While most hotels in south Florida are overpriced in the winter...this one was no exception. the service was fine and the front desk staff was friendly. Rooms need to be overhauled. For as much as they charge for a room, you would think that they could replace the sign on the 2nd floor that displays "Ice and Vending" There is NO vending...just ice....lack of attention to details at a business is a pet peeve with me. I never have thought that the Marriott brand provided much value, and my mind has not changed.

This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel and it is a prefect hotel with sufficient services. The rooms were clean and large. The pool and the Jaccuzi were heated very well. When you book as k to have a room facing the pool on the upper floors.

When we walked in the room we were hit with a wall of sickly sweet floral smell. We opened the window and door to clear out the room, to no avail. I asked about changing rooms, but the only other one available had a similar problem. I was told that it was their policy to spray after the rooms are cleaned. We realized that part of the problem was the sheets had been sprayed so we ordered a new set of sheets and blankets and tossed the old ones in the hallway. Then we had an ozone machine overnight to get rid of the remaining smell. Are you kidding me? What are they thinking?
On the plus side - the bed was comfortable and it is a great location.

My husband and I had a 4-day stay here recently, and were generally happy with our experience, with the glaring exception of the fact that we had a flood in our bathroom every time we took a shower, and eventually had to change rooms mid-stay. Our request to remain in a first-floor room facing the lovely courtyard was honored, however, and the manager removed the charge for one of the nights of our stay. Our room was pleasant and clean, but in need of a paint job and general spiffing up. Like another reviewer, I was disappointed that there was not coffee available 24/7; I'm an early riser and have always enjoyed staying at Courtyard Marriotts and being able to sit in the lobby (or in warmer climes, outside in the courtyard) at about 5:30 AM with a cup of coffee & my laptop. But all in all, I'd give it a B+, with kudos to the staff who were consistently helpful and patient.
