Easy in and easy out...updated rooms, great TV set up great work space and great shower/bathroom. Desk rep anticipated the need for my colleague and I to be across the hall from each other LOVE. Not so great...add free water to the room.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at Marriot Courtyard El Cajon and it was great... again. The whole hotel is extremely clean and well maintained. The property is modern and beautifully decorated. The bar/restaurant is excellent and the staff is super-friendly and attentive. The location is great with lots of dining options nearby. We'll definitely book again when we're in the area.

Wedding weekend stay
We originally booked a suite, but it was not ready when we arrived so to accommodate us, they gave us two separate rooms and comped one of them for the two nights. It worked out fine. Mom and dad were in a room and our sons were in the other room. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. Marriott Courtyard is our go to hotel when we’re in East County San Diego

I liked this property; the staff and location are great. The only thing I would change is having to pay for parking. This should be included with the stay, and this hotel is not a MOTEL but a luxury property.

We had booked a King Size bed, we ended up with a room with two Queens. Was not really happy about that. Coffee in the room was kind of sparce. They asked for a CC for incentives, but there was no water or other items in the fridge? Not sure why I had to provide my card. Overall it was a good stay. Slept well, was quiet, no usual noise overheard from other rooms such as TV, talk or shower/bathroom noise. Jolanda
