We had a great stay at Courtyard Marriot. The only issue was that our room was NOT ready for check-in at the scheduled check-in time and we had to wait about a half hour to access our room. The pool was nice. The Firepit area was a nice amenity.

Horrible experience
The stay was horrible. The room smelled so bad we had to change it. The second room they gave us smelled horrible too. We had allergic reaction to beds because they probably never wash the pillows or the comforter.

This hotel is very clean, nice, has that “newer” feel. I love the parking garage and how close it is to the boardwalk. It makes walking the easy option for things to do in the immediate area, and with valet service you don’t worry about leaving and finding a spot when you come back. Staff is friendly. Breakfast burritos are great, haven’t had anything else yet from the kitchen.

Bed was so uncomfortable, housekeeping only dropped off clean towels, only picked up bath mat and didn't replace anything. Nothing was cleaned or straightened up and didn't dump the trash cans. No parking around property. Have no choice but to do valet for additional $25 a night.

Like the closeness to boardwalk 5 min walk, only parking they have is valet, which was fine, front desk didn’t not tell us their cleaning is every other day, there is a sign at desk but I missed it, toilet seats are not soft close, they slam which is noisy, some of the plugs did not work or were loose, a child was running and jumping during certain hours of our stay which was very annoying, front desk is not very friendly but the bar/food staff is friendly, thought it had a continental breakfast but they do not
