Courtyard Marriott

Your typical Marriott, except no one tells you it’s directly across the street from a cemetery! This place has a tiny gym and small café area. They also don’t have refrigerators unless you make a request. I gave them 3 stars because staff was friendly and the location was close to a lot of restaurants and shopping.
If you happen to stay here, make sure to request a room facing away from the cemetery or you’ll wake up to a nice view of headstones.

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The lobby was nice and check-​in was easy. The rooms were furnished nicely, with VERY comfortable beds and pull-​out. Our room was neat and clean, with updated (modern) décor throughout. We heard zero noise from neighboring rooms or other floors. The room was dark at night, and the bed is behind a half wall which prevents any of the light which peeks in from under the door from disturbing sleep.
The rooms were on the small side, though. For travelers with luggage, expect cramped quarters. The restroom was nice, and featured Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner. There was a bar of face soap near the sink, but only one bar of regular soap for both the sink and shower area. It was a great hotel, especially for the price. We would absolutely come back.

It always amazes me how you can be anywhere in the country and some things are always the same… and Courtyard Marriott in Overland Park was no exception as my room could have the same one I have stayed in at multiple places across the country. Friendly staff, clean room, comfy beds. No frills and nothing special but that’s as a stop off for a cross country drive, highly recommend.

It had been years since I’d stayed at a Courtyard, and having stayed in almost every other hotel in Overland Park, I must say this one is my favorite. My room was nice, although the mattress wasn’t overly comfortable, and a refrigerator would have been appreciated. However, I did like the small sofa in the room with a laptop-​height table as an alternate working option to sitting at the desk or on the bed. I thought the free wifi was quite adequate for my needs, and the staff was always attentive and friendly.
What sets this hotel apart from others is their food. The breakfast offers a variety of items — from a full breakfast complete with bacon, eggs/​sausage and toast to bagels, oatmeal, yogurt and hot sandwiches. They also serve Starbucks coffee and have a variety of fruits, too. I love that for a hotel like a Courtyard that typically doesn’t have a full restaurant, the Bistro in the lobby had food available all day. I did not feel like going out to dinner one night, so I ordered a turkey BLT, which reminded me of what I’d make at home. Simple and delicious. With the sandwich came two sides, so I opted for red quinoa salad and fresh cut vegetables that consisted of carrots, celery and cucumber. I was excited to have these healthy side options! Jared at the Bistro was there every time I was, so I think the guy works 24/​7, but he was always so nice and focused upon ensuring we enjoyed our meals.
Very friendly staff, good food and no complaints! I’ll definitely return on future trips to the area.

This hotel is very clean and is trying to be like the modern lobbies of New York City. The bathroom could use a new shower head but other than that people are friendly and the bed is comfortable. The breakfast is convenient in the lobby and there are some great amenities. Obviously wifi is key and that is good to go.

Overpriced dump. No working internet no breakfast of any kind, shower dribbles, no coffee, no cable tv unless you like espn, no refridgerator in room and extremely rude staff.

This is an OK hotel — pretty new and relatively nice. I’d normally give it a 4 or even a 5, but their technology is SO BAD I had to stretch to give them a 2.
First there’s the lights — crappy CFLs that barely give off any light at all. I wonder if they’ve heard of LEDs? I’ve noticed more and more hotels upgrading to LEDs and I’ve done so at home. They are a HUGE improvement over those nonsense curly-​Q bulbs. #FAIL1
Second — They’ve made an effort to add outlets to the bed tables and desk areas, but unfortunately they’ve (again) cheaped-​up and the outlets are sloppy and loose and anything with any weight to it (i.e. a cell phone charger!) won’t stay plugged in. #FAIL2
Third — the Internet speed is barely 1Mbps and they have a «premium» offering at 3Mbps for $ 5 per day. Premium? Really? A few years ago that may have been acceptable, but today it is NOT. I have 100Mbps at home so I know I’m a bit spoiled, but I still expect at least 5 or 6, and 10 should be their minimum target. #FAIL3
Last — they have PURPOSELY locked down their LG TV’s to disallow use of the HDMI inputs. While I can (barely) understand the rationale for #‘s 1, 2, and 3, this action is simply unacceptable. Heck, even the Las Vegas casino hotels and the Disney resort hotels haven’t gone THIS far. If the management here really thinks that forcing me to buy the overpriced Lodgenet (now Sonifi) movies they have another think coming. Instead I watched on my laptop while I made plans to NEVER stay here again. #MEGA-​FAIL
Management: I’d LOVE to hear an explanation of why you went out of your way to make sure your guests could not use the HDMI inputs on your TV’s. I’ll bet there are thousands and thousands of other TripAdvisor readers who are also curious.
Waiting for a response …

