My husband and I stayed at the Couryard Marriott in Hunt Valley for a wedding the first weekend in October. The hotel is in a great location right off of I-83 and very easy to find. It is also located right down from a big shopping area with a fabulous grocery store, Wegmans and lots of name band stores.

Check-In was a breeze. Check in is at 3:00pm. We arrived at 1:30pm and our room was ready and we were albe to check right in. We were on the 1st floor. The hotel is very spread out, however they have many entry locations closer to the rooms so you are able to park down by the entry and enter closer to your room.

Our room was clean and adequate. We were sharing with another couple and there was plenty of room for all of us. Bathroom arrangement was nice. The shower and toilet were in one area with a door and the sink and counter was outside. It was nice with all of us getting ready to have seperate areas.

We were out late for the wedding and slept later into the morning so we did not take advantage of the free breakfast in the morning, but they have an area in the lobby where you can buy juices and water etc. That was nice to have around 11am. What was even better was that many chain hotels we have stayed in have maid service knocking first thing in the morning. Maid service did not bother us and we were able to stay in our room and get ready and check out with out a bother. Check out was at noon and was also just as easy. They prepare a bill for you and you can just leave the keys in your room. Or we went to the desk and had them split the charges. They were very accomodating.

We would def stay at this Marriott again and reccomentd it to others.

Stayed here Sep 11-13 for a business meeting. The hotel staff were rude upon check-in. They had me listed as checking on on the 10th and checking out on the 12th. When I checked in on the 11th, the front desk clerk asked very abruptly, "Where were you yesterday? You were supposed to check in." I was a little taken aback. The hotel did fix my check-in and check-out dates, though.

The hotel is quite spread out and all the hallways look the same. I got lost quite a few times trying to get back to my room.

The room was quite small with 2 double beds instead of 2 queen beds.

The hotel is entirely non-smoking -- a plus in my book.

The beds were comfortable and the amenities satisfactory.

It took housekeeping until late afternoon to finally make it to our room to make it up.

The food we had for our business meetings was quite good. Far above average as far as hotel food goes.

Stayed 3 nights. We lived 3 miles away for 13 years, and moved 700 miles south in 2004, so we know the hotel and the area. It's true that you cannot walk to anything nearby but we really didn't care.

Got this on Priceline for $80 plus tax per night, web rate was $120. I've had Marriott via Priceline several times, and can say they treat you no differently whatsoever. Our check-in was a good combination of quick, friendly, and professional. I asked for a King bed room but they had none - my fault as I should have called when I reserved - Marriott has always honored my request for a king room. Got 2 doubles. We did have a great location overlooking the pool area, and a nice tree just outside to filter the view and give privacy w/o drawing curtains.

In the morning, I'm walking thru the lobby, and the guy who checked me in calls to me by name. He asks if everything is ok with my stay. I tell him great, I just wish I had called to get a king bed. He pokes on his keyboard and says if I can return about noon, he might be able to help me. Sure enough, at noon he gives me a key and a map, and says I can move to this room if I like, it is the only king room that is available. It's one of the much larger, premium priced king rooms and sure I like it. It's incredible to me that this guy would do this for us, they would have almost certainly rented it for more money.

Everything was clean, rooms were well equipped and tended, and never heard a sound from the hallway or another room the entire stay. Nice bath with a shower that had a good flow and constant temp. The first room was just a tad cramped but nothing to complain about. At $80, a great bargin. Even at $120 it's a deal. You could walk around the hotel and find some slightly dirty spots on the carpet, maybe even a stain. The stairways smelled a little dank - the walls are real brick. Frankly, I don't want to spend $250 a night to ensure there's not a single defect in the entire place.

We did go to the bar on Saturday night, to find one bartender who was absolutely slammed. We did get a few beers, took a while, and I guess I could deduct a point for this. Bottom line is, I'll happily pay $80 a night for this any time.

If you need 4 star quality, and a lot of glitter, you may be disppointed. If a solid 3-star place, clean, quiet, comfortable, with a competent and friendly staff, at a more than reasonable cost, is to your liking, this is the place.

Family Friendly property near hershey was a good value and a nice stay. The Helpful staff and nice amenities made up for being a older property
