"Expensive, but a very nice, fancy hotel. I would recommend it. I gave it a 4 and not a 5, because at that price you would expect perfect, but it did have a couple non-major flaws: valet assisted us getting our large amount of luggage out of car, but did not offer to take it to our room. He just left it in the lobby and disappeared, before we could tip him. Also a room with 2 queens should have..."

"All-in-all, we had a good experience at this Courtyard. It's close to many thing including the pier. The rooms were good and one of the rooms had a pier view. Beds were firm and everything worked as it should. We didn't spend too much time in the rooms because we came to visit. The only negative I have is that we reserved adjoining rooms but the hotel didn't have any available to us when we got there. They were kind..."

The only drawback was the expensive parking but I think that’s probably standard in that area. Sad to see a lot of..."

"Came from Japan to stay for 6 nights end of last year with family. Good location walking distance from Pier, and other restaurants. Rooms kept clean very spacious. Service in front desk especially Mr. Aaron was very helpful. Definitely to choose here again in our next stay."

"Good location but for the price, the room was lacking. We stayed there two nights, service was average. We asked for 2 pairs ofroom slippers but they only have us one. The water flow in the shower was so low, it was difficult to take a proper shower. Their was no housekeeping and we expected more for a Marriott. There are definitely cheaper options that would provide you with better shower and housekeeping. I would not return to this hotel..."
