Shhhhh . . . don't tell, but this is a GREAT place to stay!
After traveling to SD for years and never quite finding the best location to stay for a reasonable price, we finally found the Courtyard by Marriott - Liberty Station. The room was a typical "Courtyard" room with the basic amenities and reliable daily maid service. The pool was a great place to "hang" since it was quiet and not crowded at all. There was a park across the street with plenty of space for the children to play basketball and throw the football. With the small in-room fridge we were able to store all of the fruit and water from the nearby Trader Joes. Mostly, we were impressed with the great location . . . we had easy access to everything! From the SD Zoo to Brockton Villa in La Jolla . . . we had no issues with getting to places without a lot of traffic. As mentioned in other reviews, we were a little concerned that there would be airplane noise since the hotel is "in the flight pattern," however, the A/C makes the room a quiet oasis. And, let's face it . . . one doesn't travel to SD to sit in a hotel room . . . the outdoors awaits!
