The hotel is very pretty, but it would’ve been nice to know that they were under construction. None of the amenities that they have on their site was available. Elevators did not work. For the price I would have liked to gotten some of my money back. We were very disappointed for our 35th anniversary.

We stayed on 08/26/2025. Please be aware construction and lots of renovations is happening during the early morning. I was woken up to banging noise as early as 7:30am. Ridiculous I had traveled the night before so you can only imagine the chaos. Also I did not know parking structure is under construction too so driving up the ramp is so narrow not much space. We had just purchased a new vehicle and it had left us with major dents to the small compact narrow driveway ramp. I would not recommend this hotel. Very disappointed

Other than the fact the signage says Courtyard By Marriott and we drove around the block 2 times looking for The Little Italy, we had to walk inside and ask the front Desk is this the Little Italy!!! The Marriott should put out a Sandwhich Board that states new ownership now the Courtyard, saw several people walking around aimlessly and spoke to several Guest they had the same issues
