Courtyard Lufkin

I often stay at this location when I’m traveling for business. The rooms are always nice and clean. The staff is often very helpful and courteous. I plan to continue stay her when I’m in town on business.

This hotel has really gone downhill. Stayed here last year and it was in good shape. Stayed last night and the hotel has not been well cared for. Gym has ceiling tiles that are stained and look as if they are ready to fall down. Room I was in the AC didn’t work. Room temp was 77 and couldn’t get it to cool down. Not sure they have any AC in gym. To be fair I didn’t contact the front desk to get someone up to fix during my stay but did tell them as I was leaving.
Room carpet had stains. The staff was nice which is why they have. 2. As far as Marriott standards I would have given them a ½ to a 1 star.

Super nice place to stay in a reasonably small town, a really nice facility, great accommodating staff but a few minor things keep it from the 5^th star. Drove up super nice exterior, clean, new, well appointed, staff was quick to help, check in was a breeze, gentlemen working the front desk was a true professional and exceptionally courteous, my sincere appreciation for his help. Room was excellent, clean new, nice, spacious, well appointed with a iron, ironing board, hair dryer, small kitchenette, all the comforts of home except the TV reception is truly awful do you remember the 70’s and 80’s with rabbit ears and poor reception, well it’s still here and made worse by their super nice HDTV’s — this I don’t understand at all, I’d raise cane with my satellite provider if my service was this bad, snowy, some channels not working, etc, truly strange as the wifi and internet service was actually really good, and reliable. Bathroom could have been a smidge cleaner, some stains on the tub, but nothing gross. Tap water in lufkin tastes like well water, maybe a hint of sulfur, I’m probably spoiled on my local water which isn’t particularly good either but doesn’t have a strange flavor, I don’t smell the water when I shower — not the Hotel’s fault. The meeting suites are remarkably good, someone did an amazing job with their setup, this is a big city hotel in a small town. Indoor pool somewhere too, didn’t use it, bar/​restaurant is pretty swanky too. All in all aside from the TV reception this place is 5 stars. Nice job Courtyard!

Unfortunately, due to the popularity of this hotel, their rates have increased to the point that our corporate travel office has decided we can no longer book this hotel. They have moved us down the street to the Hampton Inn because of the cost savings. When I looked into it I realized that the Hampton Inn was $ 40 to $ 50 less per night for a king size bed. I understand why they did it.
All of my previous reviews about this hotel are still true. I am switching only because I have been instructed to due to cost.

Beds are awful and if you are 10 mins late to breakfast, they won’t serve you at all and can be quite rude about it.

Nice Rooms… The staff upgraded me as a Marriott Rewards member and were friendly. I believe this is the only Marriott property in Lufkin so I was on the other side of town from my destination. With that said, I was near plenty of restaurants.

nice courtyard — Check in was efficient and I was greeted as a platinum member, upgraded to a king suite with balcony, and received bonus points.
Room was clean and comfortable as well as the beds. close proximity to restaurants and bars and shopping. Was priced under $ 135 a night. Stayed here for 3 weeks for work.

Very nice new! Front desk staff address always so friendly & the rooms are awesome. One of the top hotels in Lufkin

Rooms are comfortable, staff is friendly, and food is good. Only complaint is that it’s the only hotel in the area without free breakfast and the dining area is very pricey. I don’t mind spending a good amount for the room, but spending $ 60 at dinner is crazy.

The Marriott Courtyard Hotel in Lufkin is probably the best hotel in Lufkin… In fact, its probably the best hotel between Houston and Tyler. The rooms nicely decorated and well maintained, bathrooms are bright and clean and in good repair, and modern amenities not only in the rooms but throughout the hotel. There is an indoor pool and sauna as well as an exercise facility. I stay at this Hotel at least once a month and the exercise equipment and pool are always in good, clean condition.
This hotel is rather new (2009) but so far it appears the franchisee is doing regular cleaning and routine maintenance of rooms and public areas.
The hotel is close to many restaurants and Walmart & Sams, and only minutes away from Angelina Jr. College. The property and parking lot are surrounded by a high wooden fence, and is very well lit at night, so it has a very secure feeling.
Regular Wifi is free, but there is an option to pay for «Premium High Speed» Wifi. I haven’t really noticed any difference between the «Free» and «Pay» versions.
The on-​site restaurant, «The Bistro» has limited food offerings — mostly sandwiches and salads — and is only open for breakfast and dinner. The restaurant sports a full-​service bar (liquor, beer and wine). With so many nearby restaurants, however, I rarely eat at «The Bistro».

