"Great Hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy

10/10 Excellent

"The area surrounding this hotel was amazing. Saturday farmers market was really nice and the amount of places for eating and shopping within walking distance was great!! The only thing I would warn other about is the parking garage is made for compact cars and the cost was a little much but they have cheaper parking across the street that was much easier for us with a larger vehicle. All in all we had a beautiful trip and the stay was fantastic!!!!"
