Overall it was a nice stay. Clean enough. Small indoor pool and workout area. There is a bar/small dining area. Though we did not eat there due to my personal dietary restrictions. It wasn’t a poor stay for the weekend.

For what it is, it’s a fine place to stay overnight. I wouldn’t say it was amazing but it was clean. When the air conditioning was off, the room smelled like feet, so that was a little off-putting. We were out and about from 9 am to 3 pm and our room hadn’t been cleaned. That was inconvenient because we had to hunt down more towels and toilet paper. We were disappointed in the dining because they don’t cook the food- it’s warmed up, like at Starbucks. The burger was inedible because who wants a microwaved burger? I did like the fact that there are multiple entrances so you can enter and exit near your room- big plus!

We came in late and were put into a room. Everything was fine until we got into bed which was wet because someone had urinated in the bed and they had just made the bed over this- maybe not realizing it was wet. We were really grossed out about the experience. The manager did put us in another room which was clean and we had no complaints about that room. I feel bad leaving a negative review because it doesn't seem like this is the norm. But we were also not offered anything for the inconvenience. Just an apology.

Property was clean. Property said they had a starbucks and restaurant on site. Starbucks is open 6:30-9am. Restaurant is open from 5:30-10pm. Both are in the same area. Have small expensive mediocre items that arent worth the money. Hotel descriptions make you believe they are available all day when they are not. My specific room was facing the main street which was noisy with the cars and trains. Bathroom had little amenities and sink area was exceptionally small.

Clean bed and bath. No microwave, but there’s a mini fridge and keurig. Tv was a bit of an awkward location at the side of the bed so my partner and I are laying on our sides to watch, but the room was nice and comfy. Housekeeping cleans the room as well as it looks upon first arrival.

There’s no disclaimer that there isn’t room service, and the room set up is a little weird — our tv was in the right side of the wall so it wasn’t directly in front of us, not a deal breaker but definitely an inconvenience with no room service.

Was quick and easy on service; clean room and beds. The property was noticeably a bit older and some items needed patching. The noise from rooms beside was quite loud, too, so perhaps some more soundproofing is needed. Parking spots are a bit narrow up front.

Good location, close to Norwalk but in a very quiet and peaceful area. Even with ongoing renovation, we had a great stay and enjoyed the pool and breakfast (not-included). This doesn't affect review and it was situational but the fire alarm was triggered while we were at the pool (6pm) but everything was back to normal in 10 minutes.

Clean and comfortable. After a long day of travel, the big & clean shower was very welcoming! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We didn't use any of the hotel amenities as we arrived late and left early. We did get dinner from the Bistro - and it was ok. I got the salad with added chicken and I couldn't eat the chicken as it tasted like it was heated in the microwave from frozen. The fries were good though!

COURTYARD by MARRIOTT has come a long way, baby …since the days we’d stay in the COURTYARD in Stoughton MA with kids —contemporary design, comfortable rooms, great service. The Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and guest focused. Just don’t try to get a drink before 5pm!
