The Courtyard By Marriott

The staff at this hotel were wonderful!!!
I stayed here as part of a group so I can’t comment on room pricing but the staff was exceptional!!!
I particularly want to mention how wonderful the Bistro staff was– in particular Teht and Rose. They were friendly and helpful and all the food was wonderful but they also were so accommodating to my group. They kept the bistro open late for us by 2 hours, it really was going above and beyond.
The facilities in the hotel are nice, the pool was on the small side but very clean and my friends who used the hot tub loved it!
this area is not the best if you don’t have a car. There is a Walmart and some restaurants withing walking distance but that is about it.

Checked in for one night. Greeted at front desk by a handwritten note that said «be right back thx». Waited 10 minutes until the employee finally appeared. Took a shower because it was a long drive, and after throwing my washcloth over the shower curtain rod, received a handful of nasty filth and dust (see pic). Shower head was broken and layer of scum dripping from the soap holders (see pic). Worried to sleep here but it’s late and I’m too tired to switch rooms. Why can’t there be a hotel that gets it right?

Not an awful hotel, but plenty of room for improvement. For starters i’ve stayed in several rooms on the 3^rd floor and you’re lucky if you can get the shower door to stay shut. I had my significant other prop it shut for me with the wooden table under the bathroom counter.
This most recent stay was better but now that it shuts it still can’t contain the water so I had my girlfriend do flood control because the door has a a good centimeter or so where the water runs down the door and rockets out. So she rolled up a towel to absorb the masses of water pouring out.
Not sure what breakfast they had to offer but for $ 10 I sure hope it’s good because the holiday inn’s rooms are cheaper and they can still afford to feed you oatmeal. Sheesh.
When I went to the desk to ask for extra wash cloths I was given hand towels and told «We’re out, it’ll be alright». Umm… ok? I highly doubt they were out as the asian male alleged, but that would explain the shortage of wash cloths in the room I guess. Guess they dumped so much money into their fancy new conference center and can’t afford wash cloths.
The free lotion on the counter in the bathroom had been used because there was hardly any left in it and it was all cakey.
Probably won’t be back.

Solid Courtyard. Room was clean and quiet, staff were good, beds were comfy. There’s even a mini-​fridge in the room, which was convenient, although I had to unplug it in the middle of the night because it was making buzzing noises that were disrupting my sleep. (I know, I’m weird like that.) Great place to stay in Lafayette.

Awesome hotel a few days before we left the hotel emailed me to ask if I wanted a free upgrade to a suite. The room was very nice. I will definitely come back. The staff was very friendly.

Spent one night here during a Purdue visit. While searching online, I found only 3 hotels with 3 stars in the area… NONE with more than that. Not to sound too snobbish, but am very picky about hotels, cleanliness (especially bathrooms), and try to stay with a well rated 4 star+ when I go anywhere. This had the best ratings of the 3 star so I booked it for $ 119. Not sure how old it is, but it looks newer. It’s about 15 minutes from Purdue, has shopping & restaurants nearby. Back to the hotel… the staff was very friendly at check in. Lobby has a little café with Starbucks coffee and snacks. They have breakfast, but we did not include it with our rate. The room was clean and nicely appointed. Small fridge (we didn’t need it, but nice to have if you want it), very clean bathroom, comfortable beds. The TV was a bit awkwardly placed and a bit small, but fine. Is it more than a 3star? No, but it really is one of the best kept 3 star I have seen or stayed in. I would recommend it if you are in the area and I would definitely stay here again.

Everyone is paying $ 120+ per night and you can’t even buy the right dumbell rack for the fitness center?
They have a Life Fitness dumbell rack but Intek dumbbells, so the dumbbells have to be left all over the floor because the dumbbells are too tall to fit on the rack.

Sparkling clean, tastefully appointed, windows that OPEN, comfortable beds, and reasonably priced! Having just spent several nights in a semi-​scary hotel in another city, this place was a welcome change. When they told me they sold Starbucks lattes in the lobby café in the morning, I almost cried!

