Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 17 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

For my business needs, the hotel was a very good value. I think the rooms were spacious and it was nice to have the small balcony. The rooms had a fridge which I don't believe was mentioned on Price line. I do think the carpet in the hallways and the room could be better vacuumed, but other than that, the rooms were clean. The shower pressure was weaker than I would have liked. I did ask for the shower head to be cleaned to help with this problem. Unfortunately the shower pressure remained the same. Nice, friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again.

Positives: Nice outside pool area. Complimentary coffee. In room fridge. Nice little balcony.

Negatives: Hallways could have been cleaner. Big mustard stain on carpet outside room and something like blood on drapes. Poor shower pressure.

This hotel was great and I would love to stay there in the future. It was very close to a shopping area and good restaurants and not far from the Hollywood Hard Rock Casino and Nova Southeastern University. There is a very nice outlet mall less than 15 minutes away. The rooms were clean, comfortable and had both a coffeemaker and a small refrigerator (in a cabinet under the TV.) I didn't use it, but was told there was a shuttle available to go to the airport or the cruise port (about 15 minutes away if you don't go during rush hour.) The staff was friendly and accommodating with special requests, such as late check-out.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean, comfortable and close to shopping and restaurants.

Negatives: Nothing, it was great.

Great hotel!

Positives: Good room, very clean public area, great quality coffee available 24/7.

Negatives: Driving to this location can be a real pain depending on which direction you are traveling, even my GPS couldn't find it sometimes.

The checkout clerk seemed new and took an unreasonably long time (35 minutes)checking us out when we had a 7am flight to catch after rental return.<BR/>This &quot;Marriott&quot; is just like a Days inn. There was often large groups of young cuban children hoarding the computers. Pool is small, but usable, no great landscape/view. It was close to highways and basically met our needs, no &quot;wow&quot; factor.

Positives: Off the beach, but close to everything via highway.

Negatives: I

Courtyard by Marriott is always the place to make me feel comfortable to live in with friendly staff, cleanliness of rooms, comfortable linen, full-size bed of a double-bed room, moderate rate, and coffee provided at the lobby. I like the hotel.

This is a very average hotel. It needs to be renovated both on the exterior and interior looks to be comparable to other Courtyards.

Positives: Hotel is clean and in a decent area. The staff is friendly as well.

Negatives: Definitely not a 3.5 star hotel. This place needs renovations and updates.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 15 Feb 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

I was very happy for the selection - first time I used Priceline and am very enthusiastic with the results and reporting this to all my friends. I am a Marriott frequent user and this met all my expectations.

Positives: Very helpful, good WiFi help connection -- good parking near room.

Negatives: All was very good.

The hotel overall was nice and provided nice accommodations. I would use it again.

Positives: Location was perfect for my needs close to shopping, restaurants, etc.

Negatives: On a couple of days, trash was missed or the ice bucket was left with water and empty bottles in it.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 13 Jan 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

This hotel is actually substantially fine. The only thing I disliked is the fact that they did not offer complimentary breakfast! Only the coffee and tea is free.

The other major complaint of mine is that the hotel is very hard to find, which can be easily corrected by putting a sign on the closest main road (University Dr.). The names of the some of the other hotels nearby appear on the main sign of the plaza except this hotel's!

Other than that, it's very clean and the staff seems professional and courteous.

Positives: Close to Nova Southeastern University.

Negatives: No complimentary breakfast. Construction. Very hard to find.

Positives: Excellent value, consistent Marriott sure and steady.

Negatives: Too much construction in the area.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Jan 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

The room was a standard Courtyard room which is why I choose Courtyard. The staff was friendly and the location was easy to get to from the airport.

Positives: It was convenient for who we were meeting the next day.

Negatives: Really nothing, the signature on University Ave.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 18 Jan 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Nice if you just need a bed for a night or two - we didn't need more, so it was okay.

Positives: Good location, restaurant recommendations.

Negatives: The style and equipment of the room were a bit old.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 04 Sep 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

The location (Plantation FL) very convenient to all things in Fort Lauderdale area, including airport. It is right behind the Broward Mall and lots of restaurants right there. Some construction behind hotel. Our goal was to find a place to sleep. We did not need resort or high service place. Excellent for those who day-trip around South Florida!

Positives: Very kind staff. Very attentive and courteous.

Negatives: Bathroom could use more cleaning.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 19 Mar 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Its really good place for the price. Staff is very friendly. There is free public use computer in the lobby which is very useful but some people tend to hog them. Gym is tiny. The spa is fun. Very clean, nice place. Nothing spectacular but serves quite well when you just in town for business.

Positives: I liked the spa, the staff was very helpful whenever I needed something.

Negatives: Only 1 washing machine. Some rooms are small.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 17 Feb 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I found this hotel very clean. It was a little difficult at first to find. It was in a nice area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was only one restaurant in the area open after 10 pm. The restaurant we did find had very good food.

Positives: Met expectations.

Negatives: Not enough restaurants in vicinity open after ten at night.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 15 Feb 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Generally I was pleased with this hotel. My main concern was that the pool area and courtyard was neglected. The swimming pool was unkept and had debris in it, so I avoided using it. Many of the pool-side rooms had yellow tapes across the exterior sliding doors. They had painted some of the walkways with beige paint (the walkways are concrete color) and the freshly painted "patches" were not always marked. One morning, I accidentally stepped on a painted patch and got fresh wet paint on the soles of my shoes.

Positives: Free high-speed internet, free parking.

Negatives: The pool area is sub-standard, unkept and needs work.

This hotel was not that fancy but it had everything you would need. Staff is really friendly. Rooms look pretty new. Upscale-ish. Highly recommend.

Positives: The staff was really friendly. I had to switch rooms and the manager took care of it immediately and was very professional. Really good place to stay.

Negatives: The first room I got into was smoky smelling. The king size bedrooms are kind of small.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 18 Oct 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel was a great choice. Close to the high way, and in walking distance of the Broward Mall and University Ave. The rooms were very clean and furniture was modern. I would stay here again.

Positives: Clean, very happy when its clean!

Negatives: A little difficult to navigate the entrance of hotel since its behind a mall.
