What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Del Mar/Solana Beach, travellers praise the convenient beachside location and friendly staff, while noting the property feels dated, with inconsistent mattresses, some maintenance issues, and occasional noise from neighboring rooms or outside areas.

Guests like the pool and hot tub areas, though the pool shows its age, and parking is convenient but carries a nightly fee. Many find rooms spacious or offering two king beds, but others encounter outdated fixtures, small bathrooms, or unreliable in‑room internet. Cleanliness is usually solid, though a few reports cite ants or other lapses, and the on‑site bistro/Starbucks draws mixed feedback for limited hours and value. Overall, expect a practical beach stay with clear strengths and trade‑offs.

Staff was helpful and courteous. Room was a bit dated and the mini fridge smelled moldy and didn't quite keep stuff cold enough. But the value, location and nice pool patio / hot tub made up for it. Hotel parking is $29 / night but when I looked exasperated, the front desk person informed me of the free & plentiful parking behind the hotel, arguably closer to our room than the hotel garage! Appreciated the on-site laundry even if it was $2 (all in quarters) for each washer and each dryer cycle. Detergent sold at front desk, on the other side of the hotel from the laundry but thankfully the laundry itself was near my room.

We were there for the night as we hiked the Torrey Pines trails that day and on our way to San Diego. Great location and walkable to a secluded beach which we walked the next morning. Hotel was great overall. Internet, pool, dining option, easy check in and parking garage. Added bonus to the Thai restaurant and convenient store in shopping complex next to hotel. Definitely would stay here again.

The staff were attentive and polite and the room was clean. It was nice staying near the pool and hot tub and fireplace. We enjoyed all of those features. The pool could use some maintenance it’s just showing its age. Our only complaint really was the mattress. It needed to be replaced. It was very creaky and very very lumpy. To be fair we didn’t complain to the staff because we liked the location of our room near the hot tub. They may have done something about it had they been told. It’s time for new mattresses.

We liked it because we were near our Family. There were some negative things: the internet was totally out for two days; they ran out of coffee for our room. These were both very needed amenities. The parking was okay, but the price had gone up to $23/day. There was parking along the side wall. Should have searched for it before we paid. The staff was excellent! The Bistro had good food. Solana Beach was very nice.

I was there with my family for a weekend. Cleanliness was very good. People were nice. But the hotel rooms( beds, mattresses) were terrible. Asked to change a room because of uncomfortable mattresses but still the mattresses were the same. Felt like I sleeping on a sinking boat. The breakfast bar didn’t offer many options and the croissants weren’t fresh.

Our check in experience was terrible. We were accused of not paying for our room through Expedia and presenting a credit card that declined which was untrue. The front desk clerk was argumentative and accusatory. Insisted that we present a credit card to recharge nightly room rate. Not trained well and made us feel awful. Too bad the front desk clerk Melissa was not working when we checked in. Ants in our first room all over the bathroom and wet bar area. Moved to a different room that still had an ant problem, but not as bad.

The room was large, clean, and the hotel convenient for our activities. Paid parking was convenient, and the hotel is within walking distance to Solana Beach. On the negative side: the bed was uncomfortable, little drawer space for storing clothing, the handicapped bathroom only had grab bars but still required guest to step over a standard tub to ente.Floor was uncarpeted, insufficient room lighting, and it took two days and a reminder to get an additional blanket after requested at the front desk.

WiFi did not work in the room. Instead of resolving the problem with their router, the staff put me on the phone with the Marriott technical service department, which left me on hold for 10 minutes, and then said that they needed to contact the building engineer. In any event, the problem was never resolved during my three day stay. The bed was unstable and tipped up when two people sat on the foot of the bed. Overall, this is a very average hotel.

I reserved and was charged $357 for room reserved a month in advance. When I went to front desk to check in, I was told they didn’t have any more rooms available. I arrived at 6pm. They sold my room to someone else. They claimed they had “just told Expedia, but I never got any notice”. My credit card had been charged a couple days prior to arrival.

The woman at the front desk was so helpful, helping us with an early check in into a room that accounted for a diability but was still close to exits, coffee and the pool. The hotel is located across the street from the beach and right on PCH. We did not have a car and didn't need one for our 4 day trip.

We had a small issue with the bedding at the beginning of our three nights day... After the betting was promptly changed, we had a lovely stay. Although they have a bistro, the hours are extremely limited and it would have been nice to be able to have lunch by the pool. The only thing in the room that would have been helpful is to have a small table by the couch... But overall the room was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

It was a basically good room. The staff were very efficient and friendly. The light fixture under the TV needs to be repaired. Also, the smaller desk light did not work at all. The bistro was good for breakfast. The instant oatmeal should be made with more hot water. If the cook were paid more, perhaps you would have a cook on staff every day. We liked that the Bistro staff has health insurance. Street level parking would be an improvement.
