Very pleasant staff from check-in/check-out to cleaning staff. Like many Marriott properties, it has signs of wear and a smell of mustiness. They do the best with what they have, but it could be a bit shinier. Reasonably clean, very safe and conveniently-located. Good value for money.

Helpful Staff

We were in town for a celebration of life, for my Uncle. Our car broke down and had to be towed to a auto shop on the day we were to check out,the young lady at the front desk was kind enough to extend our check out by a few hours and then let us wait in the bistro area till our car was ready.Thank you for being so kind.

Racial slurs used against me by staff and ignored !

I began to stay at the Courtyard in Gainesville, FL on June 4, 2010. Arriving at 11PM, and having work still to do, I attempted to use the internet. After an hour of non ability to use their internet (the ISP said that I had to deal with the slower than dial up), I needed to find another location for the night that allowed me adequate use of internet. When requesting a non-payment due to unable to use their services, I was denied. Demanding that further action be taken by notifying management, I was ridiculed by hand in the face actions, my mother made fun of (she was not present) and then racial slurs said to me. This was all done by the hotel night desk clerk. On 2 occasions within 20 seconds, she called me a "stupid cracker". Yes, I am Caucasian and she was African/American. This was completely shocking to me. I called AMEX to immediately dispute the charge. I talked to the manager the next morning and explained everything that had gone on. Later in the week, I heard back and was told that I was compensated by not being charged for the room that I did not stay in. Hamm, I called customer service again and was again told that was all they were going to do. I then called Mr. Marriots office and was told that was all that was going to be done. I guess when a white person is discriminated against; it is easy to let it go. Having been a rewards member for 10 years, I am through with Marriot! I hope someone learns from this. I have commented several times on the Marriot Rewards site, with each occurance removed almost immediately. I am now banned from that site.
