Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown-Gaslamp - San Diego 32.71569, -117.15981

Our stay at the Courtyard Marriott in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter was absolutely wonderful from the moment we arrived. The front desk staff were remarkably friendly and helpful, providing us with an excellent room and useful tips during our one-week stay. The room was spacious and clean with a beautiful view, a large bathroom, and no noise from the neighbors. Fresh coffee is available in the room or in the front lobby every morning. Internet access is free on fast computers in the lobby. The bar has a great happy hour every evening, and the restaurant offers delicious meals. The building itself is spectacular, with the original bank vaults in the basement near the gym and laundry room. This hotel made our stay in San Diego memorable and delightful, and we will definitely stay here in the future.

The staff was nice and helpful and the location is great. There is alot of things to do in the gaslamp area. There is only valet parking. The only bad thing was in the morning, the shower kept going to hot to cold and I couldnt control it. It didnt happen in the evening.

This hotel used to be an old bank, so there's an art deco bank aesthetic that is very cool. The front desk is behind teller windows, that kind of thing. It's a great location, but there were a few things that you should be aware of. First, there is only paid valet parking, at $24 a night. Ouch. The temperature controls in the room wouldn't go below 72 degrees, which may have been fine where the thermostat was, but on the other side of the room it was a bit warm. My room was pretty noisy, it sounded like aircon machinery outside, and it was all night. That all said, I'd still stay there again. Great location and great decor.

Converted bank building led to some quirky amenities (a bathroom in an old bank vault) and floor configurations, but didn't detract at all from the stay. Rooms were all comfortable (especially hte large beds) and wired internet access worked well in the rooms. WiFi only in the lobby/bar. On the north end of the Gaslamp District, it was close to most things (restaurants, Horton Plaza, 15-minute walk to Convention Center). Neighborhood to the north had some sketchy elements to it, but never felt at risk or in danger. Would recommend easily to travelers of all types, but those wary of street noise should stay away from the first floor/mezzanine.

Great room for the money. Close to convention center (15 min walk down 5th ave)

The hotel was not worth the money we payed.I would not stay hee again.

Nothing special about this hotel. Looks like they spend tons renovating the lobby and meeting rooms but went cheap when doing the rooms. Rooms are extremely small with a very small bathroom. No more than 2 people can fit in a room. Any more and you'll be bumping elbows. The price of the hotel is also steep. I'm sure there's better deals out there. The only thing outstanding about this hotel is it's location in the gaslamp district if you plan on going out there at night. Otherwise, stay elsewhere.

The hotel was located in a good place, but parking your car would be a problem. The hotel provide valet but it was expensive. There are a lot of restaurants and club. We stayed at the hotel for that reason. I wouldn't go back there again.

PURE AMAZINGNESS!

If you're visitng the Gaslamp, this is a great hotel. Old Bank building redone. We would stay there again. Walking distance to all restaurants. Be aware this is downtown San Diego. Expect homeless.

ABSOLUTE AMAZINGNESS!

The building is spectacular! It used to be a bank and the conversion to a hotel is absolutely beautiful. I'm into historic buildings and this one didn't skimp. The lobby is grand and imposing, yet warm. And the historic touches don't take away from all the modern frills like the flat screen TV, the showers with great water pressure, and the cushy mattresses! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to San Diego.

This was an awesome hotel. Right in the heart of the gaslamp district, down the street from the Horton Plaza Mall. Everything is in walking distance (Restaruants,bars,shops). Parking was a hair pricey, but better than the public prices. The building is a historic landmark, so it was very elegent. Not too mention the very friendly staff. Our bell boy even got us on the guest list for the best club in town. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to have fun, and not want to drive.

The title says it all. Beautiful hotel with in walking distance to any type of restaurant you could imagine. The nicest staff I've ever come across. Let them tell you where to eat, you'll be amazed. One small issue with the room. Even though we ran the A/C constantly, the room always felt stuffy. The windows are locked shut so no fresh air could circulate. Other than that, I'd stay here again and again! Just remember, if you valet park, call down from your room 10 minutes before you want your car.

This hotel lacks "ambience". It used to be an old bank building and it feels like it. It is absolutely not cozy at all, not welcoming and very, very cold. I think it is way overpriced and I would not stay here again. The service however was excellent. Everyone was very attentive and even room service called back to make sure every thing was ok. i was extremely satisfied with the service. I just would not stay here again because it is overpriced and it is a cold place. not a lot of ambience.

