Overall stay was nice. I had two issues first one was when checking in nighttime clerk was not at the desk. After waiting for approximately five minutes, had to call to inform the clerk I was outside, trying to check in. Also blanket was dirty, but the housekeeping came in resolve my issue. The location of the hotel is very ideal. Lots of eateries and things to do nearby. Would come back and stay again.

It is in a very convenient area with lots of attractive restaurant/dining options within walking disrance. Unfortunately, the hotel uses way too many plastic products and does not provide any recycling options- they could do MUCH better in this regard! Also, the room had only one chair for 4 visitors. We often had nowhere to sit!

Overall the Courtyard Marriott was very nice. Although there was parking, it was run by the city. I was not aware of the costs associated with parking; however it was only $12 a day. Since our care was an SUV, the spaces were fairly tight. That was the only negative about the property.

The clerk that checked me in was very personable & caring. I asked for housekeeping everyday we were there. They were terrible. Our sheets weren’t changed in the 5 nights we were there. My bed wasn’t ever fully made, the other one was just thrown together 2 days in a row. The bathroom was never cleaned & towels one morning weren’t fully replaced nor the bag in the ice bucket. I had to get them from the front desk. Very disappointed in this Marriott. I could have saved a ton of money staying in a motel 8 with the same treatment I got from this Marriott.
