Stopped here on our tour of San Diego County in need of a couple of days relaxation for my wife, who was feeling rather poorly. Price was a little higher than our budget, especially as the rate was for "room only", but when we had a look at the rooms and then the courtyard with the two pools, jacuzzis and lounge areas we were sold.
The room on the ground (1st to you Americans) floor was big, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and we had sliding doors which opened onto the pool area, so we were able to sit out in the sun by day and walk into and out of our room easily. In September it is not too crowded, so it was a time for crashing out, which we found pleasantly peaceful and very much needed. We enjoyed the free coffee and cookies by day, and the sinus treatment pills which we bought for $1 at reception were, thank the Lord, very effective before we continued our vacation. There is a conservatory-type restaurant between the pools which serves a splendid buffet and hot breakfast for just $7.50, and this gave us a great start to each day.
We were delighted that we chose to stay here and would certainly go back if in this area again.

A good Courtyard hotel. The staff remembers me when I stay here so that does count for a lot. The hotel could use some updating as it is getting a little old, but the rooms are well kept.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The room was fairly large and comfortable. The balcony overlooking the pool was pleasant.

The bathroom area was small and the shower area was tiny. Not what we would expect for over $200 US. Breakfast was extra (as opposed to the Holiday Inn nearby where it was included in the price.

The music from the restaurant next door was very annoying. Fortunately they stopped playing around 10 PM.

Free internet and free parking was a bonus. There was also a microwave and refrigerator. There was no restaurant in the hotel for lunch or dinner. However, there are several restaurants within walking distance. The Thai restaurant next door was outstanding.

Good hotel, very big spacious rooms with microwave and fridge freezer. Hotel is actualla large circle with half the rooms over-looking the pool. Ground floor rooms open onto the pool area so great if you are using the facilities. Rooms slightly dated but a great location. Would highly recommend.

I chose this hotel because I was visiting friends in La Jolla, and it was about $30/night cheaper than the Courtyard there. It was also about 8 miles farther north along I-5. This was a good decision as it wasn't that far to the hotel (non-traffic time) and the hotel is very near to the beach in Del Mar. As a Platinum Marriott Rewards member, I was upgraded to a King Spa room. The room was clean and spacious. However, the door did open directly to the outside. It appeared that there were rooms that didn't open to the outside, but I was too tired to ask for a different room. If this matters to you, I'd call the hotel to confirm. Hotel staff was very helpful, and the decor and cleanliness are what I'd expect at a Courtyard property. Pool area wasn't large but I was only there for one night so I didn't check it out. The beach access from the property is off of a bluff, but you can walk or drive a short distance to reach a larger beach. Would stay here again.
