We stayed for 5 nights. Overall I thought it was a good stay for my family. For the price and the area, I probably would stay again, but I would really consider other options next time before I book here again. Their laundry washer and dryer did not clean very well. We made sure not to overload as it instructed, but the clothes did not very clean and it took a couple cycles to dry. A couple other minor things, the AC unit had a small puddle in the carpet underneath it, and the drawers to their dresser units did not stay closed (probably installed improperly). Lastly the bathroom had a slight sewage smell to it. The beds were comfortable, the room seemed pretty clean, pillows were good, and the room was pretty quiet from outside noise..

Unique to this Marriott Courtyard hotel property was the highly professional and friendly staff in ALL areas of service! I will stay here the next time that I am visiting family in San Diego/ El Cajon, and have already referred this hotel to other family members.

Very nice hotel, clean and safe. Good location. Issue 1) upon checking in we were told our package included breakfast. Went to breakfast with my kids and was told no it didn't. Issue 2) we had a studio room above the lobby. We could here to front door opening and slamming ALL NIGHT, and it woke us up more than once. Issue 3) the people above us were doing cannon balls onto the floor all day and night. I called front desk. No change. So we all slept very poorly the 3 nights we were there.

Cleanliness 10/10, comfort & space of the room 10/10, gym 10/10, staff members 8/10. Overall great stay for my family & I. Highly suggest having more chargers for electric cars as it was a bit challenging for us to charge ours with a limited amount but other than that, it was a nice hotel for a weekend getaway.
