Probably the 30th time we've stayed at the Courtyard over a decade and a half. Will definitely stay again. Not the best of breakfast choices in the hotel, but there are amazing restaurants nearby. Still a terrific location if you want to hang out in Decatur. The conference center isn't bad either. Had a room looking toward the inside hall (as opposed to an outside city-view window. None of the windows are darkened, so it's easy to see inside others' rooms; thus, privacy is limited to a darker room with curtains and a shade drawn. But the bed is great, and the people are always kind.
