Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 30 Dec 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

We really like this hotel for the holidays! - It is easy to find and central to many of our family and friends. The social spaces are beautifully decorated and adaptable - tables and chairs easy to move. The exercise and pool area are CLEAN and well-maintained. The staff is pleasant and attentive, and they serve a very good breakfast buffet.

Positives: Holiday times - Several attractive public spaces allowed us to socialize with small to medium size groups, also 24 hr free internet access helped!

Negatives: Sort of unfair, a boys hockey team was placed on 2nd floor, led to 1st, 2nd floor odor we noticed - maybe they could have been on higher floor.

It was a very nice hotel & I would stay there again but we didn't feel comfortable getting off and on the highway.

Positives: Very comfortable bed, clean room, nice furnishings, quiet.

Negatives: Getting to & from the hotel was scary. Very heavy traffic and had to pull out onto a busy highway that was on a blind curve.

Fine hotel. Good bed as is typical. This hotel is difficult to find even when calling for directions. The side of the hotel facing the hotel is considerably louder (traffic). Request a room on the other side as we did the second night and you'll rest much better. At check-in the woman was swamped. Did her best but too much for one person to handle! A hot buffet breakfast available for $8 or 9 - wish it were free. Overall, good experience.

Positives: Excellent bed.

Negatives: Needed more help at check in time.

Courtyard needs to have romantic packages such as candles being put in the room before guests arrive, rose petals on the bed along with a few other options.

Positives: Room was very comfortable & the atmosphere.

Negatives: Rooms should have a little more pizzas & romance.

Very clean, comfortable beds, quiet, pool area clean and well maintained, fitness center clean but one of the treadmills was not working. Staff friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Metro train station less than 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Very clean, comfortable beds, refrigerator in room.

Negatives: No complimentary breakfast; one of the treadmills not working.

Perfect for our stay. Reasonable lodging expense with easy access via metro to downtown Chicago. We'll do it again.

Positives: Easy access to metro & Oakbrook shopping and dining.

Negatives: Access from road (howdy 83) confusing and limited.

Signage from the stoplight was not clear how to get to the motel. This was true from the east and the south.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: The bed was disappointing-I was very sore the next day.

The pool was great, staff friendly, room neat and clean and spacious. Refrigerator in room but not a freezer combo and no microwave in room.

Positives: Friendly staff, free access to computers/printers.

Negatives: Only serves breakfast, and have to pay for it.

The hotel was very clean; recently updated, buffet breakfast was great and very reasonably priced. The location was off busy expressway, not easy to get in and out of parking lot but had many restaurants and shopping areas near by.

Positives: The buffet breakfast, reasonably priced, great quality.

Negatives: Not the greatest location.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Sep 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

Overall, this hotel was an excellent value. The pool, hot tub, and exercise room are nice. And the location is central to about everything in the Chicago area. My only suggestion is to avoid a room on the East side of the building. You get a sunny room in the morning and the traffic passing by on Route 83 is very loud.

Positives: All of the amenities one could need.

Negatives: Too much nearby traffic.

Very nice hotel The location was very important. There was a nice desk by the window and a coffee pot in the washroom.

Positives: Beautiful Room Decor.

Negatives: I wasn't informed about breakfast choices e.g. cereal, continental, hot etc.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 06 Aug 2006 rated 5 out of 10.

The hotel had no air in hall on my floor. The ice was out also. There was no lounge or restaurant, except for breakfast (which was good). Traveling with kids it is nice to be able to relax after a long drive and not have to get back into the car to eat. It was adequate for the price I paid, if I had to pay full price I would be very disappointed.

Positives: The bed was very comfortable.

Negatives: No air in hallway, no free breakfast, no lounge.

Convenient location to get into Chicago on Metro train or by car. Clean rooms. Hallways upstairs were hot, but they had fans moving air. Ice machine on 4th floor did not work at all. Breakfast was good; almost the same as the complimentary breakfasts at other Marriott's, but it cost about $8 for adults. Pool looked nice but no time to use it. I would stay there again if I got about the same price, and esp. if I wanted to go to the malls nearby or into the city by train.

Positives: Convenience to Metro train station to go into Chicago.

Negatives: Entry on access road is poorly marked; also needed directions to return to hotel from train station that did not involve driving for 3 mi on 1-way to.

Physically very nice, clean, good employees. Lousy location, hard to get into/out of. Site of teens gathering. Some mechanical problems in room. Tube very hard to get out of. I broke the tub handle.

Positives: N/A

Negatives: Police came, rowdy teens/beer/noise, big group did not respect others.

Positives: Staff was very professional, informative, courteous.

Negatives: Getting in and out of parking lot.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 09 Jul 2006 rated 10 out of 10.
