This is a fairly new hotel two very short blocks from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I can only really speak of the room because we didn’t use any of the hotel’s other amenities. The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom and shower were also very spacious and clean. The hotel staff was fantastic. I’d definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at The Courtyard Marriott. The group I chaperoned loved it so much the first time they requested it again. The employees are AMAZING. Everyone from the front desk to maintenance and the guys in valet are fantastic! If we go on this trip next year we’re definitely staying here again!!

Disliked: Amenities
The overall feel of the property was ok, the room did not have adequate AC, it lacked the ability to cool it down, and the hallway outside the door was cooler by several degrees. The pillows were the worst I have ever used, and I have stayed at many Marriotts. The ceiling fire strobe was blinking a dim white light throughout the night and was on sometimes and off at other times. It was bright. The fire pits outside did not work at first, and after multiple tries, they finally went on; other guests were having the same issues. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again based on these issues.

As I arrived, I was able to check in at any time and I had gotten there around 2am. Unfortunately, i was not too happy with the parking situation. They were full and was told to go to park on the street. I had two small children with me, and we were all tired and wanted just to get to bed. We went driving around for about 20minutes and no luck. My husband dropped me off and decided he would go looking for parking and also no luck. I had spoken to front desk and after begging them to just park car inside they let the car in. I was upset at this situation. First there was no parking and there were drunk people one block up by the pier coming out of a bar or something. I was not going to expose my kids to this at all.
