Courtyard Atlanta Alpharetta

Excellent. Could not be better. Clean, quiet, staff is cheerful & helpful. Room was perfect.

It’s your pretty typical Courtyard by Marriott. It’s relatively easy to find located right off Windward Parkway. There isn’t a ton of parking so I guess that’s one of the downfalls. Almost every Courtyard looks the exact same when you enter. Check-​in was fairly simple and they had my room ready early so that’s a plus. They have a market or bistro where you can get continental type breakfast items in the morning and they serve Starbucks coffee. Depending on how you feel about Starbucks, not sure if that’s a plus or not.
When I got to my room, it was fine. Pretty standard issue. Desk, TV, refrigerator, etc. The bed was pretty comfortable but not as good as other Marriott beds I’ve stayed in before. No complaints at all from me on the room but it was pretty average. One of the downsides to Courtyards is that they do not offer an onsite restaurant. It was pretty conveniently located to everything I needed during my trip so that’s good. I wouldn’t be opposed to staying here again. Free Wi-​Fi is another nice perk.

TL;DR version: great lobby, great mattress, crappy but clean rooms, terri-​wait-​for-​it-​buuul, moldy food. I would stay here again-​ish but would never eat anything from the kitchen.
The lobby is beautiful, contemporary and comfortable. Dark, wood grain laminate accents a spacious and well-​lit lobby. The rooms probably haven’t been updated since the late 80s, and it shows. Not pretty. What artwork they have in the rooms isn’t even hung evenly.
The bed: utterly fantastic. This is where they spent their money. They feel like memory foam. Supportive and soft. Great sleep. The beauty (false though it may be) of the lobby and the comfort of the mattress is why I elevated this rating above one or two stars.
The food: no complementary breakfast here. I ordered the Sunrise Starter. Scrambled eggs with bacon and cheddar on a ciabatta bread, with a cup of fruit on the side. I paid $ 8.25 for the sandwich and an additional $ 3.25 for a Starbucks blonde roast (yay, they had something other than the burnt medium and dark roast offerings from the bucks. When I got the sandwich, there were no strips of bacon, only crumbled up bits in the eggs. While eating, the only sound in the lobby was 90s alternative/​adult contemporary and the two counter ladies gossiping and conspiring. Off-​putting, to say the least. The sandwich OK — no gourmet chefs in this house. But after eating the sandwich, I went to eat the tiny side cup of fruit and noticed the strawberry had no flavor — whatsoever — and as I went to eat a colorless grape, I noticed mold where the stem used to be. I looked at the cantaloupe and there were specks of mold in the fruit. Further inspection indicated way more mold — growing on the side of the cup, and all over the fruit at the bottom of the cup. I was too pissed to do anything more than alert the staff, sternly and walk away. So I can’t speak to the service, aside from conspiring and gossipy counter staff.

I stopped in here late one night on the way to the mountains. The hotel was remodeled very nicely. Interestingly enough, I had a balcony view in my room. The beds were super soft. I hardly wanted to move the next day. Courtyard has done some good renovations here, and I would recommend, stopping in, if you are in the area.

The hotel rooms are three star if you are a frequent traveler or used to a fancier room. This is a basic basic hotel, but there is a solid reason for the five stars in my review. The service of the front desk is BEYOND COMPARE and EXCEPTIONAL in every regard. I think the gentlemans name was Tref or something like that, certainly not a common name, but anyways the service was really really great and I suggest that if you are doing business in Alpharetta, that you should stay here.
Good, safe parking, 24 hour Starbucks (Faux Starbucks) in the lobby of the hotel, and close restaurants and easy access to the highway.
Enjoy!

We wanted to rent a jacuzzi suite for the weekend just to relax and chose this hotel because it’s very near our apartment. They were renovating the property (the lobby at this point) but that really wasn’t an issue other than the workout room was closed during our stay.
The thing is… nothing about this hotel seemed Good. Nothing was particularly Bad either but the service was confused (they lost our reservation and then seemed exasperated with their own customer service call center when they tried to fix it during check-​in) and the room was a little odd.
The TV is huge but of poor quality. The cable service is okay but there was no way to order any premium channels (we looked all over the room for ways to perhaps order a movie, but nothing was to be found). They jacuzzi was alright but some of the jets didn’t work properly and the controls to turn them on was so hard to push that for a while we thought it was broken. There were lots of towels but they were thin, scratchy and mostly hand-​towel sized (and with a jacuzzi, you’d think they’d put in more bath towels). The bathtub was so slippery that both of us came very close to falling in it — there didn’t seem to be any anti-​slip material molded in and no mats available.
There’s the other usual stuff — a 4-​cup coffee maker, an iron/​ironing board, a tiny hairdryer that sounds like it’s powered by angry bees — all of indifferent quality.
The room itself seemed strange because the ceiling is REALLY high — which means every sound echoes like crazy. The bed platform was more narrow than the mattress which meant when you sat on the side of the bed it felt like it was going to tip over. The pillows were like bags of mashed potatoes — what on earth were those things stuffed with, anyway? Ick! There’s a duvet with no duvet cover on the bed and one very low thread-​count sheet.
We only paid $ 70 per night for this room, but even though it was a large size, all of the fixtures and bedding were of such low quality that I feel vaguely ripped off.
I’ve stayed in other Courtyard Hotels and they were much nicer, so was surprised and disappointed in this one.
We won’t be going back, there’s a LOT of hotels to choose from in Alpharetta.

I’ve stayed at this Courtyard three times now and it’s always been a comfortable stay. I always get a king room and I’ve never once found something slightly dirty. It’s always been a very quiet hotel. Seems like they do a good job of spacing people out. In fact, during my most recent stay, I’m not sure I ever saw another guest in the hallway but I know they were there because of Do Not Disturb signs.
Every employee I’ve encountered has always been friendly and helpful. They even let me have an extra hour before I had to checkout once because I wasn’t feeling well. Acted like it was no big thing. So nice!
There are a lot of restaurants near the hotel including Einstein’s, Cabernet, a thai place, an indian place, a couple sub shops… lots of choices. There’s also a Walgreens within walking distance which is very nice.
Never eaten breakfast in their «restaurant» though because I’m usually running late. :) The little market takes care of that though with a Kind bar and a bottle of water.
Clean room, quiet, friendly staff, decent eats around the area… all around good place to stay.

This location is close to a large group of stores and restaurants. The restaurant inside is only open for breakfast. Even though I had virtually the same thing both mornings (grapefruit, raisin toast, Honey nut cheerios one morning and cottage cheese with peaches the other) the price was drastically different from one morning to another. I didn’t get into a debate with them because it was cheaper the second morning and it was late.
The room was set up oddly, with the bed facing the window and the tv to the side. The walls were very thin, meaning I felt like I was in the next room watching tv with the guest next door when I tried to fall asleep. The bathroom was immaculate, although the towels were as thin as the ones I wash the car with. The sheets were also not very comfortable, and the bed was very hard. Rita at the front desk was very acccomodating, and the staff in general earned this location an additional star.
