Room was in a good condition, staff was friendly, noisy neighbor with loud TV sound. Maybe TV sound should be regulated to a maximum volume that next door neighbor would not be able to hear.

The room and the property was very nice! Parking was easy and the freeway is conveniently located close by. The staff was kind. I breakfast and coffee was simple but delicious. It appears they filled in the hot tub so i was disappointed about that. The wifi was fast and free. They offered upgraded wifi for video calls but i found that the free wifi was plenty fast for that. I got a balcony room and it was light, bright, and clean. Overall pretty perfect stay. My only complaint would be the elevators and elevator lobby are fairly run down and janky but the rest of the property is nice.

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.

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 The only area that could use improvement is the elevators, which feel a bit outdated and could benefit from an upgrade.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.
