=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE If you want a decent place to stay in a light industrial neighbourhood, this could one one of your choices. If you want to stay in the same building and get a free breakfast, choose the Towneplace Suites. Tips: - If you stay 5 nights or more, parking can be credited. - If you are Marriott Bonvoy Gold or higher, the gift can be $10 credit each night in the market - but keep in mind they charge tax in the market when considering pricing :) === 2. ROOMS Having stayed in double Queen and single King rooms: the rooms are updated and comfortable. The beds are decent, the linens in reasonable shape. LED lighting is available from the entrance with the mirrored sliding closet doors to the room and underlit desk area, and around the room which includes a couch, small. fridge and more. The HVAC is centrally controlled, though I found there is a switch on the unit that lets the unit produce only heat or only cold. The windows do not open in any way and the curtains are handy to stop the outdoor heat/cold as well as some of the low-level traffic noise. The bathrooms are fine; the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are available in pumps in the shower, but like may other hotels, there are not nearly enough places to hang a hand towel or bath towel. There is a decent-sized LCD TV though there is no digital TV guide available so get ready to keep flipping :) === 3. COMMON AREAS The lobby is modernized with the ability to print out boarding passes. The restaurant area is nice with a small business centre. The pricing is love-it-or-hate-it like all other Courtyards; might I suggest any one of the nearby eateries? The market beside the front desk has a selection of items but they charge tax and/or it's not complementary unlike some other Marriott properties. There are conference ballrooms downstairs along with a small gym that has free weights and some cardio machines. === 4. SERVICE Service is prompt and professional at the front desk. I had an issue with my latest room where in the desk light tube could not be turned on reliably and the HVAC seemed not to cool. They responded right away, but ultimately couldn't fix the light. But at least they tried, twice. === 5. ENVIRONMENT Overall, it looks like the place was modernized in the last 5-10 years. There is a Chinese chain restaurant and a spa on one end of the building. Parking is a little interesting: it's outside along the edge of the property or it's in old, strangely structured parking garage where it's $6 per night (unless you stay 5 nights in a row). read more

Please note that this review reflects the final two days of my stay. I checked into the hotel on Sunday, August 10th. For the most part, everything was satisfactory until the evening before our scheduled checkout on Wednesday, August 13th. Upon returning from a day of sightseeing on Tuesday, August 12th, we discovered that neither of the two rooms we had booked had received any housekeeping service. We had to call and request replacement amenities for both rooms. While this alone wouldn't normally justify a one-star review, what occurred next left a lasting impression--and not a good one. On the morning of our departure, as my family and I prepared to check out around 9:30 AM, we discovered that our vehicle had been the target of an attempted robbery. When I arrived at the parking garage to retrieve our car, I found the rear passenger window smashed. Broken glass was scattered across the back seats, and there were deep scratches and indentations on the car seat and frame. The glove compartment had been forcibly torn open, its contents strewn throughout the vehicle. It was clear someone had attempted to steal the car but, for reasons unknown, had failed. Thankfully, despite having valuables in the car, nothing appeared to be stolen. We immediately filed a police report. When I asked the floor manager for security footage, he informed me that he could not provide it, but assured me that our vehicle had been parked in full view of the security cameras on the second floor. Upon returning home, I began researching and discovered that similar incidents have occurred at this property on multiple occasions. This was not an isolated event--the hotel has a history of vehicle break-ins and, despite being aware of the issue, has failed to implement adequate security measures. Worse still, they continue to charge guests for parking in a facility that is clearly unsafe. When my case was eventually assigned to a police officer, I was informed that although the vehicle was technically within the camera's view, the footage failed to capture the suspect because the point of entry was in the camera's blind spot. What's more concerning is that the only access to that level of the garage is via the stairwell and elevator connected directly to the hotel lobby or the ramps from the ground level--yet no additional footage from those areas was provided. This strongly suggests either negligence or deliberate withholding of evidence, and it underscores the hotel's lack of concern for guest safety. I have stayed at this Courtyard Marriott twice in the past year and had previously considered it a reliable and comfortable option. Unfortunately, this most recent experience has completely changed my perspective. I would strongly advise anyone traveling with a vehicle to avoid this location entirely. As for me, I will never return--not only because of the lack of cleanliness and security, but because of the hotel's unwillingness to take responsibility and their blatant disregard for their guests' well-being. read more

