I was in Marlborough for work and this Courtyard was a company preferred hotel. I have to say, it is a step above many Courtyard's I have been in.
*Fast and efficient check in. They thanked me for my Marriott status (don't normally get that at the Courtyard) and gave me a room on the 5th floor for my 5 night stay.
*Standard size room. Great work desk area, amazingly comfortable bed and standard bathroom. Nothing to complain about.
*Free Internet which is nice. Great speeds which is even better. Normally "free Internet" comes with super slow speed. I was even able to download a couple shows on iTunes with reasonable speed (almost impossible in other hotels as they meter the bandwidth).
*Although the menu in the on-site restaurant is limited the food was pretty good. I had dinner there two nights and both nights was quite impressed with the service and quality.
*The on-site gym is always a big thing for me. They actually have two of them :) The free one is limited...couple treadmills, a bench and free weights up to 50 lbs. However they have a membership-style paid facility in the basement that really is good. While it is $10 for guests it is worth it to have access to good equipment that allows me to continue my workouts on the road.
Overall I enjoyed my stay. I will definitely be back even with several company-preferred hotels to choose from in the area.
