    Front desk
    Lexy M.

    Loved the big bright bathroom. Nice open lobby. Snack store! Great clean warm pool and hot tub open untill midnight. The only thing keeping them from 5 Stars is the front desk calling at 12:02pm while I was on my way out the door for noon checkout. Slow your roll and chill! 10-30 minute leeway is common at 99% of places. Calling at 12:02 is rude.

    This review is for the hotels's restaurant not the hotel itself…read more My doctor said I need to eat more leafy greens and more protein. So a steak salad it is! Strolled down to the restaurant here at the hotel and ordered me a steak salad. About 15 minutes later out came the salad. Up to the room I went. Open the salad container and found an abundance of salad and a decent amount of steak. They didn't ask me how I wanted the steak, but it came medium to medium well. That's fine. You get a ton of salad and about eight strips of steak. Just what the doctor ordered! Everything about the salad was good. You get a choice of five different dressings. I went with the Italian dressing. It wasn't over the top tangy, I found it to be just right.

    I travel for work and always stay at Hilton brand hotels. This year I've stayed 62 nights in…read morehotels. I have never experienced such a horribly maintained doubletree in all of my travels. I was not informed that they were under construction until I arrived. The front desk employee said they stop everyday by 530pm. He did not say they start around 750am though. After a long day I got ready to take a shower and realized there were no bath towels in my room. I called the front desk and was told they would bring some right up (this was 10pm). About an hour later, still no towels the front desks calls to say things got busy and they were coming right now. I received 1 bath tiwel and 1 hand towel (I requested 2 bath towels and 2 wash cloths) around 11:45pm. Hopefully, once the renovations are completed this location will be a better representation of the Hilton brand. Currently it felt like a cheap roadside motel.

    I am putting this hotel in top 5 cleanest hotels I have ever stayed. My compliments to the house…read morekeeping staff. Even the halls, lobby area, outside, and stairway were spotless. The hotel is very nice. Rooms are decorated beautifully and bed had great linens. I prefer a firmer bed but still it was comfy. Not quite the typical marriott furniture. For example, an area rug over laminate hardwood floors. And a cart that held the mini fridge, safe, and Keurig. I am a lifetime Marriott platinum member and we enjoyed the benefit of their complementary breakfast. You order off the menu (not buffet) and it was delicious. There is an outside patio area with comfy chairs and firepit...shares the space with the attached restaurant (Jazzboline). Would have liked to try the attached restaurant, but yelp reviews made it sound terrible. (I depend on yelp reviews). We stayed in the courtyard room behind the main building. Windows do not open and no pool. We were traveling through town and stayed one night. Kinda glad it was just one night...the area was just okay. Not much in walking distance more of a city residential area. Overall, it is was a very pleasurable and nice stay.

Upon pulling up outside it doesn't look like much, but once we entered the first thing we noticed was the amazing décor. The customer service from all the staff working the desk and lobby café was also excellent! Checking in was smooth and perfect, she hit all the topics and was very happy, professional, and engaging. She told us lots about the property and gave us an excellent lunch recommendation too! Once we got into the room, it was perfectly decorated just like the common areas we saw upon entering. The tile inset on the bathroom floor and shower floor looked amazing! The bedding was great, flat, and comfy too. Ergonomics of the room were also designed for ease and comfort! They also have a Cadillac Escalade that they use to provide free rides to guests... Anywhere in the area within 5 miles, typically running until midnight! We were fortunate to grab a couple of rides with Marty, who was very engaging and helpful! He took us to a work reception nearby and told us to call him when we were ready to be picked up, which we did and he promptly came back to get us! Shower pressure and quickness of the hot water was perfect! TV also worked perfectly! We enjoyed our visit so much that we'd return to the area just to stay at this hotel again! Highly recommend staying here when in the area! I average staying in 1.5 Marriott properties weekly and based on the poor and inconsistent service at many of them, I wish the management here would train the others on how to keep a property beautifully clean (this place has been here 7 years and it looks brand new still!) and how to provide great service!

