“Downtown San Diego's Courtyard, stink”
Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown is a clean, comfortable downtown hotel — ten minutes' straight-line walk to the convention centre, a 7-Eleven and pharmacy beside, new quality plumbing, comfortable beds, tasty breakfasts and evening cocktails, and an efficient cooperative desk; families find it central to tourist spots. Two honest notes: homeless people are present in the ageing surroundings, and a seven-night guest called a bathroom sewage smell overwhelming — it reached the bed.
