I didn't expect that I would give a Courtyard a 5 star review but this hotel tries so hard and succeeds. Upon entering, the lobby is super smart and stylish- a small restaurant with either basic seating or round booths each with their own TV- for sports buffs. A second lounge area has a giant gas fireplace and large TV, plus internet stations. It was all so inviting! The front desk staff was prompt and helpful and their side food shop was appreciated. The pool was too small for anyone to use- at least every time I looked.
For only $20 more than a room, we took a large two room suite. It was SOOOO clean! The bathroom is well laid out and on the larger side, the bedroom was the size of most hotel rooms and the sleeper sofa was sufficiently new and comfortable. There was plenty of furniture for storage and a small fridge which everyone appreciates. My only knock was- where was the safe? I expect one if every room I stay in! - same as running water and a bed. It should be part of any room experience. Yet the staff was quick to offer to hold valuables in private lock boxes behind the front desk, so it showed they cared.
I would recommend this hotel and certainly look forward to staying here again.
