• The staff was very friendly.
• The room was a disappointment.

“We were not impressed with this hotel at all. There was no shampoo or Kleenex in the room (or any other toiletries besides a bar of soap.) There was a towel draped over the smoke detector the entire 4 days we were there and the room smelled like smoke. I had added an extra day yet our key did not work the last day and the front desk called to see when we were checking out. Breakfast was way overpriced and there was no free Continental breakfast which we have come to expect from most hotels these days.”

• Location and price were perfect.
• Computer wired service was "very low".

“Very nice hotel but going through a renovation. They have done a good job of keeping the dust down and guess the prices are down a bit while they are doing this. Only 1 1/2 miles from the Duke Med center.”

• well kept clean rooms
• check in was 1 hour late, no linens for the pull out sofa

“I would likely not stay at this hotel again. The reservation was set for two days and they wanted us to move rooms after the first day. Not having the necessary linens for the room made sleeping very difficult. The late check in was a major issue, they kept putting people in ahead of us even though I called early in the day to let them know when we would arrive. Standard check in was 3:00pm, we did not gain access to our rooms until 4:15pm.”

• Clean and quiet.
• No complimentary continental breakfast.

“Overall I like the quality and service of the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. I didn't think that you could find a hotel that did not provide a complimentary continental breakfast. But I was wrong.
I was also slightly disappointed that they did not have an indoor pool. But I guess they don't have the weather MI does.”

• Very clean and quiet. Easy to locate from major highway.
• Room keys had to be re-programmed on 3 different occasions due to staff error or defective key.

“The Marriott Courtyard is easily accessible. Despite being located right off a major highway, the atmosphere in the hotel was still quiet/serene and the staff was very cordial.”

“Patrick at the front desk was extremely helpful. The room needed Febreeze, also had a strong smell of deodorizer. Good location.”
