Courtyard Bettendorf Quad Cities

Front desk was extremely friendly, every time we talked to them! Rooms were very clean, furniture was updated and bed was comfortable. It’s a great room for the price!

Very clean. Modern.
But I don’t get the room set up. .
The TV is not in front of the bed… so if you lay in bed, you’re watching TV on your side.
Fantastic hot tub & pool area.
Bistro restaurant could use some help. Server brought out our food, but we did not have silverware or napkins. Real knife & fork, but a plastic spoon for soup??! Why???
No crackers with soup… BOOO
Roast beef was over nuked in microwave. .it became well done.
Ice cream sundae $ 5.00!!! WAY OVERPRICED.
and it’s the only dessert offered.

We stayed here on a very cold January night. The location was great, right off of the expressway. The room was very comfortable with a nice flat screen television set. The bathroom was one of the nicest that I have encountered in my travels.
The only con that I can think of is that they don’t offer a free breakfast like many other places do. They do have a little bistro where you can purchase various foods (breakfast and dinner) as well as basic cocktails though.
We would definitely stay here again.

Short Version: Very affordable hotel with good offerings, clean rooms, and good service from the staff. Everything was functioning properly, and despite the really-​odd elevator placement, I’d definitely come back.
Pros:
–Gorgeous lobby. Lots of seating to take advantage of as well as a nice TV. Definitely gives a pleasant first impression of the hotel.
–Fantastic staff. I mean, fantastic. I was checked in within minutes and checkout was just as painless. At 1 AM when I was pretty hungry and feeling it, I came downstairs to see what food/​vending would be available. There wasn’t any milk in their market café, but the staff at the hotel desk was happy to let me purchase some of the milk from the closed diner area instead. She was really nice about it too. (Her great service is what pushed this from a 4 star to a 5 star)
–Room was good. We had a 2 Queen Bed. Decent amount of space and everything was clean and picked up upon check-​in. The room looked great and pretty modern. Lots of full-​sized towels (4 or 5 I think?).
–Prices were very reasonable. $ 79 a night on a Saturday night while a King-​only would have been $ 69 a night.
–Awesome-​looking view of The Lodge hotel that’s right next door (looks gorgeous but Unilocal tells me that it’s not such a great place to stay).
–Pool and gym area are nice and clean. Pool is pretty small — almost too small to really «swim» for any fitness purposes but kids seemed to love it. It starts feeling crowded after 4 to 6 people, though — small. The hot tub was very warm and clean as well. The gym area, for some reason, was carpeted. Couldn’t figure out why. They had free weights, two treadmills, and an elliptical. Nothing too expansive, but it worked. The machines worked perfectly and had those television fixtures on them to entertain yourself as well. Small room, so the fitness area feels a bit cramped if you’re here with other guests from the hotel. Washcloths were provided in the gym area while the pool area had full-​size towels.
–According to signage, the fitness area is open ²⁴⁄₇. Pool and fitness area require your room key to get in.
–The downstairs diner/​bar/​breakfast service serves Starbucks coffee. They don’t have a full menu (no frappes, etc.), but they have more than just black coffee. When we came back from our event near midnight, they were still happy to make coffee or any of the food or drinks for us as well, so I imagine this service area has a pretty wide range of open hours.
–There are outdoor chaise chairs for lounging/​tanning/​etc.
Cons:
–Elevator is in a REALLY weird place. I’m used to the elevator being right off the lobby. It isn’t. You check in then have to walk through half of the hotel to get to the elevator. Really weird elevator placement — and frustrating if you’re checking in and didn’t expect to have to carry your luggage quite so far.
–Entrance to the parking lot has a steep «bump» on it. It won’t damage your car or bottom it out, but it’s uncomfortable to drive on.
–The downstairs eating area boasts «cocktails» for purchase. As far as I can tell, their menu had a single cocktail drink available — for $ 8.
–There are no vending machines in this hotel. They have a small market/​convenience food area near the front desk that you can buy things at, but as you can imagine, it’s much more expensive than a vending machine. This is odd because they definitely have vendor service — you can see the vending machines clearly in the staff lounge from the front of the building.
–Some things in the room weren’t working. One of the bedside outlets was dead (which is where they assume you’ll plug in a phone, so that was frustrating). The mini fridge also wasn’t plugged in for some odd reason, so we spent a long time trying to figure out why nothing was chilled.
Would definitely stay here again without any qualms and would happily recommend it to others. If it was more expensive, I might not be as wow’ed, but for the price, this was a fantastic value and feels closer to a nice business hotel. I’m impressed.
(Note: It looks like some of the Unilocal photos may have been taken before a renovation. The rooms and hotel look a lot more modern and crisp now)

I stayed here 6 nights for work travel. I rate the experience as average. My favorite features of this facility are the cooked-​to-​order breakfast selection (no GF alternatives, but some items are gluten free like the egg white frittata). They also serve Starbucks coffee which, for me, is a great bonus. The internet speed is adequately fast for average streaming and business work if you’re upper tier Marriott Rewards or choose to pay for it nightly. The rooms were clean and identical to other Courtyards.
My only complaint was that I couldn’t rest soundly; the beds were too firm for me and I tossed and turned every night. Other than that, the stay was okay.

