Pros:

Skvělý a ochotný personál. Chtěli jsme tišší pokoj a bylo nám vyhověno. Příjemný pokoj.
Výborné jídlo v restauraci.

Cons:

Neupravené okolí bazénu, v koupelně špína v umyvadle a zašlá vana u sprchového koutu.
Netěsnící dveře od balkonu, uvnitř bylo slyšet auta z dálnice.

Well-situated, convenient to local attractions. Hotel could use a refurb.
Pros:

The location was perfectly located to the waterfront and Little Italy for restaurants and shops. It gave the experience of being a local. The staff were wonderful from check-in to the restaurant. They seemed very happy to be there and took pride in the hotel. We were next to the airport but you wouldn't know it. Loved seeing the planes land. :-)

Cons:

When we arrived, we noticed that there was a leak above the sink. It looked like the cause was a broken sprinkler head. We immediately called guest services and they switched us to a better room. The parking was hard to maneuver as it was very narrow and dark when entering, The parking structure only lit up after we have driven a little to find a space. The automatic lights must be set on delay. The elevator took a while to arrive. There was some stains on the carpet.

Best place to stay for a quick family getaway!
Pros:

I wanted a nice family get away before we begin a busy week. I booked this hotel and location because of its proximity to everything. We arrived on the 4th of July and immediately greeted by the fabulous front desk staff. We arrived two hours prior to check-in and we were assisted by Lydelle who was kind, courteous and professional. Our room was not ready however, Lydelle offered to hold our bags so that we could grab a bite to eat. We had a lot of luggage and Lydelle happily tagged them all with a smile. His level of service was exceptional. What I valued most was the camaraderie that Lydelle and his colleague Bertha along with the other Front Desk staff shared. They helped one other, and they were all quite jovial too.

When we returned back at 4pm, our room was ready and Bertha gave us our keys. She also grabbed our many bags too. Bertha shared with us, all of the amenities of the hotel including the pool and fitness center along with their hours and she also let us know the times that the restaurant opens and closes.

Our room was BEAUTIFUL and spacious. It was pristine clean! The views weee breathtaking. We stayed in the Allegro which is a 1 Bedroom Suite. The room has a King, Sofa bed and the views of downtown San Diego from this spacious corner room are so breathtaking.

We asked for towels and it was as if they were delivered before handing up the phone. We noticed what looked like a small crack in the ceiling or the sparkling was noticeable. The front desk dispatched Anthony from Engineering expeditiously. There was not a crack just the spackling. We felt relieved and we also felt that our concerns were quickly mitigated.

The pool was clean and fully stocked with towels. The views are spectacular.

The gym is clean with all of the latest workout equipment. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown and we grabbed yummy ramen! The hotel restaurant was packed with people dining in. Excited to try their food.

This is a very family friendly hotel and the decor is very model and sleek. Love the color palette; comfortable sofa bed too. The amenities are fabulous and we feel safe and comfortable here at this location. We were able to hook up our PlayStation 5 too! We did need Marriott’s tech team to assist and they were wonderful. The room looks exactly as described.

Thank you so much to the entire fantabulous Courtyard by Marriott downtown San Diego Little Italy location for your superb hospitality!

Muito bom, mas barulhento…
Pros:

O hotel é muito bem localizado e super bonito. Todos foram muito simpáticos e educados e tudo funcionou bem.

Cons:

Não tem nada que abafe o som externo nas janelas, e por ter ficado em um quarto de frente para a rodovia, vazava muito barulho, na primeira noite foi mais difícil dormir.
Também achei que o restaurante tem pouca variedade de comidas.

Pros:

Muhteşem kahvaltı. Fakat SERVİS ÇOK YAVAŞ

Cons:

house keeping is a disaster!! The house keeping is VERY SLOW. Two times I requested toilet paper to the room I waiteed for 1 hour. The amenities were terrible. A terrible single ply toilet paper! No shower caps, No cotton buds, No moisturizers, no slippers bo bathrobes.. Even upon asking, they say they do not have them. The manager is so unexperienced and not solution oriented. Constantly apologizing but doing nothing. the ladies at the front desk was nice and friendly and helpful.
The breakfast on the other hand is awesome however the service is too slow. And there was one lady at the restaurant with a constant FAKE GRIN on her face. Ugh!! so unbearable.. This was my second time at the hotel, first time it as Double tree. It was very good back then. will never stay at this hotel again. sorry.
