A great stay

Our experience at Courtyard was very favorable. The room was very clean, the bed was ok. Initially we had made the reservation over the phone, asking for a balcony and when we went to our room, found that it did not have one. Upon returning to the desk, the situation was remedied quickly. The only other downside came when we returned to our room mid-day to find it still had not been serviced. We were assured that it would be cleaned at our convenience. Later the room was indeed cleaned and restocked. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

• Pros: room appearance, service, location
• Cons: unmade room, initial room mistake

Moderately priced hotel offers a breakfast buffet, in-room work spaces and other amenities for business travelers.

In Short
The first Marriott hotel opened in 1957, and has since expanded to several different brands, with Courtyard serving business travelers. In addition to free daily newspaper delivery, media-equipped meeting rooms and buffet breakfasts in their on-site restaurant, most locations also offer The Market--a 24-hour shop for food and refreshments. Rooms include well-lit work spaces, ergonomic desk chairs, separate sitting areas and free high-speed Internet (participating locations). The front desk offers faxing, copying and printing services.
