Would Stay Again I stayed on 2 different nights over the course of one week. Overall, the rooms are dated - around the 1970's. I was told the whole hotel is going to be remodeled stating in under 2 weeks with a completion deadline of end December. The rooms were clean. The only area that should have been maintained better is the tile entry block to the bathroom - my room # 220 - it was almost black, a little elbow grease with Mr. Clean miracle sponge and it would have looked much nicer. Also, room 220 is next to the linen closet, so if you want to sleep past 8:30 do not get a room next to the linen closet. My second night was in room 428, which had been maintained better. Breakfast did not come with the stay but they have a reasonably priced breakfast available. Although a side of eggs was not on the menu, I was able to get a side of 2 eggs for under $5. The staff at the front desk were very nice. I am glad the the hotel is being updated. I plan to return in December to see how the remodeling goes.

Cold water for shower, disappointed with outdoor seating area I booked here as I really like the Marriott brand. Their rooms are really nice, especially the beds and bedding. I requested a top floor, which I got on check in (although I was told over the phone prior they had none available). When I went to shower, there was no hot water - really luke warm which was disappointing. So a quick shower was happening! If you book here and request a balcony, don't expect to sit outside. It's a very narrow standing area only. They also have a beautiful grotto area that you can sit in in their backyard. Unfortunately, the cushions for the seats were on the ground - dirty, rain soaked and unusable which made the plastic chairs very uncomfortable. They also haven't fully resumed breakfast yet - still a very limited menu to choose from, although the egg sandwich I ordered was delicious. When I explained this to the woman when I was checking out, she was unfazed by the cold shower. I was hoping at least some discount on one of the nights that I stayed, but she just said "sorry, I'll send maintenance up to look at it". Well, hopefully the next guest won't have to deal with that.

Great value and at a convenient metro Tampa location Enjoyed staying here while on an away trip to play a game in Tampa. It's clean, well-provisioned, and was a great value relative to where I needed to be for our game the day after I checked into the hotel. Highly recommend this Courtyard!

A good choice, but no free breakfast My wife and I recently spent two nights at the Courtyard by Marriott in Oldsmar, FL. It’s located about 15 miles northwest of Tampa. We picked this location as it was near family that we were visiting. We stayed for free using Bonvoy points, so I can’t comment on price. The hotel is located on a fairly busy highway, so there are many shopping and dining places within driving distance. Outdoor parking is free. The lobby decor is fairly modern with the expected COVID precautions. Check-in was fast and staff were friendly and professional. There is a business center off the lobby, as well as a fitness center. An outdoor pool is in back. We didn’t use any of these amenities. Our room came with a king-size bed and loveseat. There also was a rollout table/desk arrangement. Decor was fine, with red being the predominant color - it seemed retro 70s to me. The wardrobe had an iron and ironing board. There was a coffee bar and a space where the mini fridge must have been pre-COVID. (A great space to store small luggage now.) The bed was not very firm, but comfortable. Five pillows were on it. The AC worked fine, but was very loud when it kicked in during the middle of the night. The bathroom was functional with a tub/shower combo. It also had two grab bars and a ledge for sitting at the end of the tub. (Maybe it was a designated handicapped room?). There was a hairdryer and a selection of Paul Mitchell toiletries. No bath robes. Shower pressure was fine. Directly across from the registration desk is the dining area. We expected the usual continental breakfast and were surprised that there was a charge for the food. Options seemed to be limited to coffee, pastries, bagels and sandwiches that could be heated in a microwave. Our bill for two coffees (my wife raved about hers, even though she normally doesn’t like Starbucks), a bagel with cream cheese and a heated breakfast sandwich was $16.16. Not too high as breakfast for two goes, but a jolt when you’re used to a complimentary meal. BTW, the counter guy was very friendly and engaging All in all, we were satisfied with our stay, and would stay again if in the area. But we may consider dining in a real breakfast place.

2nd choice, should have been our first!! We moved here after spending 2 nights a block away at the Hilton Garden Inn. Our room here was much larger as well as less expensive. Unfortunately Mother Nature decided that she was in a bad mood so we were unable to use the pool. Nadya at the front desk was wonderful. Pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. My only issue was not all rooms have a refrigerator.
