Courtyard by Marriott

Over the New Year’s holiday, my family and I stayed at this hotel for three nights. We always make it a habit to get out of Pasadena for New Year’s, after growing up two blocks from the rose parade route. Usually, our annual trips take us up the California coast; this year, we decided to do something a little different and headed to St. George, with the thought of exploring Zion, Snow Canyon, and some of the other local parks in their winter plumage.
Upon arriving at the front desk, I was greeted pleasantly by two staff members. I noticed that the hotel look fancier than what I would have expected for my $ 90/​night double queen room on a holiday weekend. A coffee bar in the lobby was open till 10 PM… A nice touch, considering they were serving Americano style Starbucks coffee and other snacks and drinks.
Call room on the fourth floor was clean, reasonably comfortable beds, and the microwave/​mini fridge combo. A desk area with plenty of plugs for chargers, A flatscreen TV with HBO and two open HDMI ports to hook up the chrome book with Netflix, and pretty good free Wi-​Fi rounded out the offerings. Our fourth floor room gave us a nice view of the lights in the growing city of St. George… I don’t remember it being this big of a town.
Considering it’s the dead of winter, all outdoor pool and Jacuzzi facilities were closed. For our three SoCal kids, swimming at the hotel is something to which they truly look forward. The indoor pool was very small, and the temperature of pretty much everything in that room was off somehow… The pool was too cold, the air-​conditioner was blasting despite outdoor temperatures in the 20s at night, and the hot tub wasn’t, well, hot. Front desk staff was sympathetic to our concerns raised about this, and promptly went to go try to remediate the situation. Still, that air conditioner kept blowing, and the hot tub stayed tepid.
After two trips to the highly chlorinated pool, all three of my children develop skin rashes and allergy symptoms. Certainly, I don’t blame the hotel for this… They have to keep things clean, but we all got serious red eye, as the chlorine fumes – particularly combined with the bubbles and steam of the hot tub– were almost overwhelming. I defy any notovirus to try to set up shop in that pool facility… And hey, that’s the idea.
Other than the pool, we were very pleased with our stay, and will likely stay here again during our summer road trips. When push comes to shove, we don’t visit Utah to hang out at the hotel… But overall, this was a nice place to come back to at the end of the day after exploring the great outdoors.

This is my preferred stay in St George. Nice rooms, gym, pool, hot tub. But no complimentary breakfast. Availability fluctuates through the year. Call ahead.

As far as Courtyards go, this might be one of the nicest I’ve been to in a really long time. I was very pleasantly surprised!
LOBBY: Large and open, very clean. Everything always seemed perfectly fresh and smelled clean. Modern décor, small area with tables for dinning, lounge area, computers.
ROOMS: Standard size, very clean, modern furnishings. The bathroom was on the larger size. Comfortable bed. Room had both a mini fridge and microwave.
SERVICE: Excellent! From getting checked in, to interactions with housekeeping, everything was very pleasant. We were in town for the marathon, so I know this might not be the norm, but they offered a free shuttle to/​from the marathon start/​finish line, complimentary breakfast for runners the morning of, and a letter from the manager greeting us. I appreciated the ease of not having to worry about logistics.
AMENITIES: Not a ton of parking, but we never had a problem. Two pools (indoor and outdoor), fitness center, outdoor fire pit.
We will definitely plan to stay again!

On September 5, 2015, I checked into the St. George Courtyard Marriott. I was in town from San Diego visiting my son who attends Dixie State University. I figured you can’t possibly go wrong with a Courtyard, right?. Well, on the morning of Sunday, September 6, 2015, I noticed bite marks and welts on my right torso and left arm but, being unfamiliar with bed bugs, mistakenly assumed they were mosquito bites sustained while attending a football game the prior evening. I was there for three days and checked-​out on Tuesday, September 8, 2015
Upon returning to San Diego, I continued to notice new welts and bite marks every morning and decided to consult a nurse practitioner, who surmised that the welts were most likely that of bed bugs, as mosquito bites would not produce the type of welts and characteristics exhibited. Upon receiving this information, I immediately contacted Nicole Pead, one of the managers at the hotel, to advise her they had bed bugs. She proceeded to berate me because I had not reported it sooner and that she «highly doubted that I got them during my stay.» She was practically laughing over the phone. I just purchased a new mattress and bedroom set in July and never, ever have I dealt with any types of bites or welts until my stay at the St. George Courtyard. The bed bugs were confirmed by a pest control representative (although the infestation is considered mild at the moment), the cost to treat my apartment is $ 1,500.
PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT RISK TAKING BED BUGS HOME AND SEEK OTHER LODGMENT BESIDES THIS COURTYARD. It will be a very costly stay!

