Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Northwest, Columbia

Warning! The rooms are not thoroughly cleaned or maintained. The bathroom toilet seat was peeling and rusty (yellow but suppose to be white) that the rusty was running onto the bottom of the seat. The closet doors are rusty and dirt and other particles were in the bottom of the sliding grooves. The air condition/heating unit had sand and dirt in it. I couldn't use it. Clearly there are issues of concern with housekeeping and maintenance. Lastly, the queen beds did not appear to have been changed after the previous guest. I slept on top of the covering of the bed. My advice is tot take Lysol and more Lysol and Tylex to ensure that your room is clean or stay in your car.

Surely there is a better choice for overnight stay in the area than the Courtyard Marriott in Columbia NW, SC!!! During our overnight, EVERY vehicle in the parking lot was burglarized. Having 8 years as a police officer and investigating these types of crimes, only offenders who are very comfortable with the area take the time to methodically hit every, single vehicle. While waiting to complete the report, we noticed broken glass from previous break-ins in the cracks of the pavement. According to the police, it's a very common occurrance here. I saw zero evidence of effort on the part of Courtyard to prevent future incidents.

This hotel was one of the best hotel experiences..The Staff was very kind and did everything to make our stay a good one. One of the bad things was the keys werent working the whole stay. But i would recommend this hotel to any one and everyone i talk to

Recently, I had a Family Reunion in a Town just East of Chapin and stayed at the Courtyard Marriott. It seemed nice when you first walked in but I pay real close attention to detail. Here are the BAD things about the hotel. *Pool Stops At 5feet *Whirlpool malfunctions *Non Complimentary Water ($1.50 charge if consumed) *Drawers had broken handles *Roaches on upper floors *Sink Clogged *Expensive Vending machines *Broken Ice Machine *Poor Housekeeping *Stairwells stink *Hanging exit signs *Not "Kid Friendly" NOT RECOMENDED FOR LARGE GROUPS IN SEPERATE ROOMS, If You Happen To Want To Visit Another's Room In The Building Opposite Of Yours, You'll Have To Walk From Your Building, Through The Lobby Area And Through Their Area. And It Can Get Tiring (Two Buildings joined by a lobby and a whirlpool.) Not Recomended For Business People because there is only one computer with one printer/fax/scanner Here are the GOOD things about the hotel. *Kind Staff *Clean to the naked eye *It's Busch RIver Road location has lots of retail *Pool is Kept Clean *Beautiful Courtyard *Comfortable Beds

The room seemed to have been a smoking room at one time as it smelled musty and smokey. In addition, I had difficulty regulating the heater/cooler in my room. The bed seemed to be more of a hamock than a bed. The staff was very polite and accommodating.
