The facility was wonderful however the front desk staff was not. We were first told we did not have a room and then had to find someone to help her. Not professional at all! The pool was out of towels I asked the same front desk person for a towel she begrudgingly got one for me but added \"we have a towel shortage\". Front desk staff in need of customer service training both in behavior and appearance!

It was clean and current. The lights around the bathroom mirror reminded me of a hotel in Oslo. It did NOT have a free hot breakfast. I thought all courtyard marriots had that. Good place.

The only reason I gave 4 stars versus 5 was the sewer smell in our bathroom. The room,service, staff and location were excellent. The rooms are modern and well-designed. Staff was kind and informative.

Check in person did not ask about a vehicle, if it was our first stay, talk about the bar area, etc.
The a/c was set to 70 and yet kept changing and the room became hot.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! I paid for the room through Expedia. When I was checking in I was told to put my card in for $20 incidentals. They charged me $310 extra!!! The manager was this horrible person who laughed and smirked at me while I was explaining what happened. So unprofessional and condescending!! They would not refund the charge. I am actually still going through it and seeking legal counsel. The manager was very young and obviously not ready to have this position. It’s so sad such a beautiful property going downhill because of an incompetent manager.

Fire alarm went off early in morning due to kitchen fans not turned on and my card was inactivated while I went out to my car in the am before checkout. Elevators weren’t working for at least 3 hours after fire alarm. Had to take stairs to get my card reactivated and back up again.

Perfect for a weekend stay - room was fantastic - bed was comfy - location was convenient. Would have lived to have breakfast but not a deal breaker for me. Shocked to walk in and see a lil’ hotel bar - that was unique to hotels like this. My only complaint would be the shower - there was no door, the pressure was funny, and I had a hard time figuring out the water temp. I would definitely recommend a stay here and I’m sure I will be back.

Had some issues upon getting to our room that was corrected quickly with a room switch. It was a one night stay. The next morning before check out, I discovered the body wash dispenser was empty while showering so that was frustrating. Quiet hotel in a convenient location with mostly friendly staff. Average stay.

Not a great experience, started with a dirty towel hung in our bathroom. Went to take a shower and the lever to run the water completely fell off. Then our room was overwhelmed by the smell of sewer gas and had to change rooms. So not a lot of good things to say.

Rooms dirty. Mold in AC unit. I reported a wet carpet and was ignored. Came back from a day out and our room was not serviced. Called downstairs and was asked of I requested my room be serviced. I asked why and was told policy since covid. Another hotel using covid as an excuse to save a penny not servicing rooms but still charging top rates. Avoid this hotel if you like a clean room.

It is pretty new property and very good stay. Clean and nice place. Only issue was we booked 2 rooms and they put us on 2 different floors.? All booked by one person and under one name yet they could not put us on the same floor. when I asked us to move to the same floor they gave me all kind of excuses. I rather blame Expedia for this.

The bathroom door didn’t quite clear the floor. My husband just had back surgery, and I have arthritis. We had to shove the door to open and close it. Came back from a funeral service at 5:00 to find room hadn’t been cleaned. Asked at front desk and was told staff left at 3:00. Also, if we wanted clean towels we would have to get them from the front desk instead of delivering them to our room. I couldn’t open the shampoo to pump it out and finally had to pull the bottle off the wall. The pump wouldn’t turn to open, and I managed to twist off the pump and pour out shampoo. Upon checkout, the woman at the front desk didn’t acknowledge me at all. I stood in front of her and waited for her to stop using the computer, but she didn’t even glance up. I finally set the key cards on the counter and left. Positives: very nice man at the desk on Saturday evening. Liked the room set up and cleanliness.
