| - ***This Courtyard is very similar to a lot of the Courtyards out there, which is a good thing, but it does not stand out in many ways with the exception of their very reasonable room rates on weekends***
Courtyard Marriotts are very similar state to state. They are typically in suburban areas and usually feature a 24-hr fitness center, complimentary Wi-Fi and complimentary parking. They also usually have the same exterior and a three to four floor structure. The outdoor courtyard is also pretty similar no matter what Courtyard you are staying at. This Courtyard has all of these characteristics.
Where Courtyards can be different is in the lobby. Most Courtyards (including this one) have converted over to the new Courtyard modern lobby and bistro concept with a variety of seating from communal tables to regular tables and pods/booths. There are lots of power outlets to make this hotel convenient for business travelers.
Courtyard rooms tend to only be slightly different property to property. The decor tends to be simple and modern but still clean and comfortable. The nicer and more up-to-date Courtyards may have attractive red bed scarfs (this hotel didn't). The room was comfortable and clean enough though. The shower was good too.
The A/C unit was an older unit, but if you get their auto temperature working fine, the room is cool enough, which is necessary given the very hot weather in Phoenix. There were times though when I did wish the room was cooler.
Service was fine. It was friendly but not as friendly as you get at a lot of Courtyards.
Room rates are very good here. Maybe it is because this Courtyard is a 10-minute drive to Downtown Phoenix or that hotel room rates in Phoenix area hotels are just less expensive than equivalent hotels in other big cities (it seemed that Phoenix hotels from Courtyards to full service Marriotts were all very reasonably priced). A weekend stay here is definitely much less expensive than similar hotels in Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, or San Jose.
This Courtyard is a perfectly fine Courtyard. It is a very reasonably priced hotel so it makes a great option when staying in Phoenix since it is not that long of a drive to get to key Phoenix attractions. Given though that many Marriott brand hotels in the Phoenix area are reasonably priced, you may want to consider staying at a more frills full service hotel like the Renaissance and Marriott or options closer to Downtown Phoenix.
As mentioned, parking is complimentary. It is easy finding an open space.
