I stayed at another hotel when I attended a workshop last year with a grimy, old room and neglected pool area. The sounds of the guest next door kept me awake most of the night.
I decided to try the Courtyard even though it had less amenities. I am so glad!
My room was clean and quiet. I was only disturbed once by another guest knocking on our door accidentally.
While this hotel did not have the same amenities, it did not matter! I did not need to eat/drink here because there are so many other options just outside the hotel.
Close to everything I needed: Whole Foods, restaurants, CVS, clothing retailers, and the class I was attending. Parking was considerably less than the other hotel!!!!!!
Very walkable, safe, clean city.
