This was our first stay in a Courtyard Marriott property and it was very pleasant. The East/Park Avenue Courtyard is an older facility, but very clean, and our room was absolutely spotless. Although very small and decorated more in a minimalist style, our room was comfortable and the bed/pillows were first rate. Not much in the way of toiletries, no lotion included, and the coffee holder sported those one cup packages we really don't care for, but it was Royal Cup and tasty. The tub had a good safety bar--all hotels should--and that was appreciated. Our room rate included the breakfast buffet from the little restaurant in the lobby (scrambled eggs/cooked to order omelets, bacon, sausage, potatoes, biscuits/gravy, fruit, pastries, oatmeal) and it was plentiful and good. Hostesses showed Marriott hospitality and served our coffee, juice in good mugs and glasses rather than the usual styrofoam. It was a pleasant change from the substandard fare most chains call a "free" breakfast. I would suggest salt/pepper shakers be wiped and refilled...ours were not, but the good breakfast was worth that little inconvenience. The breakfast area was light-filled, gas logs were lit and it was really a nice way to begin the day. Staff was friendly for the most part. We enjoyed this part of Memphis and there was a Target across the way for a quick dash to pick up needed items. Nice. The newer Courtyards may be a little more plush, but we enjoyed a quiet, stress-free stay and will likely come again.
Room Tip: We asked for a quiet area and we were given a room close to the end of the third floor. Very quiet...