We really enjoy our experience. It became our stop after fourteen hours into our travels on way to Galveston. Pool was nice size and warm. It was great for our 8 and 5 year olds but would not recommend for big groups. Room was pleasant and would stay here again.
Tons of retail and restaurants in the area.

We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Lufkin and it was amazing. We were planning on celebrating my father’s 90^th birthday in Zavalla, but the power was out at the event location. The hotel provided us a meeting room for our party at no charge, helped us with coffee service and even brought him a special dessert. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Our rooms were great and the staff there turned a catastrophe into a wonderful day. Anytime we go to Lufkin we will definitely stay there!

No hot water. Made me change rooms three times. I had to ask someone to go up and check the room before I moved the third time. One of the rooms showers would not turn off. The faucet just went round and round and round.
Half an apology was provided.
Finally got into a room with hot water and there was no Do Not Disturb sign. Went down to the desk (again) and asked for a sign… they didn’t have one??? So I went to one of the other rooms from before and «stole» it from there. And it’s only the first night so far.
Deeeeeeep breath. Woooooosaaaahhh.

What a nice hotel! Not a hotel you would expect to find in Lufkin. The lobby was much more chic than the rooms but there really isn’t much to complain about with the rooms. They’re a little on the small side but you’re not spending $ 200 a night so what can you expect? We were very happy with our stay here. I love any hotel that doesn’t touch your stuff while they make the beds and restock the bathroom.
Once again I am very impressed with Marriott.

Decent rooms, beautiful hotel but does not serve breakfast, and sells the frozen already prepared bad quality food that you usually get for free at the Hampton’s, then nickel and dimes you on sample toothpaste… not good Marriott not good…

Wow. This is wayyyy too upscale for Lufkin.
Ultra-​chic, ultra-​hip. Meet the new trendy-​but-​comfy hotel in town, and I have to say, the sexiest and coolest Courtyard I’ve ever stayed in.
The décor and architecture is stunning beginning in the lobby. «Ultramodern» is the only way I can describe it. To the right of the two check-​in «pods» is the «market,» where you can buy food and beverages; behind you is the «bistro» where you can enjoy a happy hour or a breakfast.
The rooms are just as cool. From the Asian-​inspired lamps, plants and furniture to the flat-​panel TV, I’m most-​pleased.
One Unilocaler already remarked on how the TV is placed awkwardly; I have to agree. The desk is to the side of the TV, and the bed is at a sharp 30-​degree angle to the TV. The only proper viewing angle is from the sofa. That’s just weird.
But if that’s my only complaint, I know that my stay is going great! This is the ONLY place to stay in Lufkin.

I was utterly surprised by this hotel. The décor was modern, the room extravagant, and the food delicious. If I have to return to Lufkin anytime soon, this will be the hotel I stay at, definitely.

Was in Lufkin for business and my sales manager decided to book us some rooms at the Courtyard.
Upon arrival, I have to say that I was impressed with the décor here. I wasn’t expecting much while coming out to Lufkin, TX, but this is one of the nicer Courtyard’s I’ve been to in a while. The décor here has a sleek modern that you would expect to see from a hotel in downtown LA or NY. The main lobby also houses the restaurant as well has a nice sitting area and business center with flat screen TV playing CNN and other updates.
When we got here they didn’t have our reservation, but they didn’t have a problem getting us our room. The room I got was nice. Again it carried out the nice sleek décor into the room. The room came with a work area and a 32 inch flat screen TV with HD & HBO. The bathroom area is nice with the sink and toilet in the same room.
The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. It was a little stiff, which was fine with me. The room also offer free WiFi which is nice. If you like to watch TV in bed, the room is set up a bit weird so you don’t have a straight on view of the TV. Also, not much of a view here either as I overlooked one of the lower roof’s cooling units into a trailer park. But the sound proofing here is excellent. I didn’t hear any noise from any of the their guests.
I was also able to check out the indoor pool and gym and both were clean and very nice.
There is no free breakfast and their little breakfast area was a bit confused. They were already out of about half of everything by 8AM. I did manage to get a breakfast bagel and the food took awhile but it was good.
As to rating, yes I would stay here again and while new, I do think at $ 140 night is a bit out of price for the area but I’m guessing it caters mostly to business travelers who can write off the expense. The loss reservation was also a concern, but they were able to find us rooms so that was fine. The people here are friendly and ready to serve. As to rating, overall, I would stay here again and give this Courtyard by Marriott a solid 3 star rating.
