You don't seem to get a lot of 'hotel' for your money in San Juan, so based on that fact this hotel is OK for a one-night stay. We stayed here the night prior to our cruise - it was just a 5 minute ride to the port - very handy but it still cost $17 based on the taxi fare zones.

The room was adequate, not somewhere though that I would wish to spend a long period of time in. Get a room as far away from the elevator if possible, unless you like to hear the sound of it riding up and down all night long!

A big plus is the great French restaurant in the hotel - very nice food and superb service, not too rushed and not too slow either - just right. Many people eat late in Puerto Rico, so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table at 9.30 p.m. if you're travelling during a busy period book a table in advance.

I wouldn't opt to stay here again, rather I would go to the Sheraton or one of the hotels in Old San Juan, but overall it did the job of providing a safe, clean hotel room for the night.

We stayed at Coutyard Isla Verde for 2 and a half days (17 to 19/ Feb). We had a great time. Very nice, kind and helpfull staff. We had nice beach bar service and "Axel" was our barman.
The beach is nice, but not as beatifull as other beaches in the Caribbean area. The weather was great, what made our stay very pleasure!
The room is very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is ok.
Nice breakfast, but it´s extra.

We stayed in the Courtyard Miramamr for one night before we went on a cruise.
Taxi shuttle from the airport was about 10 minutes and was 20 Dollars for the 4 of us.
Appearance of the lobby was very nice, staff efficient and helpful.

We booked non-smoking rooms with two double beds, they were correctly provided. Rooms were completely clean. They skipped minibars, but you can go to a little room next to lobby and get everything you need, they charge it right to your room.

Location was very nice, right in a green neighbourhood, we had a little walk the next moning, nothing special to see but in 2 minutes you are at a Jogging patg next to the water.
The pool is not big but nice to have a morning swim. Continental breakfast is included in the small, french restaurant, very basis but if you pay extra you get everything you want.

Summarizing: This hotek was perfect for a pre-cruise stay. If you take in mind that this is a Courtyard, not a Marriott and this is a city hotel - not a beach resort - designed for short stays - you will be perfectly satisfied.

We stayed at hotel for three nights before our cruise. It is in a residential/commercial neighborhood, not at all suitable for walking. Bus to Old San Juan, the art museum and Isla Verde was very close. Cabs were plentiful. Grocery about a half block away. There are 2 restaurants in the hotel, one purported to be among the best in San Juan; based on the prices, it could have been, but we didn't eat there. We did eat breakfast at the french restuarant - it was okay, but menu selections were limited. This hotel was previously known as the Excelsior - two cab drivers didn't know it had changed to a Marriott. The pool is very small and perpetually in the shade - we didn't see anyone use it in the three days we were there. Rooms are quite small, among the smallest we've ever experienced in the Marriott chain. Staff was pleasant, friendly, helpful. Elevator stopped working for a day - stuff happens! Booked it because of moderate cost but we would not stay there again - rooms too small, location too far away from tourist activities.