Our stay at Marriot Courtyard was marvelous. The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The pool was fun and clean; albeit a bit cool both indoor and out. The hot tub was very nice. There’s a small, but adequate fitness room with various machines and free weights.
The Bistro was open until 10 and very accommodating. The coffees (presented by Starbucks) were as good, possibly better than an actual Starbucks café. This is not always the case, this Courtyard’s Bistro staff was fantastic both in the way of quality, friendliness, healthy options and cleanliness and presentation.
I will definitely stay again if I end up in St. George. It’s a cute town.

I like their system in the restaurant, it’s a kind of quick order system where you can get your food to go very easily or sit down at a table. Nice basic menu. We had the Asian sticky ribs, some fresh fruit and the broccoli cheese soup after traveling all day, just wanted a quick bite before bed. Hotel is very nice. Reception gentleman was super helpful and very courteous. Room is spacious and rather classy. Has everything you need but most of all a king sized bed!!! Large screen tv! Small amounts of shampoo, conditioner and lotion! An indoor and an outdoor pool, indoor spa, fitness room. Several nice computers downstairs. No continental breakfast but a nice simple, healthy menu choice at the restaurant. If you order the oatmeal-​banana-​oj, you can share it as the oatmeal serving is large! Ladies working the restaurant were very nice and friendly, hard workers!

I stopped over here when driving from Colorado to Southern California. The bed was decent and the room was decent, but it wasn’t very big. There really wasn’t any view either. The pools were nice, but very loud. The fact that the pool closed at Eleven at night made it very hard to sleep with all of the noise. I’m glad I only stayed here a night because I wasn’t to much of a fan.

After staying a previous night at another hotel that turned into a nightmare the Courtyard was a welcome relief. The whole facility seems to be very clean. Our room was very nice. We stayed in a king suite that was also handicap accessible. It is hard enough finding places with a roll in shower, but I found this Marriot to be very accommodating. They even have a lift for the pool. As one other person commented both pools are small, but our never felt crowded. Free wi-​fi with the room and it maintained decent speed. First time staying at a Marriott, but definitely not the last.

Beautiful remodeling but the room was COLD. No sleep until 5:30 after a security guard came into the room to reset the thermostat. No more free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate in the lobby. Also, no longer offer breakfast Buffett now has a small bistro with over-​priced, limited options.

Stayed overnight on our way to Zion National Park. It has two swimming pool and two jacuzzi one outdoor and one indoor, laundry room (2 washers and 3 dryers $ 1.50 each and complimentary laundry detergent and bleach) and free Wi-​Fi. It’s close to Target, Ross, TJ Maxx and other stores and food places.

In process of remodeling. Awaken at 1am from water running upstairs. Phone alarm was set for 8am was awake from hammering at 7am. Everything is torn up. Closed off hallway to parking area and had to walk through construction zone with a 5 and 3 year old to get to car. Basically shut down construction while the kids and I slowly made it through the tractor and workers. Not a good experience at all. Would not have stayed here had I known about the renovation. Wasn’t mentioned on Marriott website at all. Was also charged twice for «incidentals» hope they refund it. Room was clean but expensive for what it was. Charges everywhere, from water to TV to breakfast. This definitely isn’t a hotel that gives anything for «free». Not a good value. For the price there is better and cheaper. Check in lady wasn’t overly friendly but not mean or anything. Wonder what the cookies and popcorn behind the counter are? Wasn’t offered either. Was handed a key and was told elevators are to the left. Location was just okay. Plenty of restaurants and shops around but hotel is tucked away and you must drive unless you like walking ½ to 1 mile in 100+ temps. Beds are so so. Nothing special, just regular motel 6 softness. I would say it would be a better value in the $ 69-​$ 75 range. Pay more and you will be disappointed. Others say best hotel in the area, but I have only stayed in a couple others while passing through and they were better than here. Fairfield is better for sure. Didn’t see the breakfast but adults are $ 7 and kids are $ 5. Sitting at Cracker Barrel now and my meal is $ 5.99 and the kids are sharing for $ 4.50. I recommend going elsewhere for breakfast especially if you are passing through.