Saw plenty of good reviews for this hotel and so I booked it. We were greeted politely and checked in quickly. The room was a bit dated but it was spacious, quiet, comfortable and clean. Clean being the most important. It was spotless. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool. The pool also looked dated but was crystal clear and immaculately clean. In the morning, we enjoyed a tasty breakfast with fresh made waffle, eggs and yogurt (there was more. This was a very good breakfast with lots of options). The coffee and hot chocolate were excellent. I want to mention Lorne as he was there both nights of our stay. He was friendly, helpful and provided exceptional service. i was very happy with this establishment and will definitely stay here again.

He actually never did, the manager on duty finally came out and checked us in The manager on duty called me "hon" twice The desk clerk showed up the next day wearing a "wife beater" shirt and hung around even though he wasn't working The manager vaped in front of the building several times The desk clerk smoked in front of the building The beds were too soft and we both ended up feeling sore The headboard of the room next to us was against our bed, so we felt the couple having sex as our bed kept pulsing in rhythm We would not stay here again

I won't go into details here, but the manager awarded me 10,000 points as compensation. As I haven't had the inclination to stay a Courtyard since that experience, those points expired unused some time ago. On a recent trip to the Buffalo area, my search yielded a Courtyard location that was priced reasonably. I had driven past that hotel numerous times and observed that it looked relatively new and well maintained, and it was convenient. In the spirit of second chances, and on the assumption that my previous experience was unique to a single location, I made my six day reservation online. Check-in was quick and efficient, the staff was very friendly, and the room appeared to be impeccably clean. Good lighting throughout, a very capable showerhead with plenty of pressure, and water that was hotter than I've ever even dared to dream about! Yes, Atlanta was an aberration. Courtyard by Marriott is back on my list! Until day four. After three days of no maid service (despite having explicitly asked for it that morning), we turned down the second bed, only to find two dirty socks under the covers! It nearly triggered my gag reflex. So many questions rippled through my head. What else wasn't cleaned after the previous guest checked out of that room? How long have those socks been there? What sorts of bodily fluids have I been marinating in over the past three nights? What about the pillows? Were the towels just air dried and refolded? Is this a disgruntled employee or is it business as usual? We immediately packed our bags and loaded up the car. I stopped at the front desk to check out and told the clerk about the socks. She seemed genuinely apologetic, but I think she realized that offering to change rooms or to clean the room we were in was pointless. She refunded the unused nights and said she would talk to the manager when he arrived to see if they could award me some points that will definitely go unused. I'd strongly advise against this Courtyard location. I don't believe the brand is salvageable, at least in my mind. Frankly, I'm wondering if the entire Marriott brand is safe. Did I mention that there were ants in the bathroom?

They're not nice all the time.

    4 stars Stayed here…read morefor 2 nights on a work trip. Overall, the stay was good; however, one night I found 2 bugs in the bathroom. The hotel seemed clean, but bugs that looked like roaches do not make someone feel comfortable. Positives - I was able to get an early check in. There is a water bottle filling machine on the first floor. The vending area (sodas and snacks) has very reasonable prices. The gentleman at the front desk, Dan, was the nicest hotel clerk I have ever encountered. Overall, the hotel was fairly clean. The towels and bathroom amenities were great quality. The WiFi worked great. See pic: Large (used) trash bag by elevator trash cans - the large bag is provided in room for ease of keeping the room clean and disposing of larger items. This is a great idea being the hotel is next to a sports facility. I can imagine this would help families clean up properly behind themselves! There was also a notice that they are upgrading the tvs to being "smart". While this didn't happen during my stay, it's a positive for future guests! Negatives - The bugs on my first night. The breakfast buffet was just meh. Although there is plenty to choose from, the first day the cheddar egg omelette was old and hard to cut through (breakfast at 7:30am), both days the yogurt was kept in a basket (dairy should be kept on ice), the waffle maker didn't cook all the way through (and no spray to help get the waffle out, so the outer part that was cooked stuck to the waffle maker), and by 7:30 on day 2 they were out of quite a bit of the fresh fruit (the only healthy option). The temperature in the room was hard to control - it doesn't let you select air or heat. 73 was cold air, 74 was like a full blown heater on blast.
