Friendly staff and close proximity to restaurants and I 75

Got this room through a Priceline deal and did not select it based on area. It was a clean room and a pleasant stay. I found that the towels were on the skimpy side and the toiletries minimal.

We stayed here in 2009, shortly after they opened and had a wonderful stay. We decided to stay here again a few weeks ago, since Courtyards are usually a good bet. Check-in was a breeze, the room was great, but breakfast was a D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. I wish we had not booked the breakfast included with the room. The dining area was extremely understaffed. There was a long line waiting to get into the dining area. There was one young woman who was hostess, waitress, cleaning the tables and more. She worked so hard, but was doing the job of three people. I went to the buffet twice and there was no bread, bagels, eggs... Normally, the food is replenished quickly, but not here. I asked for bagels, and they brought out frozen bagels. They can't handle large crowds here, and were unprepared.
We'll stay at a Hilton hotel next time, and we are Marriott Rewards members.

This is one of the better Courtyards we have stayed at. Very good service, quiet and clean.

The pool is nice and secluded, even though the hotel is in a shopping center. Exercise room was well maintained.

Did I mention this is in a shopping center - OMG! This is probably one of the biggest outdoor centers we have ever seen. Numerous restaurants, hundreds of stores, a large movie theatre - even a Bass store. Easy to get lost in with all the roads and roundabouts. Even got a haircut at 9 AM at one of several shops at the mall, while my wife was showering.

Next year we will skip the Orlanda resort and just fly down here and explore the area.

Note - probably not a good hotel if you have kids, since there is not much to do but hit the pool and shop. The hotel is very far from the beaches.

Since we don't have kids, it's perfect for us.