Front desk, valet, restaurant servers, and house keeping were all extremely polite and helpful. I had A LOT of requests and they met all of them without complaint. The bar is great and open late- the bartender was also very friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and well kept. I was here on business and this hotel is located right next to night life and all of my meetings.

We had a great time. Everybody was very friendly, and helpful. Our room faced the sun and our air conditioning didn't work.

The hotel was adequate but parking was terrible. I had never been in this part of San Diego and I found it to be very scary. Too many bums and crazy sounding dirty people. I did not feel safe here. Also it is a very noisy area with a party atmosphere. Not right for families.

the service was worth the price. everyone remembered our names all weekend long. loved the lobby. gorgeous!

If you want to stay in the gaslamp area wtih all the noisey clubs and restaurants then this is a good place. It's close to lots of things to do.

We decided to valet park because it was New Years Eve, and all the parking lots were probably full and expensive. The warm greetings we received from Yashon at the front desk made our stay so pleasant. He quickly checked us in and gave us the option of a couple of rooms. Although the room was slightly smaller than your usual hotel room, it was nice, clean, and comfortable. We ordered a couple of champaigne glasses which came just after we entered our room. Talk about quick! Front desk called shortly afterthat to see if we received our glasses. The location was so ideal. We did a quick stroll right into the Gas Lamp district. So simple, especially if you're going to be drinking. We would definitely recommend this place to people on a budget but want the convenience of the nightlife. The only disadvantage was retrieving your car from valet, it took around 15 minutes.

Clean, comfortable, and enjoyable. Staff was friendly, no complaints. Great location also.

close to everything, has charm and staff is very accomodating

My only complaint was finding this hotel at night. They could use some better signs outside. Other than that it is a great hotel with very nice rooms.

Great hotel. Can't wait to stay there again. Friendly staff and very clean atmosphere.

we had a great room with an awesome view! The location was great next to shopping and nice restaurants and the night life i would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

Very polite hotel staff members. Excellent place to stay.

the hotel room was nice and the hotel is in a great location. The hotel staff were very helpful with directions and transportation. The fitness room was very nice and so was the restaurant although I only ate there for breakfast. The lobby is beautiful and the vault meeting room is neat. There is no pool but I was more concerned with seeing san diego and going to the beach than swimming in the hotel pool. Overall for the price this hotel is great!

Minus the $28/day parking charge, we thought the hotel was great! It was well within walking distance to the mall, movie theater, and great restaurants. The zoo was a short drive and easy to find. Room service for breakfast came promptly and we were very pleased with the food. Great service and pretty lobby.

Had a great time staying here! The rooms were nice and the bed was comfortable. The lobby was amazing! All the marble and decorations were spot on. The history of the location was neat to hear about. The staff was helpful and kind. Would love to stay again. the only downfall is the parking $$ a day is a bit much on top of the room rate. All and all really liked the hotel!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Interesting how they are using the original bank structure and features. It's nice to have something different in a 'chain' hotel other than the picture above the bed changing per the various states/climates. Room & staff were very nice as well.

Hotel did not have a concierge, so the desk clerk sort of stumbled along suggesting a place to eat close by. Also the shower did not drain!!! Even after an hour and a half there was still standing water in the tub. Yuk! Otherwise it was clean, and quiet. Close proximity for my business meeting, and felt safe in the neighborhood.

The location was excellent if you need to be near the Gaslamp District. The only 2 problems we encountered were the tub did not drain fast enough and the TV sound was not working well, not sure if it was the remote control. Overall it was okay for the one night stay we needed.

Service was great and very friendly. Rooms were comfy and clean. People complained in other reviews about price but I don't think you could do better in any big city down town district for the money. The old bank architecture was beautiful and fun to explore in any part of the hotel. One bit of advice is the trolley stop is a short walk from the hotel and can take you about anywhere.

This is a first class hotel located just a short walk from plenty of restaurants, shops, PetCo Park, and the harbor. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast buffet.

The hotel is fine, rooms are neat and clean. I stayed there Sat and Sun nite. Just one problem - a week earlier before I made my room reservations I had called to make sure they had two double beds available as I was travling with 2 other ppl. Courtyard assured me that they would, upon checking in on Saturday they informed me that all their double rooms had been booked and no roll-in beds were available. I was dissapointed in their inability to provide what was promised, however the next day (Sunday) they were able to move us to a double room.

A former bank building converted into a hotel. Love the conference rooms in the lower floors where you can sit inside the old bank disposit rooms. The hallways of the guest floors still look like a business office hallway and not at all like a hotel.