No free breakfast like at Garden Inns. Beds are very firm. Got 2 hours of sleep. Great if you like firm beds. Clean. WiFi finally available in rooms. Good staff

I have stayed at a few hotels around the Lafayette area and I have to say that this one is the best. The front desk was also very nice and was helpful for the first timer in Lafayette/​Purdue area. I also like how new this hotel is.

If you are in the area you must stay here. They bend over backwards to please you. NYC comfy hotel but laid back. Hey it’s Indiana Go on priceline first get room for fifty bucks! (even if you pay full prce its well worth it!)

As far as Courtyards go, this one is top notch because it is brand new. The rooms and lobby areas are comparable (and in some cases better) to those of Hyatt Places and the food was definitely better here. I generally agree with reviewer Justin M, I had never been to this area before and if it weren’t for this hotel the whole trip would have sucked.
This particular Courtyard does not face the freeway and is far enough back from the main road that noise should not be an issue. I also loved that the heating was a central forced air system and not one of those clanky window type units (this is difficult to find in ANY hotel). My bathroom had a nice tiled shower stall and no tub which is what I prefer.
If you stay at this Courtyard, try out the cranberry apple oatmeal, its really delicious! I did not know there would also be raisins in it so next time I will tell them to hold off on those but this seemed to be an popular breakfast choice. Its a big cappuccino cup with oatmeal and a generous dollop of apple crumble and dried cranberries on top which sweetens it perfectly. I had reserved my room under the breakfast rate so I got mine included in my room.
The business lounge was much more comfortable and somewhat private than I expected, this was a plus and by the end of my stay I was looking forward to my next visit to a Courtyard.

I can’t believe i’m giving a marriott courtyard, 5*, but I am. We visited here in Dec 2010 to see that sh**ty college in west lafayette.
The hotel is very up to date in the lobby with a variety of business PCs to check email and so forth and a nice lounge. The room we had was also new with a flat screen, an extremely comfortable bed and a large room.
The location is great as it’s a few minutes from campus, right off 65 and has a variety of restaurants near by.
If we had to come to this part of town again (which we never hope to do), we would absolutely stay here.

New and clean, and a very good deal. Typical Courtyard, but newer, and amazingly good service. I echo the other positive reviews.
I forgot my laptop in the room when I left. The manager (Mat Frantz) even called me. They had someone take it to FedEx, put it in a lap top box, and FedExd it to me, for free. (I did pay the shipping).
Whenever I return to Lafayette, this is where I’ll be staying.

I agree with the last review-​excellant hotel got it for a great deal on priceline while visting Purdue. All new-​flat screens, high end fixtures. Desgined for the business traveller. Very nice-​highly recommend!

I was in West Lafayette last month visiting Purdue and got a great deal to stay here. The place is brand-​spanking new so it has a lot of really cool features with the business traveler in mind. They have this sort of food court feel to their dining area. The neat thing is that they have tv’s and wifi in these neat booths, very cool. It’s a neat idea if you are traveling for business. You have the option of being sociable or keeping to yourself in the lobby restaurant. But you can also enjoy the selection as roomservice to enjoy the wifi or TV in the comfort of your room.
The room was really nice, I liked the roll out desk. I bed was so comfy. It was a room with an adjoining room, y’know with the 2 locking doors between. I knew there was someone in the room next door because he walked out when I was walking in. I never heard anyone. It was so quiet, I slept like a baby.
I have to say the service was amazing. Being the big jerk Chicagoan that I am, I was an hour behind. I thought I had another 45 mins to get breakfast downstairs, but really I was 15 minutes late. They had just shut everything down before lunch. They were amazing they totally went out of their way for my breakfast and did it so quickly. Everyone on the staff was amazing, they were accomodating from having information for me about getting to Purdue, directions for parking once I got on campus, yet very efficient about it.
I do have to note because it was so odd. Everytime I walked through the front doors of the hotel lobby I smelled Kielbasa. That’s a really distinct scent and only in that distinct spot. I didn’t smell it throughout the lobby and I didn’t see it on the menu. I checked in at 8pm ish, I guess that was a reasonable time. but I smelled it the next day at 10am. It was really odd. It was a welcoming smell, I love the smell of kielbasa but it was odd. Maybe they have a very individuallized smell of home for each guest. That may be my deep seeded comfort smell.
