I recently stayed at this Courtyard Marriott, and unfortunately, the experience was far from restful. The beds were lumpy, the sheets were low quality and refused to stay in place, and the pillows offered no comfort. The hotel is in desperate need of a renovation, ideally led by someone who understands the demands of hospitality and durable furnishings.
While the location is undeniably great, a hotel stay should provide a comfortable place to sleep—something this property fails to deliver. The air conditioner was excessively loud, making sleep even more difficult. The breakfast, despite its hefty price tag, was no better than a basic continental spread. Given the high costs for parking (snuck the fee in after check-in), breakfast, and the stay itself, the quality should be significantly better.
The surrounding area offers plenty within walking distance and access to the boardwalk, but if you're looking for a restful place to recharge during your vacation, this hotel is not it. Expect sore backs and sleepless nights unless substantial improvements are made.