I was very impressed with the Overland Park Marriott Courtyard. The rooms, halls, and lobby were extremely clean. The room had a very modern look to it. There were plenty of very accessible plugs to recharge our phones, laptop, and camera batteries. We used the indoor pool and it was clean with plenty of towels available. The king sized bed was very comfortable and I slept well. There was a pull out couch (or should I say love seat) that will sleep one. It was also comfortable.
If I’m back in the area I would definitely stay there again. I would try to get a room away from the elevator and ice machine (this wasn’t a problem for us). We stayed in a room facing Metcalf Ave and we could hear some road noise (especially on a rainy morning). I would try to get a room not facing Metcalf Ave. The noise wasn’t bad, as it did not keep me awake.
Some rooms have mini fridges. Unfortunately we could not get one. We had to keep filling our cooler with ice to keep our drinks cold. Wish they had more mini fridges (one for each room).
Helpful Tip for GPS Users: The hotel address is 11 301 Metcalf Avenue, which would lead you and your GPS to believe that the entrance is off of Metcalf at 113^th street. It is not. You need to turn at 112^th street to get to the entrance. There is an island dividing north and south at 113^th street so if you are driving southbound the GPS will take you a round about way via 115^th street. I found the best address to use is 6920 W 112^th St Overland Park.

Do not stay here. It is 1030 pm and in the courtyard surrounded by many guest rooms is a large inconsiderate group of people drinking, talking, and laughing loudly. When I contacted the «manager», that I believe is the only person working, she said people can be out there all night if the wish. Really??? So guests are trying to sleep yet a group brings a cooler of drinks and has a party.
Well we will never stay in another Marriott Courtyard again. It is like animal house here.
So much for being a Marriott top“frequent flyer”…

Usually a Courtyard is a Courtyard is a Courtyard… and I certainly spend enough time in them to not feel the urge to review each and every one of them. However, this one is sub-​par. The desk chairs are so ergonomically incorrect to be almost criminal. I will book a massage IMMEDIATELY after my return to work out the knots in my shoulders. The bistro is a bad idea in many Courtyards: it’s not really a restaurant or a bar, it’s a place that serves microwaved frozen food and has not clue about drinks that aren’t already bottled (e.g. beer). Also, it’s always understaffed, so the wait for a glass of wine and a «flat bread» is forever. Either have a bar or don’t, the «bistro» is not an acceptable middle ground. I’m also bitter that all these Courtyards renovate the lobbies at great cost, yet leave the guest rooms untouched. Who cares about the lobby? Figure out a way to not have the coffee maker on my sink instead! Kind of done with this one…

This courtyard is great! I stay here every time I’m in Kansas City and am never disappointed. Staff is friendly and rooms are always clean. Most important, it’s a great place to stay as a business traveler to get a good nights sleep because it’s quiet!

Marriott on college and Metcalf is a convenient and clean option located south of downtown in Overland Park. The Marriott has recently undergone major renovations and boasts large rooms, comfortable beds and most importantly great pillows.
There is a bar and grille down stairs as well as a large conference ballroom. There are numerous business sweets (meeting rooms) with wireless Internet access, media hook ups and comfortable chairs to keep you attentive and awaked during those long off site meetings.

Clean, nice, quiet and friendly… what more could you want?
AC/​Heating system is a bit weird. Our heater would turn on to warm the room up. When it was warm, the AC would cool it down… this cycle would go on all night… even when switched to off. We finally asked to change rooms… which the staff gladly did for us. I couldn’t say anything bad about this place other than that, but it was quickly resolved.
