“Good stay. Friendly staff.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

We just came back from a 2-night stay. The room was clean. Free parking. Free wifi. And our booking included breakfast for 2 (we did have to pay $6.44 for my 5 year old daughter). I liked their breakfast especially their omelette. The staff was friendly. The only complain was that the wall was thin. It's annoying when you want to sleep but then you hear people talking next door.

“Good place to stay for business travel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Stayed here for a week for business. Nice clean with large bathrooms, decent if small workout space, send out and self-serve laundry available, love the new Marriott snack shop (excellent when sharing a car with others from work and you can't just pop out for a snack.)

The breakfast bar was good but as noted by others, not free. Overall the staff was great except the two who served drinks and brought the checks for the breakfast bar. They were inattentive and slow moving - they even let the coffee run out one morning!

“Old Courtyard”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Nice place, but needs an overhaul badly... the main thing is that the beds are not up to a normal Marriott's standards... the location is near a fairly large business area, but also on the Lego Land exit... about 3 miles off the highway... not a bad place to stay, but not great either.

“Great Hotel with Great Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Recently stayed here for three nights and was extremely happy with this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and had a nice view of the pool. There was complimentary coffee, tea, and fruit in the lobby that was convenient for us to grab as we came and went. The staff truly was great as we were there for the recent blackout. We arrived to the hotel and the lights still had not come back on, we were met in the lobby by a friendly staff member who offered us a sandwich and had someone escort us to our room with a flashlight. Luckily as we climbed the stairs to get to our room the lights came back on. They made what could've been a bad situation a memorable one in a positive way. You won't be disappointed if you choose this place.

“The continental breakfast is NOT free”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

Typical hotel with square non-resort style pool and acceptable rooms, however shower water temperature ranged from burning hot to freezing cold, however the worst part is seeing the continental breakfast, sitting down to eat after serving ourselves, and finding out that the charge was $11.95/adult, $5.95/kids. Supposedly we were to be told this at check in, but we were not. When was the last time you were in a hotel of this caliber and breakfast was NOT complimentary. Coffee was free, though. Fitness room includes 4 machines, no free weights.
