Courtyard Peoria

just stayed there on a business trip. saw the great Unilocal reviews and called immediately to book a room. they asked for payment over the phone so we gave them my bosses company card. they can only email a confirmation to one email address with no cc., so i gave them mine.
they emailed me a receipt, which i forwarded to my boss. when i check in, the night clerk, asks for a credit card. i figure this is to cover extras, food, etc. Instead, he erases the mastercard info and charges the whole stay on my personal amex. Never tells me this.
the room smelled musty, like dog. or worse yet b.o.
room was small and tv is beside the bed so you have to look sideways when watching tv in your bed. remote was filthy.
when i catch the billing error on my statement, i call up the hotel, and the guy starts arguing with me asking how they’re going to get paid, and what exactly do i want him to do about it. he cant find the mastercard in the system, so he automatically thinks im wrong and starts arguing with me. he finally finds the mastercard in they system, but does not know how to rebill, so he says the manager will have to call me back. its been an hour and no call.

Really nice rooms that were clean and new. The staff was super nice and I had a great stay. I never checked out the breakfast because I went out to eat for breakfast but from what I saw it looked pretty good.

We arrived at the courtyard Marriott after a playing a show in Peoria. After receiving some not so hopeful news about our reservation from the lady on the phone we were delighted to arrive at the hotel to meet Elmer. Elmer showed amazing hospitality by giving us not only a warm welcome but also being extremely accommodating. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable bringing us rollaway beds and plenty of sheets. Three cheers for Elmer! A+

Very nice, comfortable and clean room with complimentary wi-​fi. Friendly staff, I would definitely stay here again.

I don’t always stay in Peoria, but when I do, I stay at the Courtyard on W War Memorial Drive.
The only negative is its a little bit of a trick to find the first time. Google maps turn by turn will mislead you, which is not fun when you get in at 11pm and you’re exhausted from 8 hours of flights.
After that, its all plusses. The breakfast in the morning is delicious and they’re super friendly. In the evening I’ve eaten at the bistro quite a few times and the evening lady there is awesome. Front desk has always been helpful with all my various needs and my room has always been nice and clean.
As someone who’s practically lived at this hotel some months, I most definitely recommend them.

It’s your standard Courtyard that is updated to the latest standards, uses the 2008 designs/​décor, so you will find the new and improved lobbies and of course the Bistro. And yes, it has the customary Starbucks coffee machine.
+Spacious Rooms. If you were lucky, you might be assigned a small balcony that had a small chair. While the view wasn’t great, you either overlook the highway or the parking lot, it was nice to be able to get some fresh air.
+ Free wifi that actually worked
+ Shower head was high and no ducking was necessary in order to use
+ The tub had a small space to sit on or place things on without getting wet
+ Extremely friendly staff was extremely friendly during my stay
+ Location– it was next to or within a 5 minute drive of restaurants
+The king bed rooms, the bed wasn’t against a shared wall and so it allowed for less noise from other rooms to be heard
Cons:
— Location– This place is off of an access road and 10 to 1 your GPS will have you circling around forever. When I called they weren’t shocked at all that I was lost and sort of laughed about how many people have issues when I arrived asking about their location.
–TV reception– This appears to be a continuing trend with all hotels that I have been staying with. The digital channels will short out if there is any type of weather or connections issues. Not a deal breaker, but extremely annoying when trying to watch a game of any sort.
**Tip for finding your way to the hotel, look for a mall and drive around it until you see Teamsters Drive. There are small signs, but it you aren’t looking in the right place, you will miss them.

About as good a hotel as you can stay in anywhere…
They have all the amenities I’ve come to expect from the Marriott Courtyard chain; friendly staff, a clean spacious room, an «in-​room» coffee maker (although it’s an outdated 4-​cup drip variety), a decent sized updated TV, comfortable mattress and pillows, complimentary shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion, a hair dryer, pool, fitness center, public computers & printers for use, The Bistro*** (a restaurant and bar of sorts), and so on…
*** I occasionally eat at «The Bistro» right here in the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott hotel, where they serve a decent breakfast and a decent dinner (mostly of a sandwich variety). Eating here at The Bistro, It’s more of a convenience than anything else, but they have, in addition to their food menu, a full bar to wind down in if needed…
The hotel price is reasonable and varies depending on room availability. The place is hard to find your first time here and the entrance is found off the mall drive. Good location, It’s not too far from all the action…
Without sounding too redundant, if you’re in Peoria this Marriott Courtyard is worth the stay…

Love this hotel great location and staff super clean

I stayed here recently and was thoroughly impressed with both the staff, the accommodations and the overall look of the hotel. The rooms were nice and well-​kept. The lobby/​bar/​food areas were all very nice and modern. It was nice to not only have the mini-​mart near the check-​in desk, but also a pretty full menu of items from breakfast into dinner, plus a bar and Starbucks station. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Fantastic, newly updated Courtyard!

This is a good place to stay if you find yourself in Peoria.
I’ve stayed in a few other hotels in town and have been disappointed by each of ‘em, but this Courtyard is a solid one. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and well-​kept. Not much more one can ask for in a hotel.
If you frequent Marriott in your travels – especially the Courtyards – you’ll find that this one meets expectations quite nicely. It’s also close to shopping and the basic food places you’ll likely need.
