WiFi never worked even after trying to get the Conceirge to help she said she didn’t know how to get it to work, the coffee shop had such narrow hours? No restaurant, no jacuzzi, asked them to turn on fireplaces in living room area they said they didnt know how to lol. Seemed like not a single staff member worked there more than a day but the rooms were nice.

Liked: Cleanliness
I had a great stay at the Courtyard Marriott. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The customer service really stood out—staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout my stay. The only area that could use improvement is the elevators, which feel a bit outdated and could benefit from an upgrade. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely stay here again.

Room is clean but everything is dated. Old AC unit that they had to look at during out stay, toilet lid and seat stick to each other, wall panel/covering was flapping, and when we notified front desk multiple times, they finally had someone looked at it and "fixed" it with 3 blue painters tape to stop it from flapping around. Parking is $18 per night despite it being an open lot around the hotel anyways. Breakfast is additional charge, they have starbucks located in the lobby. The lobby is also dated, along with their elevators. This is a basic hotel, sad to be called a Marriot. Best Western would have been a more solid choice, plus they give complimentary breakfast.
