Courtyard by Marriott

Have not stayed at a hotel with better service. The staff is exceptional. The hotel is clean and nicely decorated. There is a good food choice. The gym has an elliptical, bike and two treadmills, and a variety of weights. Highly recommend this hotel.

We stay here every year when visiting family at Christmas– always have personalized, friendly service! Love the ample areas to relax with family in the lobby. Always good breakfast and love true Starbucks coffee! This year we had exceptional service at breakfast from Laurette (sp?) on Christmas morning with my toddler! She’s amazing and great asset to this location!

Quiet, clean, fresh, and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. No complementary breakfast, though, so minus a star for that.

I have to caveat this by saying that I’m typically a hotel snob in the sense that I travel a lot for work and get to stay in some really nice places (on somebody else’s dime). Normally, Courtyard by Marriott would not be in my list of places to stay, but since this was on my own dime and very close to the ski slopes, we got a room for 3 nights here. From the very minute we walked into the front door, we were greeted with the highest grade of customer service. Not the kind where you feel like these people are trained and forced to be nice, but the actual, genuine, sincere kindness that comes from the hotel hiring really nice, sweet and caring people who just really want to bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. Upon arrival, we realized we had forgotten all of our toiletries (packing in haste). We were heading out to find a local drugstore to replace everything when the front desk attendant insisted he had everything we needed. From a razor to shaving cream, to toothpaste, toothbrush and deodorant, he had travel-​size versions of everything… FREE. It really saved us a lot of trouble and inconvenience, especially after being on the road for 4 hours. The last thing we wanted to do was get back in the car and try to find a drug store at 11pm. As I mentioned, we are skiers. We had a ton of gear that we had to lug into the hotel with us. They found us carts and helped us get it all packed-​in for an easy stroll to our room. For breakfast, the bistro has some really good coffee and food items that they will accept substitutions on without any hassles. Overall, a great stay. The rooms weren’t the quality of a Westin or a Ritz, but neither are the prices. It’s also very close to Granite Peak, so a ski weekend can be done very affordably and efficiently by using Courtyard by Marriott. And did I mention, the staff is so freaking nice? They are incredible.

Great stay for a wedding weekend. Casie at the front desk was awesome! We were very happy with our room. Thanks Courtyard!

Small town hotel. Nice staff. Shabby rooms that need to be updated, not the current Courtyard furnishings and décor I am accustomed to. They also source their own vendors for food and don’t have carry out containers to bring back food to the room. Must be privately owned. I’m a business traveler loyal to Marriott so will continue to stay here.

Have not stayed here since the remodeling. Really perked the place up! I liked the place before the upgrade now its actually kind of fancy… At least in the lobby area!
Staff seemed well trained and friendly.

Would certainly stay again

Stayed here last week. The staff at the front desk when we arrived at 3 PM were fantastic! Both young men were friendly, offered suggestions for dinner. They were pleased we had taken their recommendation and even inquired when we returned as to what we had eaten, and how we liked the 2510 Restaurant. We really felt welcomed to the hotel! Our room was neat & clean; TV great and the Bistro was great! We enjoyed our breakfast there and wished we were staying at the Courtyard longer. As we checked out, again, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We would DEFINITELY stay at the Wausau Courtyard by Marriott again and Highly recommend it!

We came for the weekend and based on our experience I would highly recommend this hotel.
I was using my Marriott Rewards points so the stay was free; because we weren’t «paying» customers my expectations weren’t very high for what room we would get or how we would be treated by the staff. We were pleasantly surprised! We saw a large (loud) party check in right before us and asked if we could have a room far from that group. The employee who helped us, Tao, was very accomodating and put us in a room on the first floor. Tao also helped us when we were deliberating over what restaurant to have lunch at. He is such a great person to have working with the public because he is friendly, knowledgable and just has great people skills.
We were pretty impressed with the hotel. Like the other reviewers commented, it seems like it recently went through a complete makeover and everything looks brand new. We didnt use the fitness room or the pool, but both seemed very nice. The fitness room had about 4 cardio machines and a complete weight set with bench press. It looked very clean. There is free coffee in the lobby, (tastes just like every hotel’s free coffee) but we treated ourselves to the Starbucks in the eating area in the hotel. The menu had a pretty good variety of breakfast items to choose from, healthy items to hearty items. We didn’t try the food. The prices on the menu were pretty typical of a hotel, but maybe a bit higher than other places in central WI.
We loved our room. It had a much higher ceiling than I expected (10 ft maybe), which made the room seem very elegant. The heating and cooling came from a duct high up on the wall which we thought was nice. In hotels that have the heating and cooling by the window, it seems to not evenly distribute the air (whichever side of the bed is by the radiator gets all the heat/​cool). The room darkening curtains worked really well, and unlike in some hotels, you could actually get them to meet in the middle without a gap. The desk in the room was nice and big so we both could keep our laptops on there and plugged in. The wireless connection was fantastic! Very fast and we never lost connection. We have had issues at other hotels so in comparison this was great. The flat screen TV was nice as was having a small frig and microwave. Bathroom was clean and nice, but not great. There was no fan and no lighting over the shower. Not sure if this is typical or we just got lucky, but we were pleasantly surprised at how few times we could hear our neighbor.
There is a good restaurant right next door to the hotel and lots of places to go within a five mile radius of the hotel.
We would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel! I havent stayed at any other hotels in the area, but this is a very nice marriott. I had no troubles during my stay. Great little food area if you need something quick and healthy and slightly overpriced. Nice gym area, nice rooms, very quiet. Very slow elevator, but thats not really anything to complain about. Great staff. Great check out ease. Optional fridge and microwave in the room, but they also have a microwave near the food area in case your room did not get one. Nice flat screen tv, nice beds. Very upscale look to the place for being in a smaller town.

The hotel seems to have been remodeled very recently as Courtyard introduces their new look and feel to the lobby. Many more choices for breakfast and dinner than before.
The room that I was in also seems to have been upgraded or remodeled and included a nice flat screen tv, microwave and fridge.
Very enjoyable and made the work trip manageable

So, I may be the only person on the planet who stays in a Wausau hotel with any frequency. But on the off-​chance that someone else actually needs to spend a night in Wausau sometime, I highly recommend the Courtyard by Marriott. The rooms are spacious, complete with a couch, desk and FREE internet. Yes, I said free! Free is my favorite price, and the internet is my favorite passtime! I have stayed here several times as I come here with some frequency on business, and today when I came in they had finished their remodeling project. This is noteworthy because now on the main floor there is a BAR! Next to my favorite passtime of surfing ye olde ‘net, drinking cocktails is a very close second! Other perks include a decent pool, lots of fluffy pillows, a bistro with breakfast and dinner options, easy freeway access without freeway noise, and a Great Dane Brew Pub that is only a few yards away. I love me some Courtyard by Marriott. For real.
