Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 18 Jul 2011 rated 2 out of 10.

I would not have chosen to stay at this hotel. The front doors did not open automatically; there was no sidewalk around the perimeter of the building even though there was parking around the perimeter; the hallways were narrow giving a claustrophobic feeling...narrow enough that it was difficult to pass the cleaner's cart; there was no in-hotel restaurant, and the desk clerk didn't know how to describe the route to the cluster of restaurants nearby; the breakfast area was confusing and the food was uninspired; and the business area was cramped and not up to the need.

Positives: The hotel employs developmentally handicapped people for housekeeping services.

Negatives: Entrance doors did not open automatically...no handicapped entrance.

Located adjacent to many restaurants and the only major mall in Topeka, this Marriott Courtyard is convenient and well-managed. Check-in was quick and easy. The room size was ample and the room and hotel were spotless. Parking is free and convenient.

Positives: It's a Marriott! Everything is perfect, from check-in to check-out.

Negatives: This hotel is perfect. No complaints whatsoever.

The Courtyard By Marriott Topeka (in Topeka, KS) is a nice facility, easy to get to, clean, comfortable, offering free wireless internet and a smidge up-scale to boot. Wish they provided a complimentary continental breakfast.

Positives: Nice location. Comfortable night of rest. Nice motel.

Negatives: No complimentary continental breakfast.

It was hard to find this hotel! I knew where it was supposed to be, but when I went to the location where I expected to see it, I couldn't see it while I was driving. It is well back from the road, and one has to enter the parking lot for a shopping center to get to it. Also while the buffet breakfast was first-class, there was no sign indicating that it wasn't free - it cost me and my wife over $9 each. This was a surprise, because I had stayed the previous night in another Marriott property, Springhill Suites, that has a great - and free - buffet breakfast. Especially since free continental breakfasts are so commonly available even for some 1-star motels, I think the hotel owes it to their guests before they sit down to make it clear that they have to pay. On the plus side, there is an indoor pool (small, 5-foot depth maximum) and exercise room and the accommodations are quite comfortable.

Positives: The buffet breakfast was superb.

Negatives: Unlike other Marriott properties (e.g. Springhill Suites) the continental breakfast was not free.

Overall it was a great experience. I asked the front desk guy for a late check out and he had the deer in the head lights look. He had no clue what to say. Other than that, we loved the place and the beds were so comfortable!

Positives: Indoor pool.

Negatives: No late check out.

The hotel was in a great location respective to restaurants, shopping and highways. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I found the breakfast buffet to be overpriced and feel it should have been included in the price of the room (although my husband did ask for comp tickets and they gave us 2 for the first night's stay). The only complaint I have is that housekeeping woke us up at 9:00 am pounding on the door the day we were to check out! Even the economy hotels leave you alone the day you check out.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Housekeeping pounding on the door the day we checked out.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It was clean and well kept. There was a nice patio that if it had been nice out would have been great to sit on. There wasn't a fridge in the room as I had thought I had seen advertisement which was disappointing.

Positives: I loved the spaciousness of the room. I liked the facilities (workout room and pool). It was in a good location.

Negatives: There wasn't a fridge in the room.

I thought the hotel was very nice for the star level rating of a 2.5. I think it was underrated. It appeared to be newer. It was clean. The decor was nice and inviting. The staff was very helpful. We were in town for an athletic tournament. The hotel was full, but the staff was on top of it. Rooms were roomy and comfortable for a hotel of its class.

Positives: It was an attractive, clean hotel. It offered a nice breakfast buffet/menu and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Negatives: Pool area and hot tub could have been a little cleaner. Earlier guests had left trash, etc. that staff should have been more timely on cleaning.
