What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott Dothan, many guests highlight friendly, accommodating staff and a convenient location near shops and dining, with an on-site bistro serving Starbucks providing added convenience despite limited menus and several comments about higher prices.

Reviews frequently mention inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, including dirty or worn bathrooms, low water pressure, loud or failing air conditioning, and a few reports of pests. Ongoing renovations and some facility issues led to noise, access changes, and safety concerns for a few stays. Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable but dated, with thin walls and occasional Wi-Fi sign-in hassles. Best suited to short stays where convenience matters more than polish.

Conveniently located around the famous Ross Clark Circle, near places we do business. Many stores and eateries within the vicinity. Chef Jordan makes the best breakfast for dining, with Starbucks on site. Great tasting night options for later munchies. Quiet, outdoor dining was relaxing with lots of safe parking. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

Stayed here in prep for my state exam. I was treated so well! Staff were like family while I studied in the lobby, checking on me. Food was tasty and convenient from the on site bistro. Room was very nice, and bed was comfy! Property shows a little wear, but the staff & experience cancelled that out. Will stay here again!

The entire property was under construction and no warning was provided. The room above had workers stop I f around in it at 6 am, while my 8 month old tried to sleep. Our patio area was full of equipment and building supplies. The construction was not well kept and I severely doubt it was being done per Marriot Standards. I’ve attached images of the patio area which was extremely unsafe. There was a piece of machinery lifted up and holding a makeshift dumpster over our patio. Extremely unsafe and not what I was promised when I booked the room. Construction is understandable, this construction was unsafe and made my stay completely unsatisfactory.

This hotel was perfect. Great room with large shower. Bar, small dinner and breakfast area. Easy to find, easy to park. Starbucks coffee downstairs. If you like more than one sugar and one creamer per person in the room, ask for it at the desk. Everyone was so friendly. I would stay again.

The only thing I can say positive was the gentleman that checked us in. Besides that, we feel that this hotel may not have been a Courtyard originally. Lipstick on a pig is the way I felt. The carpet and floor was absolutely filthy which made the shower stall filthy and stained. I knew my feet where clean, but after walking on the floor for, maybe 10 minutes, my feet where so black and dirty the dirt poured off my feet when I took a shower. See pics for more issues. I felt we were in a motel near a truck stop and not a Courtyard

We found several roaches on the wall and floor. When we told the front desk the lady told me “they have gotten worse since they put down the new mulch”. Did not apologize for the inconvenience. Due to the time of night we came in, finding another hotel was impossible. Next morning we found a roach in our suitcase. Our luggage stayed outside our house until we could confirm there were no roaches in our clothes.

Worse night’s sleep I have ever had in a hotel. Mattress was like a sleeping on a piece of wood. When traveling to an area I am unfamiliar with, Courtyard is a safe bet, not in Dothan, Al. The hotel is dated, amenities are minimal, even coffee isn’t offered in the lobby. They have a “Starbucks” where coffee can be purchased. However, the amazingly sweet employee hasn’t been properly trained in preparing some of the specialty beverages, so we had to get a refund. I most definitely will not stay at this hotel for future visits to Dothan, nor will I recommend.

My mother is 91 and under 5 foot tall. She could not get in the bed because it was so high. I had to get a footstool from the kitchen so she could get in bed. The people were very nice, but I've never seen beds so high with no way to get in.

The air conditioner stopped working in the middle of the night. It actually froze up. It was somewhere around 2:00 am. I was too exhausted to call the front desk to request a new room because my father was in the hospital, and I had just gotten a room for one night to try to get some rest. Unfortunately, due to this issue that didn’t happen. The stay was otherwise good.

Everything was great except the kids running up and down the hallway past 11pm and early in the morning. I went to the desk 4 times and NOTHING WAS DONE. The parents were sitting at the bar and never said anything to the kids. They ran up the steps and down the hall on all 3 levels. I was in town for a 40th Class Reunion and selected your brand for the comfort and became very disappointed about a hour after check in. There was older guest that was there for a funeral and they voiced their complaints as well. This hotel is too expensive for me to have driven over 400 miles and could not rest.

My co-workers were not able to check in with the reservation number and/or confirmation number that I was given from Expedia. So therefore my reservations were not honored. I’ve chatted with Expedia until I’m blue in the face looking for a refund. As of today nothing. To top it all off my workers had to pay for another room so they could have somewhere to stay.
