It's just like every other Marriott (ya been in one, ya been in 'em all). However, the standout to this hotel was the wonderful lobby. Very hip and cool, almost wannabe-W Hotel. We liked it very much. The lobby was a nice place to hang out when waiting for our party. They also have computers/printers set up so that you can print your boarding pass and check email.

The breakfast was good and they serve Starbucks in the lobby. Also, if you forgot any toiletries, they sell them in the...you guessed it! The lobby! Yes, the lobby is the place to be at the Courtyard Marriott.

Location - this is just off the 405 freeway and right on the corner of the street so you might blow right by it. It's next to the Residence Inn.

Ample and free parking (awesome). I'm not sure if they had free WiFi or not as we didn't use.

I only stayed here one night and it was good. There were some serious parties going on but we didn't mind at all. Rooms are a bit on the tiny side (compared to most Marriott rooms), as is the bathroom, but it was okay.

The rooms were ok, but when you book through Marriot's website and you open all the pop-up windows and read all the details about this and that, hidden in the last paragraph of the last pop-up is the $100 pet fee. They never tell you this. You'll find it on you credit card bill 2 days later. $100 for a 7 pound Chihuahua to spend the night. Never again.

This was the worst Marriott I have ever stayed at. We could hear the ice machine banging out cubes while we were trying to sleep. People were yelling in the hallway at 5:30 in the morning. Our room, # 130, was too warm. When we turned on the air it sounded like we were operating heavy machinery-in our room- and though everyone else seemed to be okay with making a lot of noise in the middle of the night, we could not in good conscience run the air while it made such a racket. Finally, you do not serve breakfast which we understood, but you did boast that you have internet in the rooms. Not so, we could not get a connection to save our lives. All in all I'd give this stay a D. There were several hotels around Morton's where we went for our company dinner, and I so wished I had booked one of them! By the way, one of the rooms on the second floor that overlooks the pool has a screen falling out of the window.

My family and I chose this location as it was the property of choice for a local chocolate festival we were attending. We were fortunate to get rooms that did not face the freeway so our room noise was minimal. Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. We really like the decor of this property - so NOT the usual Courtyard. This place is hip, trendy, and offers perks that business and pleasure travelers alike find convenient, like ample room to work, good wi-fi, ability to print boarding passes, great lighting - the usual stuff. The only "weird" thing was that in the room, the armoire blocked the A/C vents. Odd, but somehow the room was cool enough to sleep. The room was typical Courtyard - small, but in this property, the decor had been updated. Bed was comfy. Bed linens were nice and clean. Towels were aging - time for new ones. Bathroom very clean but extremely limited counter space around the sink. My pet peeve in hotels is dirty carpet and this property was no exception. Halls were quite dirty, room moderately so, but that's just me - I always notice the carpets. All in all, we found this to be a great value, close to everything, and we'd stay again.
