What guests think

Travellers at Courtyard Peoria Downtown consistently praise its convenient downtown setting directly connected to the Civic Center via skywalk, along with comfortable beds and generally friendly staff who make check‑in easy and help with directions and event plans.

Repeated drawbacks include slow or out‑of‑service elevators, occasional hot‑water and pool or hot tub outages, and surprise parking fees tied to the connected garage. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many rooms and common areas are reported spotless, yet several guests note stained carpets, musty or smoke odors, and sporadic maintenance lapses like loose fixtures or missing toiletries. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable, though some lack a microwave or mini‑fridge and street or guest noise can intrude. Overall, expect a very convenient base for Civic Center events with serviceable comforts and some operational hiccups.

Facilities

On‑site pool and hot tub are mentioned, but guests repeatedly encountered closures or lukewarm water. Elevators (including the garage link) are often slow or out of service, and parking is in a connected garage with an added fee; the lobby bar/bistro is on site, though hours disappointed some guests.

With no elevator service in the garage area and charging 15 per night parking fee I would think this hotel should reimburse every guest this particular weekend. Elderly people hauling luggage up and down stairs is a disgrace in a dimly lit area did not help either. And one of the elevators in the courtyard by marriott had black blankets hanging inside the elevators on the inside walls. All the buttons needed redone so you would know where you were headed. Several guests felt uncomfortable. This was the weekend of September 20th.

The stay was ok but more so not prepared for the influx of guest. Only 1elevator was working and it was having trouble, we had to take the stairs a few times…we were on the 8th floor. Expedia listed prices for parking and continental breakfast were not up to date. Thankfully the hotel honored the breakfast rate listed. Staff was friendly and helpful just those couple inconveniences during our stay

Only con: Hot tub was down during our stay. The hotel is connected to the hotel next door and there is a great bar inside of the lobby. Hotel is connected to the civic center and hoops across the street is a great place to get late night food. Would recommend for the price.

The only elevator to get from the parking garage to the hotel was tagged out of service. The stairwell was full of grafitti. The front desk staff were very nice. When the hotel elevator opened to the 3rd floor it smelled "off". Stain in the carpet and no soap for the shower. Trying to shower the next morning the water was either scalding or ice cold.. we dis report to the dront desk that it was going to hurt someone.

We were in Peoria for a concert so we stayed only one night and didn’t eat there. It’s nice that the Pete Marquet is also right there for food and bar needs. The room was nice and my only negative comment isthe temperature when we walked into the room was 63. That was way too cold and took a long time to warm to a more comfortable temperature . The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Front desk staff was kind, attentive and generous. We ended up switching rooms due to an internet issue, but it wasnt a big deal and was handled professionally well. Both rooms were decently clean and heating/cooling systems worked well. We only stayed one night with just overnight bags but there was plenty of space. We would have liked a mini fridge and/or microwave for the room price. Beds were quite comfy. The bathroom was well stocked and clean enough. We noticed there was no fan in the bathroom. Not sure why. We were there for an event at the Civic Center so it was extremely convenient which was nice. The lobby was impressive. I hate paying for parking...why? Overall we enjoyed our stay. We will recommend to others! Thank you!

I had an appointment and was on a time schedule so this was not a good thing. The number to housekeeping directly was not being answered. That’s my only complaint. Everything else was good.

On top of all the terrible experience there i did book one more night there in hopes of speaking with the manager kn duty at check in only to flat out ignored to my face by both of them in the lobby, after the day before i left a note requested for a higher up to get in touch with me due to my service during my stay. .

Outstanding experience! Room was spotlessly clean and fresh, very comfortable. Common areas of the hotel were also very clean. But what made it so fantastic was the staff. Lawrence and Celeste at the front desk, and the young woman at the bistro cafe were wonderful, cheerful, friendly, warm people who made us feel so comfortable and welcome during our stay. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Perfect location for Broadway in Peoria trips.

Stay was very good. Great location. They told me where to park in parking deck but never said there was an additional charge. Only one of the two elevators worked and it took forever to get to your room and back to the lobby. Many people had to wait for their room to be ready and it was 4pm. Like everywhere, understaffed and lacked maintenance, Room was nice, clean and comfortable.

The heating never reached the temperature we set at 69F. The shower door handle is soon to fall off. A trainer of the young front desk receptionist was demeaning towards her as she was checking us in. It made us very uncomfortable and I’m sure she was embarrassed. We were very happy with the easy of access to the venue/show we came to attend.

A great stay at an aging hotel. My room was clean and very comfortable. The staff was terrific -- very helpful and friendly. The building itself is a bit run down: the elevators are a little slow, the "bistro" is a counter with a convection oven, and the carpet is stained and fraying or torn in places (the threshold at my room door was just a ragged raw edge of carpet, though it was never a tripping hazard). It\'s extremely convenient to the convention center, and offers discounted parking at the convention center garage. Unfortunately, there\'s not much in the way of daytime dining nearby (there were a couple of places within a 2-3 block radius, which were immediately overwhelmed by convention attendees). Obviously not the hotel\'s fault, but it\'s worth noting. Overall, I\'m very pleased with my choice. I\'d definitely stay here again if I\'m in town for another convention.

Beds were comfortable, but I was highly disappointed that they do not clean the rooms each day. Paying almost $700 for 3 days I would expect more. One of the days we were there we were brought more towels but the used towels were left. Front desk people were very friendly. The breakfast was $20 for the buffet which was ok. They make omelets there for u which is nice but the guy doing them looks like he hates his job. Told us to come back in 10 min so he could prep (it was 7:05!) and when we did he said he was busy and to come back in 15 min. He was making one omelette…We did not have time to wait so we paid $20 for some sausage links and toast.
