It was a new hotel, very clean. The staff was great the food very good.

Negatives: Nothing

Somehow I had not realized how literally this hotel was on the UD campus. When I checked in, the lobby was raucous with college students "brainstorming" and drinking beer, but they left (not sure whether "invited" to leave/quiet down before 11 or just did on their own.
As the last registrant of the evening, I was given a handicap room. Daunting to think (based on plumbing, etc.) what handicap travelers have to confront, and thankful hotels accommodate those needs. (And that I did not need those accommodations!) I chose to skip a shower to make housekeeping's job slightly easier the following day.
Positives: In beautiful setting.
Negatives: Hard to find - on edge of university campus embedded in residential area.

Hotel was very nice, looked new on the outside and inside. We stayed only a night but the experience was pleasant as expected.
Positives: Met expectations for cleanliness, comfort, service, etc.
Negatives: Not very close to interstate.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 03 Jan 2011 rated 7 out of 10.
Hotel is nice and clean with a friendly staff. Our room<BR/>was right in front of the elevator which rang everytime the elevator stopped. The back of the room was where the HVAC units were located and they ran continuously all night and the noise came through the glass sliders. I left the TV on low to drown out the noise.
Positives: Clean, bright, and comfortable. The staff was very friendly.
Negatives: The room itself was right in front of the elevator (ringing was a nuisance). Room over looked the HVAC units which ran constantly and could hear them.

Compares very favorably to other Courtyard Marriotts.
Positives: Location
Negatives: Breakfast choices.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Nov 2010 rated 9 out of 10.
Very clean and comfortable, good access to University and town of Newark, friendly staff. Priceline price represents a very good deal but I don't think I would pay full price.
Positives: Convenient to university.
Negatives: Had to wait too long for breakfast so I left and went somewhere else (also too expensive).
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 01 Oct 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Location. Hotel was in a very safe, quiet area. Nothing special about the room layout (standard double bed, TV, desk, vanity and bathroom). Loved the restaurant downstairs.
Positives: Hotel was clean, staff was professional and location was great.
Negatives: Air conditioner was not cool enough.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 16 Mar 2010 rated 10 out of 10.
Best hotel in the Newark area. I have had to stay at many hotels during the 4 years my son attended UDel. This one, run by UDel students, is by far the best in the area.
Positives: Immaculate. Attentive staff. Excellent location while visiting University of Delaware.
Negatives: Guest room doors slam closed. Very annoying to be woken up at all hours by slamming doors.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Oct 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 28 Sep 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Exceeded my expectations for a 2.5 star hotel. The hotel had free internet, free parking and $10 breakfast (hot/cold buffet and an egg/waffle station).
Positives: Courtyard by Marriott is an attractive alternative to paying for 4 star hotels.
Negatives: There is nothing I did not like about this hotel
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 19 Sep 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Better than many 4-star hotels I've stayed in; facilities looked so new I thought the hotel was barely a year old when, in fact, it has been around for at least 4 years, outstanding!
Positives: Excellent accommodations and service.
Negatives: Hard to see from the road.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 24 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Negatives: Very small pool, fitness center didn't allow kids.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
Exiting the hotel was extremely inconvenient! Had to drive all the way around the U of DE campus to get out. Staff was friendly. Hotel was very clean. We tried to conserve water but the housekeeper removed our towels (that were hanging to dry) daily.
Positives: Great breakfast buffet, nice adjoining rooms.
Negatives: Should've had a refrigerator and air conditioner cover fell off and scared the heck out of us!
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Negatives: No restaurant.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 31 May 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Easy to get to from the freeway, but hard to get from there to other places because of one-way streets. Definitely worth the hassle, though. I've never met a more friendly or helpful desk staff.
Positives: The staff was excellent, from the desk clerk to the housekeeping staff.
Negatives: I can't think of anything.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Great hotel, a bit out of the center of Newark. Only complaint was the prices of the snacks at the little snack area. A Capri Sun juice, which come in a box of 10 for $2 at the store, cost $3 for one pouch! Other than that, I would certainly stay again.
Positives: Very clean, nice lobby.
Negatives: The prices at the snack store were extremely high.