UPDATE:
After writing Marriott Corporate I got an email from the GM apologizing saying the manager I talked about above couldn’t find a working number and the ones on my profile were wrong. (I triple checked my profile and they are both my husbands and my numbers… all indeed working well. Crappy excuses and trying to make this our fault. UM… so after leaving my number with no less than three people AND the manager calling me on two separate occasions… he didn’t have my number. Lame.) The GM had my points returned and also added 25 000 extra points… which was great but I’d have gladly taken my money back… which still hasn’t been returned. Kudos to him for being competent enough to respond and try to implement a solution… sad that he has such ridiculous slackers as staff members. We still will not be back.

This hotel has been a real disappointment. Looks nice but pricey for what you receive. Also during this busy holiday weekend they «accidentally» checked us out of one of our two rooms and said we had the choice of having both families sleep in the same room or driving 2 hours to find another room.
Also the «free Internet» hasn’t worked for us since we got here. I stay frequently at Marriott hotels and like them but this one appears to be a bad apple. Do not recommend.

This is the finest hotel in all of St. George land. When I come here for business which is every few months I stay here.
Friendly true Marriott customer service.
Love it
Nice rooms
Well remodeled
Thank You.

A great 4 star place to stay in St George. Clean, comfy with a little stylish touch and a
nice pool and hot tub.
We were passing through St George on the way to a backpacking trip in Zion when we found a deal at the Courtyard by Marriott. And I have to say this is a very nice corporate living hotel. The bed was plush, the television was high def, and the cable was working.
In the morning, they offered a warm breakfast and complimentary coffee on your way out the door. Thumbs up.

Clean huge rooms. I stayed here for 2 days and I was very impressed. The only neg thing is that you have to pay for the continental breakfast and more for their buffet. lame…

I agree with the previous reviewers. The only downside of this hotel is that the staff is a bit aloof. They weren’t unfriendly, just not as super-​chatty as most Utahns I’ve met. Got a room for $ 89+tax on Orbitz during Memorial Day weekend and tried to extend my stay for an extra night but they were fully booked. I learned that St. George hotels really book up quickly so get a room early!

Clean hotel, friendly staff, and great location — near shopping and restrauants. The standard room wasn’t tiny and the bathroom was good sized as well. We had the view of the city and my daughter enjoyed the pool even though she said it was small — I did not see it myself.
I did read that most of the hotels offer complimentary breakfast but this is one of the few hotels that make you pay. I did not actually see the spread of the breakfast buffet but I hear it’s actually nice and worth the $ 10.00 that it costs. I’ll have to experience it mself to tell ya what I honestly think…
I didn’t like that there was only 1 elevator inside the lobby and that after 10:00pm the doors are locked and the front desk has to let you in. I know it must be for safety but I can’t help but feel like I’m in jail.
Other than that I would stay here again…

Ok. Overall this hotel was great. Nice room, nice layout, nice facilities. My only real complaint is the fact that you have to pay $ 10.00 for a breakfast service that is free at every other hotel I’ve been to. Apparently they have a made to order omlette service, but the chef was nowhere to be found to even be able to take advantage of it. Just the normal runny eggs, greasy bacon, and other standard breakfast items. I don’t mind paying for something if it’s worth paying for, but seeing as how this was a Marriott hotel, and there wasn’t anything above what I’d get for free at just about any other hotel, this feels like a bit of a rip off.

New and clean, this Courtyard has it all… including seemingly larger rooms. The only negative I could find was that both the indoor and outdoor pools were pretty small. In a town like St. George where it gets so hot, one would hope for a larger place to take a dip.
The hotel is near to plenty of generica: The Olive Garden, Iggy’s, Winger’s, Golden Corral, Outback, Coldstone Creamery, Target, grocery stores, etc. It’s where I will stay each time I am in St. George in the near future.