This Markham hotel is located on Woodbine Ave just north of Steeles Ave E.  I dub it the Owl neighbourhood because of the Firkin Pub patio a hundred metres away.  It is rated Accessible and not Pet-friendly. Front desk staff are professional; be nice at a minimum and you'll get that in return.  This is my second visit to this building which is jointly a TownePlace Suites as well. I'm only here to visit three guests staying in separate rooms with kitchenettes. I can't speak first-hand of the experience.  Just keeping my social distance with the COVID-19 situation and the safety of all. Courtyard by Marriott has parking, breakfast and WiFi for guests. Many amenities like the bar, restaurant, fitness centre, swimming pool + spa may not be fully opened due to COVID-19 restrictions so check first with front desk staff. Venture outside and you can experience the famous Metro Square a few kilometers east or the Bayview Golf and Country Club westward. Fore! read more

We're visiting Toronto from California for the first time. We stayed here because the downtown hotels were at least 2x more expensive. Overall a nice place to stay. The rooms seem a little outdated. The TV doesn't offer Netflix or YouTube which is a negative. The complimentary breakfast was adequate per my family (I usually skip breakfast). The town of Markahm is heavily Chinese populated and is reflected in the many Chinese restaurants in the area. The gym was minimal. read more

Well for starters, it's 4:10am here during our stay in room 402. My husband, daughter and I were all awoken to the sound of an insanely loud dump truck emptying the dumpsters outside our hotel room window around 3:30am this morning. It's been going on for over 40 minutes and when I called down to the front desk, the staff at the desk told me "we have nothing scheduled". I can't tell if I'm perplexed by that response out of sheer exhaustion...but the cornucopia of profanities being yelled between sanitation staff outside my window is just too colorful for my own imagination. To make matters worse, we decided to start packing our suitcase since we leave later this morning, and while taking our suitcases out of the closet found a pair of soiled men's hanes boxer briefs balled up in a corner of the closet. They don't belong to us. We are presently in a state that can only be described as a mix of revolting disbelief, disgust, frustration and somnolence. Don't waste your money staying here unless you're looking for pubic hair laden amenities, unhelpful staff with suspected sensorineural hearing loss and sleep deprivation. read more

I booked through a third party flash deal and this is the hotel I unfornuntaely got, from my last experience I was already worried about the cleanliness and with this COVID-19 I was on high alert. I checked in that evening with the Asian girl, she was okay but refused to upgrade our room after our last experience. We went back and forth for about 10 minutes, I did tell her I do find it odd why you wouldn't just upgrade our room since the hotel is most likely empty due to the covid? she tells me shell need to call her manager and for me to sit down, not long afterwards here comes the Caucasian manager she was very silly immature and laughed at everything. I personally thought she was under the influence of something! after getting no where with the "manager" I told her I will take this as a loss and future note take my business else where, I never got refused for an upgrade during my stay. I checked into the room that had been assigned to me and again I have an issue with the cleanliness, the housekeeper did not wipe the side tables you can clearly see stains on the table and the telephone was also dirty definitely needed a wipe down. I made sure I didn't touch that phone during my stay. The mattress in the room was horrible and every time you moved on the bed it would make sounds. I did re clean the entire room myself, again! Towards the end of the night I went out to get a coffee as I return the Caucasian manager is in the front lobby area just talking loudly cross to the Asian girl "being silly and laughing away" as i am waiting for the elevator the Caucasian manger attempted to speak to me which I ignored her. number 1. I am a customer please don't speak to me during my stay number 2. she got close to me while i was waiting for the elevator with a dirty rag and a spray bottle, I literally had to take 2 steps to the right to keep my distances from her. DO YOU NOT KNOW TO STAY AWAY 2 METERS! she's totally unprofessional future note: keep your distance from customers at all times there is no need for you to leave the desk area and hover in the lobby area, especially if your holding a spray bottle and dirty rag, very un sanitary! I never felt so uncomfortable, I never had an issue on professionalism with any employee at this hotel. Goodluck but I will no longer return to book my stay here. BTW KEEP NOTE; IF USING A CREDIT CARD FOR DEPOSIT ITS A $20.00 HOLD DO NOT LET HER TRICK YOU INTO $250 HOLD, ITS ONLY $250 DEPOSIT IF YOUR USING CASH! read more

