Pros:

Staff was amazing. Parking and location. Bistro staff amazing. Need more dinner options. Maybe add some vegan options.
Facility clean

Cons:

Bathroom size is important. Sink area was too small. Windows was so dirty you can't see out of them.( Room 345) Couldn't turn the air on because the room was so dusty. Made my allergies flare up

Best price guarantee program and loyalty program benefits
Pros:

We have been to this courtyard Marriott in Carlsbad several times because it was recently renovated , perfect location and the most important thing to us in a hotel is the comfort ability of the bed. Beds were very comfortable, hotel is very clean and staff very friendly and engaged. This last trip was extra special. . We had to book last minute and I could only get a higher price than we typically pay as the hotel was almost sold out. . Prior to our arrival, I found a cheaper price in one of the travel websites. I called the Marriott main customer service to find out about their “best price guarantee program” and got minimal assistance . The representative told us to fill out a form online. That was the best he could do. Once we arrived at the hotel, Daisy at the front desk , checked us in and we mentioned that we saw a lower price online but couldn’t quite get assistance from the main customer service desk.
Daisy didn’t hesitate to start investigating for us and when she realized she couldn’t help us she included her manager Lavinia who immediately came over and assessed the issue and proceeded to investigate the “best price guarantee” policy. They were both very helpful and took initiative to go the extra mile which in today’s world of customer service is non- existent. Although the hotel was fully booked she was able to provide us with a senior discount which was unavailable at the time I made the reservation. My husband is a gold member and we have rarely received the attention to iur requests that Daisy and Lavinia provided us. After we checked in Lavinia handed us a thank you bag which included a snack and two bottles of water. What a difference a nice gesture can make. I will definitely frequent this hotel as these two staff members made us feel special. Marriott is lucky to have them but I also commend Marriott for having customer service programs that actually benefit the customer and hiring staff who care…

great
Pros:

I visited the hotel for work and came down for coffee after hours. The two people standing there were so polite they made me a coffee when the restaurant was closed. it meant a lot to me as I was rushing for an important meeting. I will definitely come back for work or leisure in San Diego.

Beautiful stay
Pros:

I visited the hotel for work and had a professional interaction with General Manger Donna who perfectly fulfilled my request for a late checkout. It helped me a-lot and I will remember that. So this will be my go to hotel when I'm in the area.

Never ever again.
Pros:

Location and the employee working the bar/food area was excellent

Cons:

The rooms smelled like an old mop was used to clean the room. The front desk didn’t seem to care. They informed me that the hotel was booked and they couldn’t move me.
