Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Sadly this Courtyard does not get the glowing reviews that so many of its sister properties enjoy. Several guests said it was an okay experience but not what they expected from a Courtyard. The hotel gets its YES rating thanks to its spacious accommodation and affordable rates. The computer and printer available for guest use in the lobby was another plus. The major problem seems to be the need for some improvement in housekeeping. Few guests said they would return to this hotel, but thought they would try another hotel the next time they were in town.