I would definitely stay here again. The area has more disappointing hotels in less than desirable areas, than not. The property and location of this hotel are nice. The area seems like a quite business park with lots of green grass just off the highway. I didn’t notice the traffic noise until I woke up in the morning.
The building has been recently renovated. The rooms have the red/​gold scheme, carpet, wall paper all new Courtyards do. I read a review that the beds were hard. I prefer very soft beds thought the mattress was very comfortable.
The lobby /​restaurant was nice, new and had other guest working/​socializing there quite a bit.
The previous review said the hallways are long and dark. They could be lit better, but overall it’s a nice, new, clean hotel and I will book again.

Beds are hard as a rock!!! I would give it 5, but rest is the most important trait when staying the night. The facility amd rooms are outstanding in cleanliness and appearance. The staff is definitely the shinning star here! I have yet had bad service. Saying all this, the beds just suck!!! Please replace!

I don’t know… Each time I come to Davenport, Iowa, I always envisioned a huge couch. It reminded me of a Family Guy episode when Brian the dog went out on a date with an older lady. She was mad at him and told him to just leave her keys at the davenport. He was like… «Uh. Here?» as he pointed the dresser, the bench, etc. She kept on saying the davenport, the chesterfield, the divan. He got frustrated and said, «I’ll just leave it here cuz I don’t know what the *blip* you’re talking about,» and then he walked out.
I was laughing my ass off when I watched that as I had similar experience talking to older people about a davenport. When the time come that I have to make frequent visits to Davenport, Iowa. I felt so cool that. Uh huh. Yep. I know that means. couch. *winking like a douche*
This Courtyard technically is in Bettendorf, but whatever. It’s Davenport still. It’s still the original Courtyard setting with an actual courtyard in the middle of the meandering hallways around it. Newer Courtyards look like a high rise, not this short three or four story building anymore.
The lobby is pretty nice compared to the rest of the hotel. It looked newly renovated with some nice seating spaces by the bistro, a fireplace, and some work stations equipped with computers and printers. It is pretty comfy to do some work at the lobby. The Bistro serves Starbucks coffee with a limited menu of regular Starbucks store offering. It’s good enough for me as long as I can get a latte of some sort.
Rooms are okay but they are larger and spacious. They still feel a bit older to me compared to the lobby but it’s standard Courtyard rooms. It’s not bad. It’s just okay at best.
Hallways are a little dark to me and they’re long. I always had a creepy feeling like someone was behind me though no one was there. A visit before this last one I couldn’t sleep well there. This last visit I felt fine and slept like a baby. Just don’t like the old dark hallways.
Overall, it’s an okay hotel. It’s nicer than the Fairfield down the road. If you want to stay at a nicer newer Marriott property, stay at Residence Inn in Moline. This place is not bad but they can get pretty pricy on some nights and tend to have higher rate than the other nearby Marriotts consistently. If it’s nice and new it’s fine. It’s not. It may be not as old as the term davenport for a couch; but, it is getting there. I’ll stay here again when the price is right.

Overall it’s was a solid stay. The cleanliness was pretty good with only a few specific spots such as high vents that had dust buildup.
Service was good as well. Our check-​in experience on ⁸⁄₁₆ was efficient and welcoming as was our check out experience.
For a couple of improvement areas that held them back from a four/​five star that they could have easily achieved:
1) Have your employees wear nametags! I would have loved to recognize them by name but no idea who they are.
2) Spend the small amount of needed capital dollars to fix your entry drive. It is damaging to guests cars when we have to go over a curb just to access the hotel.
3) I should not have to buss my own table from a prior guest in the Bistro before sitting for breakfast especially when two employees are talking behind the counter.
Would look to stay here again as a second option behind the Autograph hotel downtown if it was full.

I have stayed here at least 5 times and the hotel is ok but the price tends to be on the high side for Bettendorf. The nightly price during the week is $ 159-​$ 189 a night and the rooms are average with the lobby area being the star of this hotel. Last time I stayed there I tried to ring the front desk and it went to voicemail and the box was full. Tried back the next night and the same problem. Once a few new hotels are finished with construction in the area this hotel will be in trouble

I’ve stayed at a few Courtyard by Marriott hotels in the past and had a great experience. We were in town this weekend for a wedding and picked this place in advance based on recommendations. Figured since it was a Marriott and other experiences were great that this would be no different. However, I was really unimpressed with this location.
The room was clean and I guess that’s the most important thing. The bed wasn’t very comfortable. It felt like they had purchased the mattress from another area hotel that was going out of business and got it for $ 5 used. Just not comfortable. Apparently our floor was the «nothing works» floor for the weekend because the ice machine was out of order and our AC unit (and a couple others down the hall from us) was on the fritz. They fixed the AC units pretty quickly (thankfully… hot and humid weather).
We used the pool and hot tub and the temp of the pool water was nice but the temp of the hot tub was below par. I don’t know what the correct temperature is supposed to be but I know it’s supposed to be warmer than what it was there.
We didn’t find the staff working the counter and the Bistro very friendly on Sunday morning. The appeared to be understaffed which is strange considering they were full. You’d think they would be more willing to bring in extra workers to help when they are overwhelmed with guests, but apparently that’s not the case. From the time I arrived at the Bistro to get my simple cup of coffee to the time I paid for it and was on my way back to the room, sixteen minutes passed. Honestly, if they are that busy they need more people helping up front. The girl that was working the front desk also was working in the Bistro making my coffee, but had to wait on several other customers before allowing me to make my purchase.
Overall, I was a little less than impressed even though we got the room for a reduced rate of $ 79. I would have hated to pay a lot more than that since the experience was just a little better than what we would have had at the Super 8 across the road.

