Please tell me all about Courtyard by Marriott

[CKupres]

My wonderful niece and her dad are going to be staying at DTD Courtyard by Marriott next week. I would appreciate any info/advice/tips that you may have for them :)

Thanks so much!

We stayed there last summer with a $29/nt rate. Couldnt beat the price, esp in that location. the busses were always timely to/from the parks. They got real crowded at night. The rooms were average. the pool area was clean and my son and I did swim. I used the spa which is hidden off to the side and can be missed if you dont know to look for it. I heard the attached restaurant was nice, but we did not go inside. We either ate in the parks or at crossroads. The staff was very helpful. For $29 a night, it worked. But I wouldnt pay more than $75 a night for that property. We are going next weekend. Last minute decision, so everything is sold out at Disney. We are going to try the Radisson Resort Parkway.

We went also for the 29.00 rate.
We had a great room - high floor facing Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island - could see the fireworks at night. We expected a lot less for what we were paying. We took the bus once but drove ourselves the rest - found that when coming out of the parks at closing times the buses were crowded. I'd stay there again.
