Disappointing for a Marriott Courtyard

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 2, 2022
While the hotel was good, there were a couple of things that did not set well with us. The first thing was they are now charging $12/day to park in their at grade parking lot. I had two room rented for a week each so that amounts to $84/week/room.
We have stayed in hotels in downtown big cities where the hotels have parking garages for guests to park in. We understand that a fee will be charged in such a hotel. However, this is a Courtyard hotel in a small Colorado town, not a big city.

The other item that bothered us was the lack of an included breakfast with the room. I feel like Marriott is nickel and dimeing their guests now. We have stayed in 3 other “small hotels” of this same caliber as this Marriott in this same area who not only do not charge to park in their at grade parking lot but also provide at least a continental breakfast with the price of the room. While we like Marriott, have been Marriott customers for a long time and have stayed at many over the years, we will be thinking twice before we stay at this one again.
When we mentioned our displeasure to the front desk we were told that we were not the only guests who had complained and that it was a corporate decision. She took our comments and the response we got came in a kind of “curt” way. Not very good customer service. Could have taken our comments in a nicer fashion and offered to pass them on to their management office.

Thank you for your review Trout42. We are sorry to hear we did not meet your expectations. Since we have implemented the parking fee in 2020, most of our guests have been made aware of this through the website or confirmation email. Within Marriott, the sub-brands are all different in terms of their amenities and offerings. Courtyards do not have a complimentary breakfast. They do have a made to order breakfast that is at an extra cost. The Residence Inn, which is right next door to us, does have a complimentary breakfast. Should you find yourself back in Glenwood Springs, please consider the Residence Inn.

Booked 2 queen bed accessible room. Was surprised how large the room was. Had separate sitting area on either side of the room. 1 side had couch and chair with tv, then beds with tv, after beds were 2 other chairs. Very clean, comfortable bed, large bathroom with bathtub. Staff very engaging and helpful. Quiet location. Parking a bit crowded but would stay again and recommend.

We stayed here so that we could explore the Roaring Fork Valley and Rifle Falls SP. I'm not sure where the bad reviews come from. The hotel was spotless; comfortable and the staff was really nice. The $12 parking fee is a little silly, but we knew of it in advance. There's really no need, but they make you aware in advance. Very pet friendly. Staff could not be more helpful.

Room tip: Top floor is quiet! Ro

According to the front desk, there was no staffing to man any breakfast offerings.
The place was worn and really out of sync with what travelers are looking for. We would stay at the Residence Inn next door if we come back this way. Some good news is that there is a Chilis to dine at about a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Also close to Target and a grocery store too/. Also near a bus stop to get downtown.

Thank you for your review Robert! Sounds like there must have been some miscommunication, as we serve breakfast everyday between 6:30 and 10am. We are happy you enjoyed our great location! The Residence Inn, as you mentioned, is also a great place to stay! Thanks again for your review.

There are several things we like about this Courtyard by Marriott, including accommodating, kind, helpful staff. The problem is the management. We were checked in by the front office manager ( Tara or Tesa, I am not sure of the correct spelling) and it was a disaster. She was irritated, unhelpful, had a bad attitude and was borderline rude. We received a Titanium upgrade on the top floor by a staff member through the mobile chat. We arrived at the hotel somewhere around 3pm and she said the suite on the 3rd floor will be ready at 4pm. We waited in a lobby with our luggage until 4pm and she handed us the keys to the room on the 2nd floor. She said that's all she has. Why then lie to us in a first place and guarantee a suite on the 3rd floor by 4pm? She asked if we want $10 credit to use on property or 500 points. We chose points and I politely asked her if we still get a couple bottles of waters. She rudely said "We don't give free water at this property" I said "That's okay" Our room was very noisy. Horrible noise was coming from the room above us all night and she did nothing to correct this. We were up all night. Next day the staff person moved us to the room on the 3rd floor and said we can move our stuff from the room on the 2nd floor when we come back from our errands / sightseeing, since the room on the 3rd floor wasn't ready yet anyway. Tara got involved and said that if we want to move, we have to take our stuff out of the room immediately. The options were to either load all our stuff to the car ( which we did) or to store it at the hotel's desk. I begged to give us at least 40 minutes and she agreed. The room on the 3rd floor was quiet and newer than the one on the 2nd floor, which had an old, dirty comforter, which obviously wasn't replaced during the remodel. The water machine at the fitness center was empty during both days and there was no towels at the fitness center. Since there was no water fountain on the property, it made it challenging.

Thank for leaving your review USATraveler365. We are sorry to see you did not enjoy your stay with us, that is never the intent. It appears a domino effect from a series of miscommunication's has caused this undesired outcome. We honestly get a lot of great feedback about our customer service, so this is a bit of a surprise. Nevertheless, we will improve from each review, including yours. We hope you will consider Courtyard by Marriott in your future travels.

The $12 a night parking fee is a very unusual and unwelcome charge for a suburban Marriott hotel. It's a hidden-fee trick worthy of a discount airline. I won't get fooled again...there are plenty of honest alternatives, Hilton, Choice, BW, etc.

The hotel is also not quite up to the typical Marriott neatness standards. E.g., unmatched curtains that don't fully close, some spots on bathroom walls, fridge badly needing defrosting.
