Room clean nice and big and convenient location next to a Walmart!
Was not keen at first for multiple keys, finally did and cannot book shuttle to airport so ended up taking an uber.
Nice hotel I just think for the price these little details are important.
No milk for free morning coffee and gave us a ride to city mall but not back - luckily Ubers are fast and inexpensive !!!

We needed a pre-flight stay near the airport and chose the Courtyard by Marriott for its proximity to the airport. We had an excellent dinner in the restaurant before heading back to our room for an early bedtime. The beds were so comfortable, and we were able to block out the lights and noise from the airport and highway outside.
Our flight was at 6AM so we took advantage of the free shuttle to the airport. Shuttle starts at 4AM, it was on time and gave us plenty of time to check in and wait for our flight.
