Needs a major upgrade

Courtyard chain has been a preferred hotel for my stays in Johannesburg. While the location of their properties which I has stayed multiple times (Sandton & Rosebank) is very good, rooms are very spacious, the staff is very courteous the biggest let down over my past 2/3 stays has been downgrade of their rooms in terms of furniture, maintenance, look and feel. They are dated and need a major upgrade. While room design is dates, Pre-Covid I seldom found broken door handles, Iron, pantry items, etc. There is an Urgent need to upgrade else they will lose a loyal customer.

Mixed experience

Upside: Spacious rooms. Good breakfast. Internet worked fine. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants. Free parking. Downside: No water to shower last day, not even to flush toilet! Bed was quite hard, so quite uncomfortable

Standards are going down

I have been staying at Courtyard Hotels in South Africa for many years and have been a loyal customer since 2014. However, this time around I found that the standards have gone down. The rooms need upgrade as they are dated, many things do not function properly or are damaged. The TV offers very limited options and I did have some time as I was at the hotel on the weekend. Unless a substantial upgrade is not done, I will not be staying with Courtyard hotels in the future

I am used to better standard from Courtyard in my earlier stays. Have given them good rating as they too are just coming off Covid closure and challenges thereof. Breakfast menu also is curtailed. Would like a better health club / gym and a restaurant with wider array of choices.
