“Courtyard San Diego Central focuses on what matters: a solid outdoor pool, a bar emphasizing local brews, and revamped spaces that lean toward comfort. I like that it's geared toward both business and family travelers, even providing meeting space and bicycle rentals. Its position is convenient for hitting the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld, but a car feels essential.”
