Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 06 May 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

My airport pick up was quick and easy and the hotel appeared to be less than 2 years old. The design was new and the staff was excellent. It sits in a lot next to the "Sport Fishing" museum, and a huge Pro Bass Sports Superstore, which was fun to walk through to kill time.

Positives: Newer hotel so all of it was nice.

Negatives: Nothing to note, all was excellent.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 16 Apr 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

The staff was excellent; from check in to check out and a few questions in between. Room was spacious and clean. Kids enjoyed the pool. Business center and wi fi were a very convenient. No complaints!

Positives: Very clean, nice rooms, great helpful staff, everything seemed "easy" business center wasn't a hassle, no charge for wifi was very nice.

Negatives: Expected it closer to ft.Lauderdale.

Hotel was clean and close to Miami airport. The front desk suggested the fish restaurant which we walked to and menu was better than Courtyard's pre-packaged dinner. We did not try the Courtyard's food, but looked OK if no other alternative.

Positives: It was close to airport and was clean.

Negatives: We did not care for the restaurant, everything looked pre-packaged. It was not open at time we left for airport.

We were only there one night, so our experience was limited. I would stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Positives: Cleanliness

Negatives: restaurant

The train is probably convenient for some travelers but we were not aware that it existed. We had to get up very early the next morning so sleeping was not easy with all the noise. If we had known we could have asked for a room on the other side of the hotel away from the train. Very thing else was up to our expectations.

Positives: Very clean with an attractive appearance.

Negatives: Unfortunately a commuter train was right out front of the hotel. Kept waking us up.

The hotel is beautiful with a great location. The staff is very courteous & helpful.

Positives: Excellent location with courteous & friendly staff.

Negatives: Slightly misled about dining services.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 21 Jan 2011 rated 1 out of 10.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. As a matter of fact I am going to contact the Marriott corporate office about the poor service and dirty common areas.

Positives: Convenience to the airport.

Negatives: Common areas and dining areas were dirty, and the bar didn't even have Vodka. They ran out and wouldn't have any until the next day. We had a warm beer.

This hotel was nice for my stay with the acception of someone smoking in their room during the peek of check-in/out and nobody was able to see who was smoking.

Positives: The hotel was nice & clean & the staff was friendly too.

Negatives: I did not like that the TV only had a few cable channels & no microwave in the room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 18 Apr 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

I found this hotel an excellent buy, especially for the Miami area. We have stayed in Miami many times, but this was our best experience. The room is very spacious, especially for our multi-day stay. We had a great time.

Positives: The room was spacious and very livable.

Negatives: Having a microwave in the room would have been more convenient.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 17 Apr 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Decent hotel for the money. Only one restaurant near by and they do not shuttle to mall or other restaurant. No breakfast for early fliers or no shuttle for early flights.

Positives: Bed was comfortable.

Negatives: Location and no shuttle to airport early in a.m.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 15 Apr 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Negatives: Minimal. Enjoyed my stay.

Can't recommend at all due to this one issue. Shuttle service is a must from the airport and also to the cruise area.

Positives: The morning staff was helpful.

Negatives: Find another hotel to use for shuttle service.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 27 Feb 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Checked us in at 11 am and it was obviously very full the night before! Great shuttle service, great location. Nice pool area.

Positives: Location, shuttle.

Negatives: Crowded.

Everything was great except for the constant sound of the train right outside the window!

Great clean, modern hotel with a nice pool area. Ample parking. Would stay here the next time we are in town.

Positives: Ideal location to the airport or port. Loved the complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby. A good restaurant and store next door.

Negatives: A little traffic noise.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 31 Jan 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Clean hotel with good parking. Downside is the noise from the trains at night that stop at the station beside the hotel. It will definitely wake you at night on the train side of the hotel.

Positives: Clean. Easy self parking.

Negatives: Location near the train stop makes it noisy throughout the night.

I saw in another review they had a problem with hot water but I just thought that might of just been there room. Well I am now thinking it is a hotel problem.

Positives: Convienent to airport and port.

Negatives: Didn't have time to call to change rooms in the morning to take a shower.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Jan 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Hotel staff was outstanding. Rooms, lobby, etc were great. Only drawback is that the hotel is in an area with only one restaurant within walking distance and nothing really to do. One more drawback is that although the hotel offers a continental-type breakfast, they charge $10/each for it instead of offering it free like most other hotels do.

Positives: Staff was excellent!

Negatives: Hotel was not in an area where there were any restaurants or anything to do.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 08 Jan 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

The train that runs past to Fort Lauderdale operates between 6am to 11pm. The nearby highway operates all night. The hotel seems quiet because you can't hear anything above the external noise. Bring your earplugs and learn to lip read TV actors !

Positives: Close to cruise port, FLL Airport.

Negatives: Noisy. The train that runs past to Fort Lauderdale operates between 6am to 11pm. The highway operates all night.

Go place to stay by airport for overnight, nothing to write home about, but no complaints either.

Positives: Shuttle to airport.

Negatives: 80's.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 16 May 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

It is very close to the airport with a complimentary shuttle service that is easy to use. The room was what I expected and the bed was comfortable. The only downside to this place is that there are no food choices within walking distance leaving little choice for dining.

Positives: It was very close to the airport and the staff was great.

Negatives: There was no where to eat near the hotel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 08 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Enjoyable and cozy.

Positives: Free shuttle to the airport, walking distance to tri-rail, free tea and coffee in lobby.

Negatives: No complimentary breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 03 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

My husband and I had a great time there. We will recommended. It is nice, quiet, clean, friendly, very comfortable rooms, but the directions needs to be improved. We got lost many times.

Positives: Location clean and comfortable.

Negatives: It was a little tricky to arrived there, it needs a signal in the express way, because it is not visible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 26 Apr 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Asked for towels twice, they never came. We had to go downstairs and get them.

Positives: Close to airport.

Negatives: Charged for local calls.
