Courtyard By Marriott Athens Downtown

“Disappointing. Marriott should not convert old hotels to Courtyards”

This was our second experience in less than a year staying at a Courtyard that was not at Marriott standards. Room was worn, first room we were in the toilet wouldn’t flush. It was a game weekend so of course sold out and very overpriced. We normally stay at the Springhill Suites down the street… Plus

This was our second experience in less than a year staying at a Courtyard that was not at Marriott standards. Room was worn, first room we were in the toilet wouldn’t flush. It was a game weekend so of course sold out and very overpriced. We normally stay at the Springhill Suites down the street and never have a complaint there. If we cannot get into the SS next time, we will either choose another hotel or Airbnb.

“Decent Hotel”

Location of hotel was convenient. Room was nice and as expected. Door to the room was unexpectedly hard to open and close. Even when you turned the air off, it still ran and it was COLD in there. The walls seemed paper-thin and I could hear almost every word of the conversation that happened in … Plus

Location of hotel was convenient. Room was nice and as expected. Door to the room was unexpectedly hard to open and close. Even when you turned the air off, it still ran and it was COLD in there. The walls seemed paper-thin and I could hear almost every word of the conversation that happened in the room next to me like it was happening in my room. Common areas (halls and elevator) could use a deep cleaning and/or updating. Was disappointed that I checked in via the app several hours before arriving and requested updates and an electronic key card and never received a notification of the key card or of the room being ready (this all happened after the designated check in time). Staff at the front desk were pleasant and helpful. Overall it was an okay experience.

“Not a Normal Courtyard”

If you are a Courtyard regular, you will not recognize this hotel. The building was originally a low rise apartment building, and may have been a different brand hotel after that. Our room was small and the bathroom even smaller with almost no counter space. The bistro and bar were closed due to COVID. Breakfast was complementary, but consisted only of packaged muffins and yoghurt. (Surely they could have provided a somewhat classier cold breakfast.) Free coffee, at least. If you want a real breakfast you will have to go somewhere else. Marriott must have been desperate for a downtown Athens location to take over this building rather than constructing a new hotel as all the other major brands have done. The location is not bad - we walked to an excellent restaurant and there are others nearby. The university is also a modest walk from the hotel.
