My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights after abandoning Humphrey's Half Moon Inn. We did not have a reservation but the staff was friendly and helpful as they rearranged other shorter stays to accomodate us. The room was excellent. It was clean and neat with a king bed. Our room overlooked the pool. Try to get a room away from the highway. The hotel restaurant had an excellent breakfast buffet. The location was great for exploring Old Town and central for the whole city with easy highway connections and it's not too far from the trolley. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised after leaving our original hotel. We would stay hear again without a doubt.

Recently stayed for two nights at the Courtyard... Initially booked into a room overlooking the Freeway - the noise was as if the windows were open. Complained in the middle of the night because I just couldn't sleep. Promised that our room would be changed for a quieter one the following day. This was duly done and the noise reduction was remarkable - just moving from one side of the hallway to the other.

Hotel on the whole was OK for a large chain - expensive for the facilities on offer so just OK

We enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard! We had a problem at the beginning with workmen already staying in our room. The front desk girl forgot to properly check them in so we got a surprise when we opened the door. The asst. mgr. was very apologetic as was the front desk girl. He quickly put us in another room and did not charge us the $15 per day parking fee. We stayed 3 days so we saved $45. The room and bed were very clean and comfortable. The first day we asked to have the room cleaned by 3 pm so we could take a nap and it was cleaned. The second day we forgot to ask and the maid came in just as we got back in the room. She apologized for being late but said she had lots of rooms to clean. She hurriedly cleaned up and gave us a happy new year card and thanked us for our patience. We ate the breakfast buffet all 3 mornings and it was very good! Eggs cooked to order or omelet or scrambled, potatoes, sausage, bacon, fruit, waffles, toast, bagels, oatmeal, yogurt. Parking underneath the hotel was designed for small cars and was cramped. It was difficult parking and getting out. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

What a really nice hotel; can't think of any downsides apart from a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the hall
- 2 minute walk to the Old Town Main Street, a 5/10 minute drive to SeaWorld and 10 minutes to the Gas Lamp.
- Safe street parking around the hotel- no need to valet park, unlike most other hotels in San Diego
- Cameron at reception- great local knowledge.
- Steve in the bar- only works two days a week but should have his own bar instead of working here- worth staying in the hotel bar for the conversation alone.
- great buffet breakfast (fresh fruit, bagels, omlettes, sausages, eggs etc.
- Large clean rooms
- Free coffee and cookies (with real milk)
- Excellent value.

Prior to staying here, I had stayed in town in the Westin Horton Plaza for three nights ($100 dollars more expensive.....a good hotel in its own right but not worth the extra money compared to a hotel where they know your name after a day or so)

We will be back.