We had a room facing the lodge and highway with a balcony and could hear very little noise. The room was clean and had a frig, a newer tv that in my option was mounted too close to the bed and the bed was firm but gave me no back issues. The staff were all nice and accommodating. Overall I liked my stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Really nicely renovated hotel. Though the elevator could use much TLC. We will definitely be back. Great price, facility, and options.
Loved it.

We were in town for my grandfathers funeral. When we arrived, the staff was extremely friendly and bent over backwards to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. I can’t count how many times we were asked if we needed anything and if we thought of something we forgot to bring, just to let them know, any time of the day or night, and they would be happy to help us. The day of the funeral, we came back to the room at about 9P.M. Shortly after a sympathy card was placed under the door, it was signed by the whole staff! Literally, Housekeeping, the Bistro, the Front desk and the OPS Manager all signed it. It is refreshing to know that there are still people and businesses who take pride in their job and customers. We really appreciated all of the kindness and will be back next time we are in town!

This is a really nice Courtyard (like the one you see in their tv commercials). Staff is very friendly and the rooms are modern and clean. Love the Starbucks at breakfast.

Best value ever.
I prepaid in advance and secured a rate of $ 79. This was actually the cheapest rate I found considering the entire area was sold out for the Ashford University graduation.
The hotel looks like it was recently remolded. Nice lobby area with a small lounge area with a TV and lots of seating. The café in the lobby doubles as a bar at night. The hotel staff told us we were welcome to bring in our own liquor and we could enjoy it in the lounge and they even offered to recycle our bottles! Rooms were clean and had all the basic amenities. Beds were comfy and after a long flight and drive, it was nice to be here.
On the morning we checked out, I was in dire need of coffee. It was 4:30 in the morning and the café had not opened yet. The nice front desk agent offered to make me a latte and did it with a smile.
Great service, great value and an overall wonderful hotel.

First off, I tood a look at the previous reviews, the most recent of which is a year old now. And, I’m happy to report that this Courtyard property has been recently remodeled to the new Courtyard standards, with large café and lounge area off the lobby and completely updated rooms.
So how was it — very good. The décor is new and fresh (I really like the hip, urban style of the new Courtyards) and the room was spacious with a good work area. My only real nit with the room is that it has the sink outside of the bathroom in a hallway while the tub and toilet are in the bathroom itself. I don’t like having to get out of the nice, steam filled bathroom into the colder room to shave in the morning — so I solved that problem by not shaving this morning! There is also not enough counter space, especially after they stick the mini coffee maker on top of it.
The Bistro café is a nice feature, although a bit pricey — $ 15 for two eggs, hash browns, 3 strips of bacon, toast and an OJ. Yes, pricey for moderately priced hotel standards in my book. This was offset by an efficient and friendly staff at both the front desk and the Bistro.
This stay was a good one and has me rethinking my hotel choices in the future!

Honestly I’m somewhat surprised this is a Courtyard, as it didn’t seem as consistent with my view of the brand standards as I expected. Décor and furniture was somewhat older, no wireless internet at first glance, a variety of old TV’s, AC units, etc. It wouldn’t surprised me at all if this were a property that was procured by Marriott and ‘converted’ to a Courtyard.
Staff was friendly enough but the layout and feel was such that I probably wouldn’t stay again. Not quite my cup of tea.
Additionally, my room faced the interstate so there was a noticeable amount of residual noise, which I can tune out. But if you’re the kind of person that’s bothered by that kind of thing, take note of where your room is.

The room was clean enough and all, but I was completely bummed out not to have hot water. It got warm-​ish, but not much more. That stinks when all you want is a hot shower on a cold day!
Nothing more to of note here, nothing more to see.

Any Marriott hotel you visit may be just the same as the one you visited elsewhere.
Essentially, when it comes down to it, the service is what sets apart nearly every hotel. I was checked in around 4am to a desk attendant that did not look pleased to be working there. After being given the wrong key, she was not apologetic in the least and came off as I was bothering her nap more than anything else.
When i woke up from my nap, I had made my bed and tidied up for my forthcoming trip. The showers heated up quickly. There is not enough room to make a cheap sauna, though if you open up the shower door and sit on the toilet, you’ll be toasty in about five minutes or so.
Housekeeping was standard– you use a brand new bar of soap on Saturday, you come back Saturday evening and you get a new one.