I've stayed at this Courtyard in the past. I am a Titanium member, so the hotel has in the past, frequently upgraded me to a suite. The last stay was no different. Arrived and was checked-in fairly quickly. The staff were efficient at getting me on my way. Got up to my upgraded suite and I think that the only suites are facing Woodbine Ave. The windows in the suites aren't overly soundproof. So there is the constant din of traffic noise. My suite was nice, although the layout seems a bit strained/odd. There is a sofa in the living area, but it's in front of the windows. So in order to close the blinds/curtains, you have to either move a stand-up lamp or lean over the back of the sofa to get to the blinds. The Bedroom is sizable and has a below window AC/Heater unit. The bed is comfortable and bathroom is adjacent the bedroom. Everything in the bathroom is very standard Courtyard appointed. The entire room is nice, but not over the top splash or anything really fancy. During my stay the fire alarm went off @ 2am. I've experienced this in the past at various hotels, usually the announcement comes on to notify guests that it's being investigated and the alarm is silenced. Not here. The Alarm continued, and no announcement. When the heard the sirens of the fire response, I thought I should probably vacate. Stairs vacated me to a location nowhere near the lobby. Walked over to the lobby and then once the alarm was turned off the guests were allowed to return. However the staff made no effort to open up the stairwells to allow the horde of guests to walk instead of waiting for elevators. Overall, The hotel is good, but I think there are better price options out there. I wasn't impressed by the fire alarm (which turned out to be some teens smoking in the stairwell that set it off). The hotel is clean, and the staff do try. I think I'm going to be trying some other Marriott properties in the area next time I'm visiting. read more

The wifi was very easy and fast to connect to. The hotel is definitely family friendly in a convenient area to nearby landmarks. The receipt will be placed under your door on the day of your check out, for your convenience. The cost per night was for a less than average hotel room. There was no sofa bed as listed which made it inconvenient for my stay. The lighting fixtures in the room were really faulty. I had to flick the light switch multiple times before getting it to turn on. I have never been to a hotel that did not have a safe in it. The bathroom door did not lock. During my vacation, I have been to three different Courtyard by Marriott hotels. I would have to say that the room itself was very disappointing and definitely not worth the money. They would charge for water and the coffee was horrible. read more

3.5 stars We come to the Toronto/GTA area pretty frequently, and being Marriott rewards card holders, we are always curious to see how different hotel locations adapt to industry trends. During our recent trip to Toronto, I became excited to see that this new Courtyard location was open. In fact, I didn't even know that there was a new opening in the works! Thumbing through the numerous photos, I thought the new branding that Marriott is implementing in their hotels (specifically Courtyard) looked great. That's the reason why we decided to book our stay here..purely on aesthetics. I want to mention that this hotel used to be a Holiday Inn, and while they did a great job on the finishings and colors of the hotel, it still screamed Holiday Inn to us. Parking was awkward, as it was next to a small business area, forcing the only solution to be 1 long row of parking spaces along the perimeter of the lot. In an attempt to add more parking spaces, they have a covered garage as well. Be prepared to pay $4 CAD for it. Not a lot of money, but for being outside of the city, not what most would expect. Oh, and if you have a high profile truck, don't bring it along with you, as the height limit is 6'. Inside, the lobby is large and spacious. Plenty of room for lounging, and for computer usage. Elevators flank the south end of the hotel, and they have implemented the usage of your room key to activate the elevator. So, make sure you keep it on yourself the entire time, or you will not be able to use the elevator. Hallways were fine, and rooms had nice heavy doors. Beds were more comfortable than other Courtyards, and the colors were warm, inviting, and relaxing. If you have a lot of luggage, there is plenty of storage inside the room with 2 closets and multiple dressers. Washroom was alright, but surprisingly, water pressure wasn't good. I did see a notice on the door that they were making arrangements to improve that, so I bet that isn't a problem anymore. I wanna say that what brought this experience up an additional half star is that the front desk staff was super friendly, hospitable, helpful, and informative. Other than that, the rooms and overall condition of the hotel were just average. We paid $94 CAD for one night, and felt that it was priced decently. I might come back, but it's definitely not my first choice. read more

This hotel is very clean and relatively new. It was nearby my husband's work conference so we stayed here. About a half hour or so away from downtown Toronto. We paid a little extra for a suite. We got a nice little desk, mini fridge, sink, and small couch outside of the bed room. It was quite a large suite for the price. Everything was very clean and newer furniture. I have no complaints about the room. However, I do have a few other complaints. Their spa was completely booked which sucked. Their prices seemed decent but there was no website! It is not on the Courtyard Marriott website that they even had a spa. This spa does not have their own website either. I had to call them to ask for prices. They did have a groupon but I did not buy as they told me there were completely booked for the time I was there. Now on to the food. There is a restaurant in the lobby which can be delivered to your room like room service. I was disappointed I did not get to try it because their hours are not convenient. After 10am I could not order when I wanted to order lunch. They do not have a lunch menu. I was stuck in the room waiting for my husband so I ordered a pizza instead which was delivered to my room. Overall, it is a nice clean hotel. Just not the best services. read more

