The service was excellent. The hotel itself is clean and well kept. My only complaint is the road noise from the nearby highway. It was quite loud. Good experience though and I would gladly go back if needed in future. I might request the other side of the building though.

Very nice stay the hotel the staff was very friendly and helpful with my needs. The room was clean. Had the pleasure to meet Joseph the front desk supervisor very pleasant and addressed any concerns that I had in a timely manner. I will definitely be back for another stay. And might I say being able to walk out my room and have a cup of Starbucks what a treat.

There was no hand soap by the sink in the bathroom. The light fixture and outlet on the left side of the bed didn't work. We liked the free hot chocolate and Starbuck counter in the lobby. The bed was comfortable and the HVAC system worked well.

4 day stay but no room service. Had to knock on laundry room to get fresh towels. Rm 147... Bathtub slow drain. Ok if you like standing in soapy water. Why do nearly ALL hotels screw these basics up?? A nice stay otherwise.

I've stayed at many Courtyard by Marriotts. Cheaper, less amenities, but consistently modern and clean. This one is showing its age. The carpet in the hallways and stairwells were dirty and stained. Walls were marred. Lobby tables had food crumbs, stains that remained from morning to afternoon. Room door did not latch firmly - lots of play back and forth when the door was shut and locked - enough so that you could see into the hallway. Front desk staff was great - smiling and very helpful with local questions, etc. I would stay here again if I needed a bed myself, but not up to my spouse's standard.
