Reliable stay, with exceptional staff!
Pros:

Staff were friendly and very helpful. Property was clean. Gym was well out-fitted. Value was good!

Cons:

Location was a bit remote and hard to walk around to local places. We couldn't find a safe way to walk across the highway to get to waffle house when we woke up at 9:30am and breakfast was closed. Shopping mall nearby was closed and deserted.

Stellar staff
Pros:

The staff at this Courtyard location were superb. Kiki, Janice, and Kasi went above and beyond in getting myself and my husband settled in and making sure we had what we needed. Our room was comfortable and relaxing. A restful place to return to.

I'd look for a better, less expensive place next time.
Cons:

Very, very expensive for an older, so-so place. Almost $300 a night and no breakfast?

Zeer goede kamer en parking voor de wagen. Ontbijt viel tegen
Pros:

Zeer goede kamer, zeer goed bed en kussens, rustige locatie, grote parking

Cons:

Ik had betaald voor ontbijt, maar dat bleek enkel 1 sandwich of croissant te zijn met een koffie. Dat viel heel erg tegen. Ik heb er uiteindelijk nog een Greek yoghurt bij gekregen. Het fruit dat ik vroeg moest ik bij betalen.

Well lit room can sometimes disrupt sleep
Pros:

Staff friendly. Parking plentiful. Room size good. Like that sink area outside shower / toilet area.

Cons:

#1- location is a bit awkward.... next to a deserted mall on "Fashion Square Dr."
#2- EVERY room has motion detection lights in the entrance area and the sink area. If you use the toilet area during the night these lights automatically come on, flooding the room with light. Disturbing to any partner that might still be trying to sleep during the night. Not a fan.

Disappointed, very disappointed..
Pros:

The room was clean and spacious.

Cons:

There were several hidden charges which disturbed us. The website says breakfast but then two cups of coffee and two microwaved breakfast sandwiches cost us $30. As I reviews my bill, I saw I was charged $10. A night for parking. WT actual F?? Very disappointing.. we travel often and just recently began using Marriotts. NEVER AGAIN will we stay at a courtyard.. we are in a Townplace Suites by Marriott today and what a difference. The rooms are like little apts, complete with kitchen , plenty of closet space and FREE full breakfast. And the base room price is about 40 less. Ridiculous! NEVER AGAIN..

Pros:

Business trip - Bottom of the Marriott for sure
Parking - not accommodating
Access entry - not accessible easily for unloading or loading
Parking surrounds the building with minimal entry for easy access
81* in hallways that are not easily accessible and long walkway paths to your rooms
Bottom of the Marriott chain for sure

Friendly staff and good location
Pros:

We stayed here for UVA graduation 2026. It provided everything we needed - easy distance to UVA, clean and quiet rooms, plenty of parking. Austin did a fabulous job of getting us checked in early and April was super friendly and attentive in the Bistro. We really appreciated how they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and appreciated as Marriott customers!

Nice room but Poor design and amenities
Pros:

The room was very nice, clean and well appointed and only a short drive from the university and downtown. The hotel building is poorly designed and is a maze to navigate. The elevator is located at the opposite end of the hotel from the front desk!There is no free breakfast and the bistro food consists of microwaved breakfast sandwiches that are outrageously overpriced.

Staff went above.
Pros:

Hotel was clean. Our courtyard balcony was missing the chair and Janice made sure we got not one but 2 chairs.
Hate that there is no coffee service at this hotel and your only choice is Starbucks. Yes I don't trust the coffee makers in the room. Also would be nice if there was a choice for firmer pillows.
