| - This hotel is pretty impressive, especially considering that the Courtyard brand is generally considered a step under the full-fledged Marriotts in the pecking order. What stood out initially is that each employee was ridiculously friendly and helpful. For example, there's a valet that couldn't have been any more accommodating in receiving us out-of-towners on a rainy afternoon. We commented on the level of service several times throughout the evening, and later on, we saw the very same valet outside of a bar giving a pep talk to a vagrant. What a guy!
The location of the hotel is pretty much unbeatable. You're close to a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and a subway stop, and there's a bar/restaurant onsite if you're not one for exploring. Despite the urban locale, it was as quiet as could be as we slept. The rooms themselves were large, well-stocked, and more or less in good order, and the beds were mighty comfortable. I would be honored to pass out here again.
