While it is obvious that the lobby was recently renovated, I went to two different rooms on the second floor and found both of them to be rather dingy. This hotel is showing it's age and both of the rooms I went to had a musky odor and the carpet was in poor repair. As a business traveler, this hotel failed to meet my expectations. The rooms didn't appear dirty, just old.

You can't beat the Courtyard by Marriott in East Wichita, KS. They have very nice room, some with a hot tub in the room! They have a nice swimming pool and hot tub, just off the lobby as well. Laundry facilities are available - they give you free laundry detergent and bounce at the front desk! Breakfast is available from buffet or some items are made to order. No other meals are available except breakfast. Small concession stand for a few items and drinks in lobby. Rooms are very nice, standard Marriott. Beds are great, and plenty of pillows.

This Hotel is like most Courtyard hotels; business person focused with basic amenities. Room was large and clean. Window could be opened for fresh air (and to avoid drone of A/C unit. There were abundant restaurants nearby. Currently this Hotel is undergoing renovations so both the restaurant and exercise room were not open/available. Hotel is providing complimentary breakfast until restaurant opens again. Breakfast consisted of cereals, oatmeal, Danish & fruit. Despite renovation issues, I would stay here again if in the area.

While there is no shopping or restaurants near this location, it is an easy on and off of Highway 69. Close to Rock Road (food and shopping), Oliver (WSU's Metroplex) and Hillside (Riordan Clinic & WSU). I was rather surprised to see the lobby and restaurant were being gutted and the front desk was moved to the side door entrance. The $8.95 breakfast didn't look much better than what you get for free at Fairfield, but I didn't eat it; so, nothing to evaluate. I'd think that for the remodeling inconvenience they could afford to comp a Marriott member the breakfast.

The staff are wonderful! Each and every one of them that interacted with were friendly and helpful. I got the type of room I requested.
