The Courtyard by Marriott in the Gaslamp Quarter offered a vibrant atmosphere with its stylish decor, though my room felt a bit on the smaller side. The location is perfect for accessing local nightlife and attractions, but I noticed some noise from the nearby nightclub during my stay. Overall, the service was really good, especially from the staff, but I found the valet parking fees to be quite high for my budget.

The executive king room had modern decor and a nice bay view, though it was smaller than I expected. The bathroom setup with a glass shower only could be an issue if you're sharing.

I had a nice stay overall at Courtyard By Marriott San Diego Gaslamp/Convention Center. The location was fantastic, being so close to Petco Park and lots of great dining options. I found my room to be clean and comfy, though a bit small for more than two people. One hiccup was that I didn't have a kettle in the room. However, the rooftop bar, The Nolen, was a highlight with its great atmosphere.

I stayed in a King Room which was clean and nice but quite small, especially with just the bed taking up most space. A kettle would have been a great addition for coffee or snacks.

My stay at the Courtyard By Marriott San Diego Gaslamp/Convention Center was enjoyable, thanks to its fantastic location and the excellent service from the staff. However, the room was quite cramped, making it a bit challenging for two people to navigate comfortably. The rooftop venue added a fun element to my stay, but I did notice some issues with water pressure in the bathroom sink, which could use improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the Courtyard By Marriott San Diego Gaslamp/Convention Center. The cleanliness and modern design of the hotel were impressive, and the location in the Gaslamp District made it easy to explore local attractions.

The hotel’s location is a huge plus, right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter with countless dining and entertainment options just a short walk away. I felt safe roaming the area, even at night.
