Our family stayed at the Courtyard last week, Tuesday through Saturday. We really enjoyed it. As I think someone else reported, the suites are in the rear of the hotel, with outside corridors that overlook the second pool. We were right next to the elevator, on the third floor, which was very convenient and not at all noisy. We never heard our neighbors or corridor traffic. The management told us that all of the rooms were now renovated. Everything appeared new (or reupholstered) in our suite, including the carpet (which usually grosses me out in many hotels). The living room area was much larger than Buena Vista Suites, where we last stayed, but the bedroom area was slightly smaller. There is not much dresser space (small 3 drawer dresser in living room and same in bedroom). We had two double beds. Everything was clean (although I always lysol and wipe anyway).
The breakfast was very good (especially for free!). Like some others who have written in, we were given complimentary breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children, even though the travelzoo ad said only adults would eat free. Breakfast is available from 6:00 a.m. and was not very crowded before 8:00 a.m. We only saw the magician on our last day, Saturday. The waitress also gave the kids tokens for the arcade, which was sweet. One day only I made it to breakfast and took back cereal and milk for the kids (waiter said it was ok, since I had comp. meals).
Lots of places to eat around the area. It was a relatively short drive to the parks, although we went through the downtown Disney area, which took some time if you hit the red lights.
The only problem we had was with the maid service. They didn't come the first day and came very late the third day (during the kids' nap time--after 3 pm). I never got the trashcan I asked for, only receiving lots of small plastic bags. We really didn't care, though, as long as we got our clean towels. When I called to remind them that they had forgotten us that first day, the next day they left cookies and chocolates. I don't know if everyone got them, or it was a treat for missing the service. Anyway, nice touch!
Bottom line, we would definitely stay here again. Especially at that rate!!
)... Do any of the suite rooms have balconies or patios that anyone has seen, or is it just the regular rooms with the patios and balconies? I will be calling a couple of days in advance to make some requests, don't know if they will honor them, but it's worth a try. I would love a unit with a balcony or a patio, that would be really GREAT
