Cleanliness is praised overall but inconsistent, with reports of missed housekeeping, leftover items, and occasional pests. Operational hiccups include check-in confusion, software outages affecting room keys, and periods with limited staff presence.

Expect a modern, convenient stay with no complimentary breakfast or coffee and on-site dining that can be limited.

Basically, the staff was pleasant and they responded to requests we made. It was a family trip and I booked two other rooms for our sons and families. They did issue us the wrong room key and confused our son's room with ours. There was also a broken dresser drawer in our room. Also, I called the front desk because we could not get our thermostat to respond. They said we weren't operating it properly but there was no reading on the thermostat and the problem was never resolved. Luckily the weather was temperate, and we didn't need heating. Overall, the room was clean and quiet with ample parking.

Refrigerator in room broke(; it almost fell off counter. Beds very uncomfortable. Pool dirty, no towels available by pool or fitness room. The room itself was nice but only 2 small drawers. Staff extremely friendly and professional. Enjoyed the courtyard with fire pit. Location very close to silver beach and other activities. Just a tad disappointed with it being a Marriott but would stay again.

Room was much smaller than expected. Booked a king bed, but I don’t think it was a king. The website said there was a restaurant, but I did not see one nor any option to order room service. Also, the site mentions a Starbucks but it was extremely limited and the staff at the front desk have to come over to make the coffee. Seemed a little silly. Room could have been cleaner. We found a few ants in the room. But hotel other wise was very clean from what we saw. Not sure id stay at this Marriott location again.

Not a bad stay except that our room did not get cleaned even once during our three-day stay. When we called the desk about it after the first day, we were told you have to ask to have your room cleaned. We explained that we ran into a woman cleaning the room across from us and asked her to make sure to clean our room and she did she would. But no one did. So our garbage piled up as did our dirty towels. We complained again after day two but were told they were busy.

Lost my reservation and then didn’t have available what I reserved and gave me different but wouldn’t give me a discount for it. Front desk was rude. Asked her to call when my original room would be available and never received a call or an apology. Bed was so uncomfortable and pillows were beyond flat it’s like they didn’t exist. Could hear every little bit of noise from hallways and rooms next door all night long. Barely slept a wink my entire stay. Housekeeping never came to replenish anything or clean at all. Called for more towels and apparently they ran out of towels for the entire hotel. Just ridiculous

I consider a Courtyard Marriott to be a higher end hotel. The $250+ rate per evening confirms that suspicion. With that, I anticipate an extremely comfortable mattress, super clean room, and exceptional service. My experience did not quite match those expectations. The major flaw for me was the mattress. This appears to be a newer construction hotel but the mattress felt like it was many years old. It dipped in the middle and offered very little comfort or support. This was very disappointing as the primary use of a hotel room is the bed. The front desk person at check-in was very unprofessional. Not just in her looks, but also in her demeanor, lack of eye contact, not greeting us, not stopping personal conversation with coworker, etc. It was just a bad first impression. But I realize it's hard to staff such positions so it's fine--just not what I was expecting. The room was very clean. We did not request housekeeping during our 3 night stay, but we met the housekeeping staff in the hallway. They were very kind and helpful. We visit St Joseph/Benton Harbor often. I wanted a stay at a higher end hotel. We will likely not stay here again because it feels overpriced for an uncomfortable bed and average service.

Also, very small dresser, with two small drawers was broken.

The property itself is very nice and modern. The entire property was clean and well maintained. The property is also very quiet. No noise from upper floors or outside. The room was nice but, wasn’t very big. The size was for ok 2 people but, would be cramped for more than that. The room views aren’t great but, for the price, it’s tolerable. It’s about a 10 minute trip to downtown St Joe, which isn’t bad. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

I called the morning of and someone at the front desk said we could check it at 7 a.m. if we were in town or we could come check in as soon as we arrive. We arrived around 10 and were told we couldn’t check in until 3. Several other guests had the same experience and we had to change in the bathrooms in the lobby to get ready for weddings. When we were able to check in in the evening, we were not pointed in the direction of the elevators so we went the wrong way and had to walk around the hotel lobby to find them. The person that gave us our keys just gave the keys and didn’t say anything else. For breakfast, there was only 1 person working. She was great, but people had to wait a while because she would take the order and then go back and make it before moving on to the next customer. We also went to check out and there was nobody at the front desk. There were 4 staff members on the deck sitting with each other but nobody was inside to help. Overall, the hotel was clean and modern, we were just very inconvenienced by the check in and out process.

This was peak season and we paid that price. I would have expected some very basic amenities to be provided like coffee/tea in the morning as well as daily maid service for the price. If you are charging the price, provide some services. Your little cards disclosure on your practices are all ok when its not peak season. People expect to be treated a little bit better when you're paying premium rates.

Excellent property. Very convenient to where we needed to be. The mini golf nearby is not to be missed it looks closed but is in fact open and very nice and fun for something to do. We enjoyed everything except for breakfast not being opened until 7am on Sunday morning. My son was playing in a lacrosse tournament and needed to depart for the field by 6:45am. We were thinking picking a little something up at the inside restaurant would be no problem. Other families were also in the same boat. My son ate peanut m&M's from the concession shop for breakfast instead. Yes, I should have packed something but we were rushing and I thought "oh we're at a great hotel, it will be no problem." For the cost there has to be better response to customers needs.
