Courtyard by Marriott La Paz Baja California Sur
Courtyard by Marriott La Paz Baja California Sur"Great customer service from arrival to departure. Thank you, Luis!"
"The Hotel was cleanish. The AC worked great in the room but the room super small and had no refrigerator, microwave, safe or even a closet. Pool area was nice with access to beach next door. I would have given a better review if it had at least 2 of the items I mentioned above. AC in the lobby did also work. Breakfast was so so."
