After being traveling all day, including being stuck in the middle seat in the back of the plane --- hey, I need leg room. Checking in was so easy and quick then I get to the room. Wow, is all I can say. The room felt so big. The walk-in shower is huge and has a bench --- very cool. Free wi-fi, HD TV, smoke-free and breakfast. There is no restaurant (for dinner) on site, but there are a handful of places that within walking distance.\n\nUPDATE: While I was waiting for my room to be cleaned (ended up missing class because I was sick, see next review) I discovered a very cool pool set up for the kids. Lots of things to climb on, slide down or have water come down on them. (picture attached) I asked the desk at check out if this was the new set up for the Courtyard pools and found out that it was created specially for this Courtyard. Too bad it too far away for my niece and nephews to enjoy."^^ . "5"^^ .
