Great hotel, 9 year old loved the pool with the splash area, made the stay. The bathroom shower in the room was really nice also. There must have been some kind of allergen in the room because it seemed like allergies kicked in when we were in the room for any extended period.

Front desk was super nice, while property was “clean” you can tell it was older hotel with thick layers of repainted paint on the walls to cover up whatever wall stains or to appear nice. I noticed old furniture wit stains around the elevators old rugs in bedrooms.. stained tubs overall just needs a bit of renovations and some TLC. Lobby was nice. Pool area nice. food from bar edible. The hotel served its purpose which was to sleep. There was a one night loud crowd came through and was loud in the halls talking and what not. Good location..Close to restaurants, parks, stores but unfortunately I would not stay again.

My stay at Courtyard by Marriott Orlando Lake Buena Vista at Vista Centre felt like a 3-star experience, not 4.

The lobby looks fine and staff is friendly, but costs are not transparent. Booking through Expedia did not disclose a required deposit, so you’re surprised at check-in. Parking is $20/day, which does not match the area and should be included.

The Starbucks café is limited, overpriced, and lacks real quality or variety.

The main issue is the bathroom. The bathtub fills with water while showering, covering your feet, with slow drainage and visible residue (including plastic-like particles). This raises clear hygiene concerns. The sink soap leaves a sticky film on your hands.
For a property under Marriott, these issues show a clear gap in maintenance, cleanliness, and overall value.

I was here for my daughter’s birthday with my husband and family. We had a suite and had one tiny trash can which they only came to empty once and we were there for 3 days. No house keeping came to add more to towels until the day we before we left. And if you have a room infront of the pool you will hear kids playing all night in there. I have a young daughter and we saw a bug in our room and I was told someone would contact me but they never did and we paid over $600.

I paid for a room and was given another room because they were overbooked. Was told that the reservation was made with a third party and they couldn’t do anything about it. I was charged the amount for the other room anyways. When arrived at the room, the room was dirty, it even had a pair of shoes left from the last guests. The refrigerator was filthy. It seems that yogurt spilled and they had left it for days. We arrived at 11:30 p.m. and had no energy to even go and say something at that moment. The next morning, the person in the front desk was rude, not empathetic at all, he had an attitude. Thank God that the stay was only for one night. The employees need to have better communication and inform their guests if there is a change or if something that occurred should be fixed.

We stayed at this property for our Disneyworld Vacation. The things that made me pick this property at first were the pictures looked amazing, the price was great and Shuttles to the park were provided (or so we thought). The property uses a a shuttle service called Platinum Transportation and they ONLY pick up and drop off from two of the 4 Parks. Epcot & Hollywood studios. This made it so hard. We went to Magic Kingdom on our first day and got there late due to the pick up time for the shuttle being after the park opened, We had to get dropped off at Epcot then take the shuttle and boat to get to Magic Kingdome. We stayed to watch the fireworks. Shuttle pick up time was at 10:30 the latest. We had to take the same route back to epcot and missed the shuttle by 2 min. THEY WILL NOT WAIT for you or even give a grace period for you to make it on time. So basically you have to cut your time at the parks in order to make it for the shuttle or get your own Uber back to the hotel which then defeats the purpose. When this was brought up to the hotel staff they made it clear that it was not their problem and we would need to call the transportation company directly. This made me not want to stay at this property again. The room we got looks like it was a older room. Almost all of the outlets did not work. We had to constantly watch our stuff to make sure that it was actually charging.

We had a very disappointing experience during our recent stay at the Marriott Courtyard. Unfortunately, several issues made our visit extremely uncomfortable.
On our first night, our key card did not work when we returned to the hotel. We were locked out of our room and had to stay outside with our infant for about an hour before the issue was resolved. This was very stressful and unacceptable, especially while traveling with an infant.
The room itself was also in poor condition. The sofa bed was completely flat and unusable for sleeping. The throw pillows looked dirty and disgusting, making the space feel unhygienic. To make matters worse, the mattress had saggy springs and some of the springs seemed to be coming through, making it very uncomfortable and concerning from a safety standpoint.we asked for replacement but no available.
Overall, the condition of the room and the inconvenience we experienced made this stay extremely frustrating. I expected much better standards from Marriott Courtyard. I hope management takes these issues seriously and improves both the maintenance of their rooms and the service provided to guests.

It wasn’t bad. But the room smelled a little like smoke and old room. Our room was really far away from the main pool. The door to get into our building was really hard to open especially when we have our son in a wheelchair so it was hard to open and push or pull the door. It would just keep getting stuck. We did love that housekeeping was very in point doing our beds every night and bringing extra towels every day.

Check in was great, she was very friendly and professional. Would try the place again just because of her. The room was not great. The front door didn't open easily, thought we had the wrong room at first. Towels had stains on them and didn't seem clean. Tile floor was dirty and shower drain wasn't connected properly. None of the USB charging ports worked so couldn't charge my phone and the coffee machine smelled like cleaner when trying to make coffee in the morning

When we first entered the room it had a very odd smell, like a wet, moist stench that wouldn't go away even after spraying and airing out the room. My Gf and I also got some bug bites on our legs after our nights rest. The room itself was presentable and clean so it was not terrible but definitely will not be making another reservation in the future.

I would give 4 stars as the quality, cleanliness, and various options of this Hotel makes it a bit more than decent. However, I would like to mention, they make you pay a $20 a night overnight parking fee if you happen to drive to the hotel. I found it to be a very tasteless and tackey fee to add on after being so reasonably priced on front end.
