We travel every year to Southern California for a family trip, and I saw all the great reviews on Trip Advisor for this hotel, and decided to give them a try. SO GLAD I DID! From the moment we checked in, to the moment we checked out..it was great. The property is so clean, fresh and new. The pool is wonderful..the bar is great. Breakfast in the morning is perfect. The waitress even remembered after the first day there I like ice in my orange juice. We stayed in a one bedroom suite, and it was the biggest suite for our money we have ever gotten. We WILL be staying here again. I was a little concerned about being so close to the airport, but once we were inside our room, I didn't hear a single airplane. Well done..thank you Marriott Airport/Liberty Station!

We stayed at this hotel for one night when we had a 24 hour layover in San Diego. The property and rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, attentive and responsive and you can't beat the freebies like complimentary wi-fi. However, travelers are at a great disadvantage staying at this hotel unless they have their own transportation. There are restaurants within walking distance (nothing spectacular) but no direct access to local attractions unless you take a taxi. There was a shuttle to the Trolley tour from Homewood Suites next door but it only had one scheduled pick-up and return each day.

Stayed two nights as a stop-over to break up a Maui to Chicago travel. Had a one bedroom suite, which was a really nice space - lots of room (a little pricy at $200 plus taxes), and very comfortable.

We had a flight that arrived around 10:30 pm. We called the hotel for the free shuttle and it was there in less than 10 minutes - nice service.

Breakfast was good. You can order from the menu or the buffet. We had the cold buffet, which was fine - nothing special, but adequate ($10.50). Service was friendly and attentive.

On Friday we took a taxi to Old Town San Diego to catch the Coaster commuter train to Oceanside. The train ride was smooth and enjoyable. Spent several hours walking the pier and beachfront sidewalks, had a nice oceanfront lunch and then the return train. Carlsbad Village also looked like it would be a nice shopping stop. Coaster was $11.00 round trip ($5.50 seniors). Taxi from Courtyard to Old Town was $13.00, but the return driver took a route past the airport for $21.50!

Overall a nice hotel, with friendly staff in a good location.

Stayed here with the family on a Zoo/Sea World getaway. The location is at the same place I went to boot camp in the 1980's and was amazed at how much this location has changed over the years. The hotel sits on a water inlet from San Diego Bay and offers some serene water views and open spaces adjacent to the hotel. The hotel is updated and fresh with plenty of outdoor seating for drinking, talking and enjoying the views. We had the 2 queen bed/water view room and it was spacious and modern. The only gripe was that nearly all of the view rooms overlook the pool. So noise and nighttime pool shenanigans kept us up a bit. You also are in very close proximity to the airport and hear jets taking off, but nothing too obstrusive. Another bonus is that adjacent to the property there are many good restaurants within walking distance. Morning breakfast at the hotel was very good and a good value. I would definitely stay here again for the convenience and price.
