffic on a long trip.
Our stance in this hotel was great and beyond. Great room, cleaness, staff very nice, food so yummy.
I definitely recommend Courtyard By Marriott San Diego Central
Great location, area is very safe, quiet with a great pool area lots of food options near by. Would definitely consider if staying in SD area. Only 15 minutes from downtown.

Great staff who checked me. Very clean room and was not disappointed. Gardena me pool area well kept.
The room was a decent size and clean. We enjoyed the breakfast options and love that they have a Starbucks. Check-in and check-out was very easy. My only critique is that they need better insulation between the rooms, especially the ceiling for those heavy footed folks who are staying above you. I also note that there are no restaurants or shopping in walking distance.

Room was clean and the staff was friendly. There was nothing special about the stay, rooms are not really updated. For the price I did expect a little more and you have to pay for parking which is always a bummer.
Staff was amazing and very friendly. Room was clean and spacious.
