I've had the pleasure of staying at the Courtyard BWI a handful of times this year and I must say I am looking forward to the ongoing renovations to the property.

I enjoy my stays at the property and have encountered few problems. The staff in all departments have always been courteous and polite throughout my stays, with the exception of one employee in the maintenance department. The rooms are always clean and amenities replenished by the housekeeping department. The work area in the room is spacious and the balconies are a nice touch to the property.

I have only encountered a few problems. During one of my stays, I was put in a connecting room - which does not have the insulation that the non-connecting rooms have. I was able to hear the guest in the other room quite clearly, even though they were only speaking at a normal volume. I also had a problem with my door lock, which a maintenance worker came to fix immediately.

The shuttles are often unpredictable. Since they stop at many other Marriott properties and BWI airport, sometimes there will be multiple shuttles arriving within five minutes, and other times you have to wait 30-45 minutes for one to show up.

I also wish they had more selection at the restaurant for various dietary restrictions.

Otherwise, the rooms are very clean and spacious, there is plenty of parking, and the staff is friendly and hospitable.
