What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott Appleton Riverfront, travelers highlight clean, comfortable rooms, generally friendly service, and a scenic riverfront setting with patios and walking trails, while some note higher prices and occasional shortcomings in staff interactions or building features.

Many enjoy river views or balconies, comfy beds, and quiet nights. The location feels safe and convenient to nearby venues and trails, though a few found road access confusing at night and lake flies sometimes limited use of outdoor spaces. The on-site cafe/Starbucks is appreciated, but breakfast is not included, lobby coffee is paid, and options or staffing can be limited, with mixed feedback on food quality. Overall, expect a modern, peaceful riverfront stay with strong basics and fewer complimentary extras.

Comfy bed and pillows, and a quiet part of town made for good sleeping. I always bring my own pillow, but it was not necessary in this case, as the pillows were excellent. Room darkening shades block most light, but bleed-through at the edges meant I still had to use a sleep mask to sleep to 7 or 8 am, as I am super sensitive to light when sleeping. Air conditioning was excellent. Great location on the river with nice patio on the back, and short walk along the river path to Tempest coffee house makes this an awesome place for proximity to one of the best breakfast and coffee places i the city. Shower and bathroom amenities were top-notch. Just a great place all around. Will most likely stay there again next time I'm in Appleton.

We loved the huge fire pit that people could gather around later in the day. The Riverwalk was such a bonus—a great advantage over all those hotels located in the much busier areas. We walked it in the evening and again early in the morning—-beautiful.

We stayed only one night and had a very pleasant stay. They could use some updated luggage carts as the ones available had no turning radius. Not a problem as we didn't have a large amount of luggage.

My only issue was that it was a hassle to order food at the hotel. The cafe was understaffed and the hours were limited. Quality of service not high. No complimentary tea or coffee or even water upon arrival, which I think should be basic hospitality at any hotel. Beautiful hotel, rooms, and location in a lovely town.

Didn't like: 1. check in -- didn't like the small luggage carts with no ability to hang clothes. There was a place to hang clothes on the handle but when we tried it our clothes got tangled in the wheels. 2. The soap, shampoo, conditioner in the shower were basically anonymous. The print is almost the same shade as the background on the bottles. Try taking a shower in your facility. 3. The faucet in the sink is poorly designed. It doesn't project far enough into the bowl of the sink. Water splashes everywhere when you try to use it. 4. MOST ANNOYING-- I heard the woman in the coffee shop tell a customer that guests are entitled to one free coffee. However, she charged my husband $4.22 for the coffee. She said we could get it taken off our bill at checkout but there was no one at the front desk. After waiting several minutes, we could not wait any longer and had to leave. We deserve at least our $4.22 back. 5. We recommend that you try spending a night at your own hotel, and then tell us why we would want to return.

The motel was comfortable but a couple of issues stood out. The cost of the room for a one-night stay was $240 all in. I expected that there would be two free, small bottles of water for us. They had two bottles of water there but together they were almost $11. There was one very nice towel for after a shower but the others were extremely small. The HVAC system gives you only two choices for the fan speed; either low or high. We had it on the low and it was still noisy and annoying. It made the air very dry.

Honestly, I had expected it to be a little nicer than it was since it’s a pretty new hotel and more expensive than others in the area. There’s free coffee in the rooms, but you have to pay for the coffee in the lobby. Also, the listing does state that breakfast is not included, but again, since this hotel is more expensive, yet completely average in every other way, it didn’t seem really worth the extra cost to have so little included. Being on the river isn’t that great of a view and our room faced the parking lot anyway. I’ve had better experiences with a Holiday Inn Express.

Property was fine and convenient; but the staff was prickly. The night manager we unnecessarily gruff with my husband during check in under the guise that he could only deal with me as my name was on the reservation. This has never happened at a Marriott before and I found the position ridiculous and the tone disrespectful.

The hotel was generally pretty good. We had booked 3 nights. On the down side, there was no free water in the rooms, no free coffee in the reception area, no free breakfast, and the food at the restaurant was horrid. We paid a premium for the room and expected more. My rating would have been better for one free coffee...
