Courtyard by Marriott Newark-University of Delaware

"Fabulously friendly staff. When we walked in, a kindly gentleman noticed our little dog and patted her then brought her a special goodie bag for four-footed guests. Room was comfortable and clean (a bit worn in places but nothing can be new forever). The staff at The Bistro was incredibly warm and our breakfast was excellent. We will stay here again."

"Front desk staff is pleasant enough but the hotel is dingy, rooms are dirty, bathroom grout is showing it's age, and the towels aren't fit for human use. I requested that my room be properly cleaned and linens changed, which shocked the front desk. I don't know why we as travelers continue to accept poor hotel room condition and lack of services, while being price gouged at every step. Pay a few dollars per night more and stay at the Hyatt, which is in a better location, with cleaner rooms."

"My room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The heating/air conditioner was easy to adjust and also quiet. I very much appreciate a quiet room as so many hotels look nice but I can't sleep because of thin walls and hallway doors that have a three inch space between the bottom of the door and the floor. This place was amazingly quiet!"

"We stayed here as part of our daughter’s wedding weekend, 2 nights. From the very beginning, we were greeted warmly by the front desk staff, and then throughout our stay were impressed by the hospitality of the service team. Everyone was super-nice. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and super clean. Even though the Courtyard is one of Marriott’s mid level brands, the feel is that of a much higher quality hotel. There is a lovely bar in the lobby during the evening hours, as well as a casual bistro style eatery during the day. It’s within walking distance of the University of DE campus, which has a lovely Main Street, with lots of shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area!"

"We had an excellent stay while in town for a hiking event. Lots of parking, updated lobby and room decor, and a terrific staff. We had a tiny problem with our room and the manager took care of it immediately. Would love a firmer bed, but bedding was lovely and we would definitely stay again."