Not a bad spot if you want to me in the suburbs of Toronto. It's relatively clean, and wifi strength is good. There's a fitness room and pool as well. They do charge for parking. read more

I'm not sure if the mandatory parking fees or the 100 flushes I heard from everyone flushing their toilets bothered me most at this renovated hotel. Why anyone would instal pressurized flushing system in a hotel that literally sounds like a mini explosion bogels my mind. And what's with the parking fees? Another greedy ownership money grab. Skip this place. read more

Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Northeast/Markham was bright, clean and well maintained. My room was spacious, well decorated and tidy. The fitness center was filled with treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and weight benches with free weights. This is one of the largest fitness centers I have been to at a Marriott property. Each member of the staff I encountered was pleasant, friendly and helpful. Thank you Marriott Toronto Northeast/Markham for a wonderful experience. read more

Ok hotel. Nothing special. If you have status with Marriott don't expect much extra. Upgrades don't happen. Rarely get your free bottle of water at check in. Front desk processes you through as just another guest. Other area Marriotts and especially Hilton have much better service. Unbelievably noisy hotel. Noises from rooms permeate the walls. Very hard to sleep. read more

The worst Marriott hotel I have ever been. Heat doesn't work. Rude customer services. Wanted a coffee at 9:18 am they said they are closed. read more

This place used to be a Holiday Inn a long time ago and had a nice pool and hot tub. It seems now it's a Marriott that they don't care about the pool and now it's a sad place. They filled in and covered up the hot tub. They drywalled and painted the ceiling over the pool which makes it feel really low. You can imagine how it used to be with a nice natural wood ceiling and plants instead of just dirt in the planters below the windows. Don't stay here if you were considering the pool as a feature. Maybe some other hotel company will take over in the future and embark on restoration work on the pool so that it doesn't look so neglected and forgotten. read more

Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Northeast/Markham - It doesn't look like this anymore. - Hotels Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Every aspect of this hotel was excellent. Check in staff were very friendly. Room was clean and bright. Great view of the city. Starbucks coffee shop located in the front lobby for that great bold coffee pick me up. The pool was clean and bright. Breakfast was top notch!!!!!! Hot and cold selections to tide you over till supper. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I would not recommend staying here. Although the rooms were nice. They have the hotel section off where only certain rooms were allowed to have there continental breakfast. And on top of that they have a Starbucks downstairs and it was never opened and I asked at the front desk and I was told if someone is there they can help you. If no one is there they are closed. Do for my entire stay there was someone there once. We had to go every morning down to a local gas station if we wanted coffee or any kind of food. Staff was polite, but that would not warrant me staying there again, especially for the room rate that we paid. Do your research first ( lesson learned) read more

Great hotel spot to stay in. Super clean and super nice rooms. Free wifi in the rooms. Beds were really comfortable. They have a parking lot which was cheap. Gym was very spacious and had all the essentials for a decent workout. Front desk people were really helpful. read more

My stay here was excellent! The hotel was clean, updated, and very comfortable. The elevators got jammed up a bit with so many people trying to use them, that was a little annoying but not a big deal. It was a great price and a great stay! read more

Love this hotel! Very clean and contemporary. Front desk was very helpful and attentive. Beds were really comfy. The only downside, bring your own water for your in-room coffeemaker, if not it will cost you $3 for a bottle. For convenience sake I guess $3 isn't too bad?? Or just go to Starbucks in the lobby. read more

The hotel is old..looks like very long temps....the door of our room is broken...can't close..and the ice machine is broken too...omg...too bad!! read more

I needed a place to stay the night with my friends. The room was clean, but the service was lacking. We checked in early evening and checked out around 1pm. They gave us an extra hour (probably because of the time change). I appreciated that. When we checked out, they didn't explain where the extra charge on the account was from until we came back to ask and it wasn't on the receipt. The bistro/Starbucks was closed around 1pm, which I find odd since there were a few people in the lobby looking around for food. We ordered from the front desk, (two grande frappuccinos), but the clerk gave us two hot beverages. I still don't know what they were. We didn't return it since it wasn't a big deal, but we found it weird that the front desk clerk would also act as a barista. Especially when they don't know the menu. We asked if we could use any facilities while we waited for our ride home. They said you needed a room key, (which was fine), but continued by saying "What's the problem?" in regards to why we were still in the lobby. After we explained we were waiting for a ride, he said to make ourselves comfortable in the lobby. Overall, it wasn't the worst experience but there is a lot that can be improved upon. read more

Wait 20 minutes for an elevator that stops at every floor. Be warned you will be late for work.
