"We stayed 3 nights and the room was not cleaned once even after we made a special request that it be done. I asked for 4 sets of extra towels and we were only given two. There were no luggage carts available as we were checking out. The breakfast was never fully stocked. Trash bins around the hotel were always full. The carpet needed vacuuming. The coffee/tea area was always dirty."
"Breakfast buffet daily along with a daily dinner buffet and 3 complimentary alcoholic drinks per dinner (I don't drink but this was very impressive)
We enjoyed the pool and hotub daily. Great stay I would stay here again in the future even though it was an hour from our family we were visiting."

"What I did NOT like.
During check-in, I happened to overhear the receptionist explaining government rates and ID requirements to the guest ahead of me. As a government civilian employee, I asked—mostly out of curiosity—whether any such rates or considerations might apply in my case, while also noting that I had booked through Expedia and understood if they did not.
The response I received left me somewhat uncomfortable. I was told there has been abuse of government ID usage and that stricter enforcement may be coming. While I understand and respect the need for policies and preventing misuse, the tone of the interaction made me feel as though my inquiry was being viewed with suspicion rather than as a simple question. This was a personal trip, and I was not attempting to improperly seek benefits—only asking for clarification.
To be fair, the receptionist remained generally polite throughout the interaction, and I completed check-in without issue. However, the exchange left me disappointed, as the manner in which it was communicated felt unnecessarily dismissive."
"I've stayed at the Courtyard by Marriot in Short Pump several times. The location is excellent. It's close to good shopping, nice restaurants and most important my mom's assisted living facility. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And the rooms are very comfortable. It's a great stay particularly for what they charge."
"Our room was gross. There were hand prints on the door. Dirty towels folded like they were clean. Marks all over the walls. Peeling wallpaper. The AC was out in the lobby/breakfast area. The fitness room was dated, dirty, no towels and broken equipment. We were only given 2 towels for 3 people the entire stay. When I asked for additional towels, I was given an attitude. When I explained the room situation I did not get an apology. Nice location."
