It was really nice and quiet. I never like when there is no vent to turn on for the restroom, no air circulates after someone uses it. But everything was clean and pleasant.
First time staying here and absolutely loved it. The staff was so nice and the rooms were super comfortable and quiet. Room was clean and no outside noise. Would definitely book again.
My room was fantastic! It was clean and the staff was courteous. They had an excellent breakfast buffet to satisfy all taste. It was close to the event that the family was there to attend.
Close shopping area, great and comfortable bedding.

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 The only area that could use improvement is the elevators, which feel a bit outdated and could benefit from an upgrade.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.
The staff was not very welcoming, the room was clean except the glasses all had a disgusting mildew smell which tells me they are not being cleaned, the bed was comfortable. Overall our stay was just fine. We picked it for its proximity to our plans for the night. Would not be likely stay again.
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.
