We stayed for one night using Marriott points, and it was very lucky that the point redemption value was so low. The first room we got had a very strong musty smell, and when I told the clerk about it her first response was "Like mold?". Yes, like mold. So we got another room which had the same smell, but luckily this one had a little patio so the open door was able to clear the smell away. All of the clerks were very friendly and helpful, though, so that made up for it. Oh, and we had to get the maid to clean up hair from the bathroom floor. Ick.

The Courtyard is undergoing an internal first floor lobby facelift. Despite the constant construction, the staff has been able to maintain a possitive attitude. Actual first floor rooms are being utilized as a makeshift breakfast area (all complimentary) and business center.

I am in town every week - 3 or 4 days for a project through January 2012. I usually prefer to get the Kingsize bed but the layout does not work for me when watching television. One needs to watch from an angle. Thus, I ask for the double where the television is directly ahead. My first two set of stays were fine.

The thrid week I was in a second floor double (226) where the street lamp beamed its light directly to the head of the bed. Since I like to sleep with the window partially open and no A/C this did not work for me. When I turned on the A/C a musky smell came into the room. I did not complain but will when I return tomorrow. The other rooms did not have the musky smell with the A/C running. Overall the rooms are clean and suitable for the average business traveler like me.

The workout room was very small but typical and good enough for me as I only use the bicycle. Because of the renovation the television was pulled out.

My biggest complaint has nothing to do with the hotel. When driving back to Maitland Ave, one needs to pass the entrance and make a u-turn, an annoyance I can live with.

I will review in another month after the renovation is completed.

We enjoyed our stay. Clean and beautiful rooms . Very spacious rooms and bathrooms.
I will stay again.

What an enjoyable stay we had at this Courtyard Hotel. The room was very spacious, the beds were comfortable and the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. Would stay there again in the future.
