| - I stayed at this Courtyard while on a business trip for one night. As I do with all of my hotel reviews, I'll review every aspect that actually means something to me.
Location: Was easy to find. It is located in a quiet area. No surrounding construction or industrial sites.
Check-in: Was very fast. There was a small line at first and then someone came out from the back room to accomodate those of us waiting. The check-in process was fast, but the employee directed me down the wrong hallway to get to my room. No big deal. Everyone makes mistakes. She was holding the map backwards I guess.
The room:
Noise pollution: Next to none. Inside my room I could not hear a thing coming from outside the room with the exception of the occasional person leaving their room (I'll never understand why they don't install springs on the doors so that they don't slam shut). Given, I was here on a slow night. There were no kids that I could tell. And my neighbors, if there were any, were extremely quiet.
Cleanliness: As to expect from Courtyard, my room was immaculate.
Odour: There was none. The air in my room was fresh and clean.
Temperature: The air conditioner worked perfectly. I like my room 70 or lower. I set it for 70, my room was 70. The AC wasn't noisy or smelly or anything of the sort. Humidity was perfect. As a reference, it was a 75 degree day.
Comfort: The bed was fairly comfortable. There may have been some slight mattress sag because I kind of rolled around a lot during the night. But, I roll around a lot anyway. The pillows were OK, though I am VERY picky when it comes to pillows. Even my pillows at home are just OK.
Convenience: My room was 2 doors from the side exit and that is where I parked. Can't get any better than that, really. There is a refrigerator in the room which is always convenient to have. And mine happened to be absolutely silent. Not a sound came from that cabinet the whole night. In fact, I think I forgot it was even there because I left a half a sandwich in there ;P Internet was blazing fast. Was able to do whatever surfing and work I needed without noticing any slowdown.
TV: This is where the last star comes off. The bed must face the TV. The bed must face the TV. Repeat after me. The bed must face the TV. ATTENTION: HOTEL ROOM DESIGNERS: THE BED MUST FACE THE TV. Having to watch TV with your head turned --- SUCKS. Why is it that hardly any hotel can get this right? Maybe I'm in the wrong line of business. I should be a hotel room designer.
Shower: Water pressure is phenominal in this hotel and the water is as hot as you want it to be.
Breakfast: Unlike other Courtyards I've been to where they have a breakfast buffet, this one was counter service. Though the seating arrangements were very favorable. There is a bar where you can eat and use your computer -- and plug in for charging, and the tables are large enough to work without charging. The breakfast itself was made to order. Scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, home fries (the home fries were excellent). Average price - 10 bucks. They serve Starbucks coffee which is separate from the breakfast order but when I asked the guy if coffee was included he said he would take care of it. Honestly though, I'm not sure why they didn't go the buffet route. It's usually the same price, and we'd have more choices.
I always stay at Courtyards if I can, and I always will in the future. Occasionally you come across a bad one but for me it has been rare. When you calculate the price to quality ratio, they just can't be beaten.
