Negative Reviews
negative:
Choose rooms according to needs.
It is advisable to choose rooms according to needs as well as agenda. Some rooms are fairly small while others are quite close to the lobby and outside area which can make them more susceptible to noise from events lie weddings and parties. These rooms would not be suitable for business travelers or light sleepers.
negative:
Pay extra for breakfast.
Courtyard by Marriott hotels typically do not include a free breakfast along with the standard room rate. The onsite American bistro does serve breakfast options and the onsite Starbucks also serves light breakfast options but these are separate from room rate charges.
negative:
Nearby highway noise could be a problem.
The hotel property is very close to the local highway and it is possible to both see and hear it from some of the rooms. Avoid these rooms if a full nigh of uninterrupted sleep is of critical importance.
