The 200-room, three-pearl Courtyard by Marriott San Diego
Airport/Liberty Station has a name that suggests it’s merely an airport hotel, but there's more on offer. Yes, the airport is only four minutes away, but it’s also adjacent to a waterfront park
with walking trails leading to nearby restaurants. Both the pool and outdoor lounge spaces make the most of this waterfront view. Rooms have attractive decor and up-to-date amenities like iHome docking stations. Overall, it’s a lovely hotel that’s
perfectly suitable for both vacationing families and business travelers. Rates are competitive, but there's plenty of comparable hotels in the area including the Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Airport - Liberty Station.

Scene
A lovely waterfront hotel in a relaxed tropical setting
An attractive, open lobby awaits arriving guests with white and
beige marble tile leading to a dark wood front desk illuminated by a modern
circular chandelier. Several comfortable seating areas with rich blue
upholstered chairs and wood tables are adjacent, as is the lounge area with a
black granite, curved bar and clusters of blue and black chairs around wood tables. Blue, orange, and brown patterned carpet adds color, as does the
bright, impressionist-style art mounted on walls throughout the lobby. Nearby are
the breakfast buffet area and deli with sandwiches and more seating. Just
outside the deli is a lovely terrace with umbrella tables overlooking the
park’s manicured lawns, trails, and waterfront benches. A gas fire pit with lounge-style seating also faces the park. All in all, it’s a lovely, relaxed tropical setting that feels worlds
away from the busy airport nearby.
Location
Near the airport, adjacent to a waterfront park and a brief walk to several restaurants
The Courtyard enjoys an enviable waterfront location that’s
only a four-minute shuttle ride from the airport, yet it abuts a 46-acre park with
scenic walk and bike trails along a boat channel that runs into San Diego Bay.
It’s part of the mixed-use Liberty Station complex that was once a naval
training center but now has offices, hotels, restaurants and retail shops.
Several restaurants are a brief two- to three-minute walk, while others are a
half-mile away, about a 10-minute walk. Mission Beach, San Diego Convention
Center, Balboa Park, and downtown Gaslamp District are all within a 10- to 15-minute
drive, depending on traffic.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with rich decor, iHome docking stations, and media plug-ins
Rooms are offered in various combinations and sizes
including Kings with pull-out sofa beds (300 square feet), Two Queens (350
square feet), and two-room King Suites with sofa beds (500 square feet). Select
premium rooms include microwaves, but most rooms don’t. Rooms with water/park
views and small balconies generally cost more than rooms with parking lot views
and no balcony. All rooms are clean and feature rich, warm decor highlighted by
reddish-brown wood headboards and matching furniture, red-and gold-patterned accent walls, and solid gold and red textiles and wallpaper elsewhere. Spacious layouts give enough room for couches and coffee tables, dresser/work desk combos, and ergonomic office chairs. Flat-screen TVs and one-cup coffeemakers are standard, as are iHome docking station, two-line
speakerphone with voice mail, desk media plug-in. Bathrooms are similarly spacious, though the shower curtains and granite vanities bring down the elegance a touch. But large wall mirrors, toiletries, and shower/tub
combos provide all the necessities. The Two-Room Suite has the vanity outside the bathroom as well as a
sink, dishwasher, and separate living room.
Features
Free parking and airport shuttle, outdoor pool and whirlpool, and on-site restaurant and lounge
Free parking is offered, and a free airport shuttle runs

is available daily but not included in standard room rates. An on-site deli offers
Starbucks coffee, breakfast items and sandwiches, and dinner entrees are served
in the restaurant and lounge. A market-style convenience store has an ATM,
drinks, and microwaveable frozen entrees. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the
hotel. The front desk has a safe deposit box. Self-service laundry facilities
are on-site, and dry cleaning and laundry services are also available. The Courtyard
has 4,590 square feet of meeting space. The fitness center has several cardio
machines and free weights, and the lobby's business center has two

adjacent park, and bike rentals help guests to explore the
area. Stand-up paddle boards also can be rented just outside the hotel.
