10/10 Excellent

"Me Sorprendí cuando enteré más que cuarto de hotel parece un departamento cuenta con refri estufa barrita ssalita para entrar a las camas los divide una pared muy recomendable"

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Carlsbad

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"Staff is wonderful, bed (king) comfy, view of the courtyard pretty. I don’t usually stay in a Marriott so a couple things caught me off guard. 1) paying to park in their lot, and 2) having a Starbucks kiosk instead of a breakfast bar. Room was comparably priced, and actually slightly less than Hampton Inn (Sunday night). Probably won’t stay again though."
