This Courtyard had two things going for it: location and price. But there were other hotels in the Penn Quarter neighborhood which were much nicer comparable prices (try the Hotel Monaco two blocks away). This Courtyard was among the dreariest in the Marriott chain. It had small rooms with dull decor. It needed a good cleaning, too. The staff was disinterested. After 11PM, the front office staff or security were missing (i.e. you got in the hotel with your room key, so anyone could follow you in). The breakfast was forgettable and costly. Bottom line: Go to another hotel if you can afford to spend the extra $15-20.
