Courtyard marriott village

[disme]

We just got this hotel by priceline for april 5-7.
$31+20 amex bonus.
Would like to hear from anyone who has stayed here? What did you think of the area?busses? Pool? all those kind of things.
also read that those at the courtyard may go to the breakfast at the fairfels and summerfiels, is this correct? and have you done this?
Thanks for all info

I've not stayed there yet-ressies are for Aug. I found information about this resort by doing a search on this board in a post from Bavaria. There is also another post from one or two days ago, I think the subject was Fairfield Inn, which has information about this resort. Sorry, but I don't know how to put in a link to those threads.

Thanks

I suggest that you look for my post from January. I will be going back to this hotel in May, and HIGHLY recommend the complex. This is a very bright and rather funky Courtyard - not like the traditional style at all.

Bus service leaves very frequently, and it is a large 60 pax bus so no worries there. Takes about 15-25 min depending on which park.

Lots of choice for dining on property (mainly fast food or family oriented) and lots around the complex. This is a great location near a giant new factory outlet, restaurants, shops, etc.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff are all very friendly and eager - a wonderful place!!!!

i read you post and you said that they serve a continental breakfast but on their site it says only the other 2 hotels in the village serves it. Can we go to the other hotels in the village for the continental breakfast? On the website it states that the courtyard marriott village has a breakfast buffet for 9.99. confused help!!!

Just back
Was a very nice hotel, great pool and clean rooms Queen size beds lots of water pressuer.I was told that the gameroom was not that great, just know thats what the 20something in our group said.
The location can't be beet for Downtown Disney.
Had Breakfast at the fairfield, it was OK service not selfserve, seemed alittle limited.THe Summerfield suites has a sligthly better buffet, it is selfserve and had lots of Breakfast breads as well as the muffins.
The down side is the Buss, it had a VERY limited schedule one that we couldn't use at all. ended up driving but that was no big deal.If you are planning on their transport than call for a schedule and be ready to weight.
All in all a great place to stay,

Breakfast buffet is served at the other hotels and yes you can eat their no problem,-also use the pools-We asked and were told this by the person at the info desk in the loby. The Courtyard does have a breakfast in the resturant but we did not use it so I do not know the cost or what it is. They do have coffee in the loby.

I just returned from there and it was great! The location was good, the hotel was clean, and everyone seemed very friendly. I asked if we could go to the other hotels for breakfast and the guy at the front desk told me no. Also, when I checked out the manager told me that there was a $5 a day resort fee for use of the pool, but mainly the shuttle. I told her we didn't use the pool and we rented a car and drove everywhere so she said no problem and took the charge off. She said that at check in they're supposed to tell us of the fee, but since the girl didn't and we didn't use the facilities she would just remove the charge. We have AKL ressies for June, but I just told my husband for the price and location I think we should consider a change.
