The Bad

• Considerations

Courtyard Marriott is generally well-liked with some considerations offered for first-time guests to know. These considerations include:

• There is free WiFi, although currently guests have to register for paid minimum WiFi and then the charge is deleted on their bill).
• the in-house Bistro closes at 10:00 pm which forces patrons to go elsewhere for any after concert drink and conversation.
• It was disappointing that there is no complimentary breakfast included with the stay - especially for the price of the room.
• Price was ok but after all the taxes, fees and parking it doesn't seem much like a bargain.
• Bathrooms are small

Also to be noted is that promoted amenities are typical at most United States hotels but not guaranteed. Additionally, amenities will vary at International locations.

The Bottom Line

Courtyard  Marriott is a comfortable place to stay. It is in a good location close to restaurants and attractions with most of the expected conveniences. There's a nice indoor pool and gym, and an unexciting but pleasant in-house restaurant. The highlight is its business area amenities, flexible food service choices and Starbucks coffee.
