A Courtyard by any other name
I'm a big Marriott fan - they're definitely my preferred chain. Normally, a Courtyard is a solid and consistent choice. However this one fell short in too many areas.
First, it was blistering hot. The common areas were not climate controlled. It's not fun when you wait less than five minutes in the lobby to meet a dinner date and you've already sweated through your clothes. The HVAC in the room was unable to pull the temperature below 80 degrees. This wasn't unique to me, a number of my colleagues had the same issues. Some relocated to another Marriott 20 minutes away.
This isn't a purpose built Courtyard. It was a sketch motel that was bought by Marriott and converted into a Courtyard. It still feels old and some areas are musty, probably due to the lack of decent HVAC.
I was called very early one Sunday morning by a staff member that my taxi had arrived. The only problem was I didn't send for one. The person then started arguing with me about whether I had called for a taxi. Really? 
In it's defense, the staff was friendly except for that one clueless episode. The chambermaid was excellent, the room stayed spotless, especially the bathroom which is critical for me. The food is better than the usual Courtyard, although the restaurant has odd hours. Check them upon arrival and plan accordingly. My room was very quiet...I was on the side opposite the highway.
I'd give a 2.5 if possible. I wouldn't rate it 'poor (2)' but it doesn't deserve 'average (3)'.
