“Decent, can be better”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I stayed here for business, two nights each for two weeks. I got a business rate, which is probably cheaper than their regular online rate. The good: bed is very comfortable, which makes for a decent night sleep, especially when the next day is a long workday; front desk service is fast and prompt; it's extremely close to major businesses. The not-so-good: rooms are very outdated; heating/air is unstable---cold one minute, warm the next; room walls are a bit thin (was able to hear my next door neighbor snore).

Would I stay here again? Yes...for business, being that it's so convenient. But, probably not for family.

“Cold indoor pool, lot of extra costs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

Indoor pool has no heat, so it's freezing cold. No free breakfast. Room was fine and quiet.

“UDel Weekend”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

Stayed here for parents weekend because it was on the University of Delaware site. There is no refrigerator, the wi-fi is spotty, and sometimes just gone, the sink and the shower were clogged, the towels were like sand paper. Not the hotel's fault, but a future deterrent, nonetheless, is the fact that the hotel is not only 20 miles from the school, but, with traffic, it's a 40 minute drive, and expensive. Also, the air conditioner is an old fashioned loud kind that the thermostat doesn't work so if you turn it on, it keeps cooling until you are freezing.

“Good Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Hotel lobby has wonderful decor, newly renovated. Trendy furniture, large screen TV, and they have a Starbucks cafe in the lobby that opens early and closes pretty late at night. Hotel staff was wonderful, friendly and very helpful. The rooms are adequate, well kept and clean, but furniture is outdated and in need of a face lift.

“Beyond Good Customer Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

It is a rare delight to travel on business and stay at a chain hotel who 'gets it' about customer service. This Courtyard worked seamlessly to provide customer delight. It was great. I tend to be jaded anymore about hotels--the customer service is usually sad, trite and rote...not so at this Courtyard. Everyone seemed to be interested in making sure I was comfortable and paid attention to me as a traveler.

A shout out to ALL the staff, but a special shout out to Michael. Thanks for treating me like a welcome guest. I will return when in the area. You made me smile.

Room Tip: ask for a room on the back side with a balconey
