We stayed at the Courtyard for a wedding on new years. The room was pretty standard, not horrible, but not great. The walls were paper thin, but it was new years, and people are going to party--and they did. The staff was excellent: helpful and pleasant. The reason we chose the hotel was it's proximity to the wedding venue. I'm sure that there are better hotels in the area, however, it's not a bad place to stay for one night.

I like booking Marriott Courtyard's on business because I know what to expect. A good bed to sleep in and free wifi. This is a solid Marriott Courtyard with perhaps the most 'tricked out' lobby I have seen. The lobby has a full cafe with breakfast choice and a small dinner menu and appears to be brand new.

The room itself was fine, however this is one of the oldest Marriott properties I have visited. From my first steps into the room, it was evident this hotel was built (perhaps on the cheap) in the 1980's. The furnishings were typical tasteful Marriott but the actual construction is dated. The walls were VERY thin and I could hear most everyword from my loud neighbors next door. The bathroom was spacious and well appointed.

The hotel is well located and you are only a few minutes drive from the North Hills Shopping Center that has everything you need.

Overall, this is a solid, albeit not exceptional, Marriott property and would consider staying here again on my next business trip to Raleigh.

Courtyard Raleigh Midtown is about 5-6 miles away from town center, however well connected to most of the city and airport (about 15-30mts drive). Some renovation work was happening when i have stayed in this hotel in March. Decent breakfast, and fairly good rooms. Across the road, few dining options available.

We have stayed a few times to visit our daughter at NCSU. It's a nice, convenient location. Near a few restaurants. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We haven't used any of the other amenities.
