Hotel is right off the fwy for easy access, near restaurants and a starbucks and about 30 mins from the beach. Room was clean. Front desk staff was helpful and very nice. Pool area is small but functional for one day. Would stay here again.

I hated the fact that the indications to park were very confusing. I didn't know where I was supposed to park . When you arrive after a long drive you don't want to start looking for a place to park and worry that you might be penalized because you parked in the wrong place. Thank you for reading this .

I always enjoy a clean, comfortable, and affordable hotel. Parking was safe. I didn’t notice too many transients around. Starbucks across the street opens at 5am for those early starters like me. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had an issue with a Courtyard by Marriott. My trips are usually for business.

I would of wanted a hot tub and the outdoor pool to be heated. Great customer service though. My mom left her reading glasses in the room and staff shipped the glasses to my home, received glasses 5 days after checking out of hotel. Overall, area is quite felt safe and there's Starbucks coffee in hotel as well as across the street and restaurants.

Beware of excessive parking fees
This hotel is nice. Pool is small, but clean. Gym is excellent—tons of space and new-ish equipment. My big problem is the $22/day for parking. It isn’t a downtown location, and parking isn’t secure or anything, so I don’t understand the fees. I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels, and many with parking fees, but the parking fees here seem completely unnecessary, and $22/day is way too much for this location.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023
Response from RK-GM on 8 Jul 2023
Dave thanks for the feedback. Please understand in regards to parking first ours is the least expensive in the immediate area including the two closet to us in the complex. Also the fees are disclose on all websites. As for being secured it is monitored by the security within complex and our parking management company. We hope to see you back soon.

Banning outside food and drink is inhospitable to the many people who can't or chose not to eat what you serve in your restaurants, at your schedule and your prices, in a district that is a food desert on weekends and after hours.

While we do not allow outside food in our Bistro area when it is open, we most certainly do not mind if you enjoy it in our large lobby space with a large screen TV and comfortable seating.
