A great place to stay in St. Jacobs
Pros:

When we decided to stay overnight in St. Jacobs, we were surprised by the number of hotels near the farmer’s market. We evaluated several options based on their ratings and prices for the day of our stay. The Courtyard Marriott was one of the final three hotels on our list. Having stayed in various hotels within this chain before, we had always been satisfied, so we decided to book a room there for the night. We were not disappointed.
The staff at the hotel were fantastic—friendly and eager to assist with even the smallest requests, such as providing a bandage for a guest in need. While it would have been nice to check in early, we understood that the previous night had been completely sold out, and rooms were still being vacated when we arrived. Instead of the usual “no,” the staff explained the situation politely.
The room itself was clean and spacious, and the lobby was inviting, offering a relaxing space to sit while we waited for our room. We appreciated that there was a dining option available, and we decided to go there in the evening for a nightcap. The server was exceptional, providing detailed explanations of the whiskeys that were available.
Although the Courtyard Marriott is not the least expensive hotel in the area, we believe it offers great value. If we return to St. Jacobs, we would definitely choose to stay there again.
