I travel solo for business & I felt safe! The dining area was out of a lot of things & newer staff was overwhelmed but they were super sweet so that made up for it. Management - help out your newbies!

We got to our room and started to put things away. Found out the fridge did not work and while checking to see if it was plugged in I found food, socks, water bottles, and trash behind the desk under the TV. I have a picture of needed.

The hotel was nice, clean, and new. The pool was small. The area did not have much to offer. The hotel is by a dead mall and close to the highway.

Lack of staff. You call the front desk and are put on hold. No one ever comes back. You have to go down to the front desk to get service and you wait in line. Our first room was not made up. They had to switchus to another room. Our second room was not serviced the second day, bed was not made, room was not cleaned and no towels were replaced.

Uncomfortable Bed, Average Service
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.

I apologize that your stay with us was less than enjoyable. I am working very closely with our upper management team to provide the highest level of service possible. I do hope you give us another chance next time your travels bring you back to the area.

All the staff was very professional and helpful and it was one of the cleanest hotels I have stayed in. If I ever find myself in this area again, this is where I plan on staying.
