What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott Raleigh Cary, reviewers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and convenient location near Koka Booth Amphitheatre, restaurants, and highways, though overall experiences vary, with both strong positives and notable complaints appearing across recent stays.

Many guests found rooms clean, quiet, and comfortable, though others cited dated decor, noisy HVAC, thin walls, and weak shower pressure. Service is a highlight overall, but a few reported rude or slow front-desk interactions and confusion or delays around housekeeping and late-night emergencies. Amenities like the Bistro, bar, pool, and courtyard areas were appreciated when available, yet some experienced closures, limited hours, or renovation disruptions. Expect a convenient stay with warm service, but check amenity availability and request preferences in advance.

Check in was very smooth and those working were nice and welcoming. Plenty of parking but filled up totally as the night went on. There was a lot of hallway noise until about 1am when it quieted down. Thankfully the A/C was insanely loud and clunky so it drowned out basically any other sounds. The bed was very firm and well used. The noise, a/c and the underwhekmubg bedding beds were the main issues. The shower floor was also well used and stained from wear. Room was clean and well prepared by housekeeping. There were no problems, so we were satisfied as we only stayed one night. Didn’t make use of any breakfast offered, so can not speak on that.

My stay at this particular property was really well. I enjoyed it a lot. The only issue was, that the pool did not stay open longer enough for us to enjoy.

The hotel was quiet and clean. The staff went turned either way and were friendly and accommodating. The dining are with the isolated pods were such a great idea! The bistro food was really good and the staff and bartender were wonderful. Would definitely return and recommend!

An average hotel stay. Disappointing that you’re charged for everything. There’s zero amenities, no lobby coffee, no continental breakfast. Basic room and dorm room decor. However the staff is fabulous.

In general stay was good in terms of employees customer service, but hotel maintenance and housekeeping need attention. Housekeeping - We found two alive cockroaches in the room and in the bathtub. Bathroom floor was dirty. Unacceptable! We had family in another room with the same problem. Maintenance - furniture was damage and some picture frames were full of rust. For a Marriott with not a cheap rate as a customer you have higher expectations.

The staff here were just fantastic! So nice and helpful. My husband and I stay at Marriott hotels a lot because they have the best bedding and I never worry that the rooms will be clean. I was surprised to see our bathroom had gobs of dirt and hair in the corners of the floor. There was a cricket hiding in there and drips of dirty liquid on the top of the baseboard. In the lobby, the air vents had BLACK smoggy dirt or mold or both caked on to the vent covers. There was spilled coffee from the windowsill down to the floor that no one cleaned up in the three days we were there. There was a fire alarm going off at 4am and we had to go seek a firefighter to tell us what was happening. There were no staff people that we saw to help us. There was a dead animal smell in our hallway and the side door we used only worked sometimes. We were very disappointed.

My Wife and I were very disappointed with the shower as the water pressure was very weak! I stay at many hotels for business and have stayed at many other Courtyards before, and it’s not something that I would expect at a Marriott. It’s as though the area was under water restrooms because of a drought. The bathroom sink is too small too!

Friendly and professional staff all around. Nice lobby and courtyard but rooms could use an upgrade or maybe at a minimum remove popcorn ceiling and textured walls. But that is cosmetic only as the room was very clean and well appointed. I was surprised that the TV only had 4 app options with no ability to download my favs or cast a show from my iPhone.

We chose this site as it was close to a family member nearby, and was reasonably priced. The staff was very accommodating as we had a family emergency in the middle of our stay and we had to alter our reservations a bit. The desk staff was very helpful with our situation.

We had an accessible room but the bed was too high for my husband, in wheelchair, to get into without me having to push and pull him. The bathroom was perfect and the room large. The listing did not say there was room cleaning only twice a week and i was very upset about this, especially when it didn't get cleaned on the day I was told it would. When i complained, the front clerk said she would send sheets and i could make our bed . I said i expected them to do this. We left the hotel for dinner and returned to find entire room clean and bed made. And they cleaned room the next day too. I thanked them and left maids a decent tip. I think hotel listings should warn you about these things and that accessible rooms should always get daily cleaning. After i complained, then thanked, drsk clerk, she was sweet. Also, the egg burrito for breakfast was excellent.

I had a pleasant stay, but I do have 2 complaints. First, the towels were a bit scratchy, as if they had been dried out on a clothes line. Second, I did not have personal transportation, and considering there were not a lot of restaurants within a safe walking distance, the food at the hotel was very expensive.

We chose the property because of offered a bar/restaurant as one party member had mobility issues only to find out at check in that both are closed. Checked in to our room to find what was at worst blood or at best vomit sprayed across the shower door. Followed up with hotel management who took the time to copy and paste an insincere message that could've applied to any situation. There are lots of places to stay in Cary NC is recommend finding another one.
