What guests think

At Courtyard Mankato Hotel & Event Center, many guests praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location near shopping and restaurants, while a few note room mix-ups, minor maintenance issues, and occasional noise or service hiccups.

The pool, hot tub, and outdoor fire pit/patio are appreciated, though some report cool water, strong chemicals, a nonworking hot tub, or lively crowds that staff usually managed. Rooms are often spacious and modern with comfortable beds and thoughtful layouts, but recurring drawbacks include king-to-queen room switches and inconsistent TV or streaming performance. Dining feedback is mixed: the bistro/bar is pleasant, yet breakfast is not complimentary and coffee quality or early availability disappoints some. Overall, expect a clean, modern stay with useful amenities and a few operational quirks to keep in mind.

The room and hotel overall were good, but the pool experience was disappointing. There were way too much chemicals in the pool. The fumes were so strong that my family member started coughing as they swam, and our eyes started to burn. One of the perks of being in a hotel for our family is swimming in the pool, so this was a big disappointment.

room was clean and spacious. Kids loved the pool although water could have been a few degrees warmer. We had purchased breakfast to be included and everyone liked the food. Front desk was very helpful especially when we accidently locked ourselves out of our room. Enjoyed our family get together.

Room was clean and well setup. Slept good and hot water for walk in shower. Enjoyed the pool and nice work equipment. Wish they could have had dog friendly rooms. He got to stay with family so it all worked out. Nice friendly staff and we didn't have time to check out the food accommodation.

The lobby is welcoming and clean. However when we opened the door to our room on 2nd floor, we immediately were hit with the smell of body odor. It was like a team of basketball players who had just gotten done with practice all crashed in the room. It was late when we checked in and we were tired but it was hard to relax because we kept worrying the room wasnt totally clean

For a small mid-market hotel, we found it surprisingly clean, attractive and well located. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The on-site restaurant and bar were very convivial and we had lovely conversations with the people behind the counter on both of the occasions we used it. The room was attractive and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

The Courtyard by Marriott Mankato was a clean and modern hotel. Our issue was that our room on the 2nd floor was right where 6 Air Conditioner units were placed right outside our window. The noise was noticeable all night and the sleep wasn’t the best. The bathroom sink drain was plugged also so the water drained very slowly. However, we talked to the front desk and they gave us a deal for 2,700 points. It wasn’t a huge deal but it was nice to get a refund for a future visit. I highly recommend Marriott for their nice hotels and great front desk workers!

The property was beautiful and the staff was courteous and tried to be helpful.Our issue was the TV service. We wanted to wind down and watch the baseball game,but they had very limited channel access. The guide came up, but the vast majority of channels were not accessible.We had access to only 5 local channels. When asked staff, the said that they didn't have streaming capability yet. The room cost $170 per night.

Hotel was really nice. We had reserved a room with a king bed but got stuck with a two queen room. It would have been nice to get something as compensation for the change (even just a free drink from the bar).

The hotel was fine/average, but there was absolutely no breakfast included and we didn't realize. They said you could add a $5 per person charge for breakfast to your room when you check in, but you can only do it when you check in (though they didn't say anything when we checked in), and otherwise it's quite expensive to eat at the cafe in their lobby. There was also no one at the front desk when I tried to check out and had to wait around. They also had a cooler with water in the lobby, which was nice, but they took it down in evening and we were relying on it. Overall the stay was so-so.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately I misread and thought that breakfast was provided, considering the cost of the room. It was not. I chose to go to an outside restaurant rather than pay the high prices of the on location option. Again the room was nice and clean, as I would expect it to be anytime I pay for a room.

Hotel, in itself was nice, comfortable and clean. The issue, with my stay was the coffee. I like my coffee in the morning. They do not offer any free coffee in the lobby, (granted, it is usually poor coffee but still) They have a "Bistro" where you can purchase a cup of coffee AFTER 6:30 am. but if you are an early riser as I am, you are SOL. Yes they do have a so called coffee service in your room, but it consists of the cheapest coffe make and coffee money can buy and at best makes colored water. COME ON! charge me $1 a night more and give me a coffe maker, even the crappy pod makers are better than what I found in the room. Really, really destroyed the entire experience of the hotel.
