Courtyard Springfield Downtown

This is absolutely one of the better Courtyards we have stayed in. The check in lady was nice friendly and efficient. The lobby is nice and inviting, and the outside areas (both front and back) are just begging you to come and sit down and relax. Our room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The only down side is the air conditioner is right beside the desk, which you pretty much need to turn it off or else you will get blown away by it – yes, it is a very powerful and effective air conditioner — capable of taking it from, «Dude it’s hot» to «Polar Bear mode» in just a few minutes. It is right downtown in Springfield, and so there are other things to do around here within walking distance. It also has a nice, if somewhat smallish gym and pool.

As of 2014 I am a huge fan of Marriott branded hotels. I’ve even joined their rewards program. I needed a weekend away from Columbus but were on a bit of a budget and couldn’t venture too far so I thought Springfield seemed like a cool idea — I had never been before. I made reservations here online in advance and got a pretty nice discount for doing so. Upon check-​in the lady at the front desk was incredibly friendly and got me checked-​in in less than 5 minutes. The lobby was very clean, open and cozy, my initial room, however, was not. She had unfortunately checked me into a room that was filthy. I don’t understand how hotels have this issue. Aren’t the housekeepers supposed to communicate with the front desk staff regarding which rooms are ready for guests or not? Eh, anyway I went back down to the front desk and let her know about the room and she promptly checked me into another, much cleaner room. I always carefully exam the hotel room before making myself too comfortable and was surprised to NOT see any moldy areas, spiders or stains on the bedding haha. There weren’t many people staying in the hotel the night I were there, which I believe was a Wednesday or Thursday night, so it was a quite night. No loud, screaming children running through the halls. I didn’t partake in the continental breakfast the next morning, I ended up just grabbing some McDonald’s on my way back to Columbus. Overall I had a rather enjoyable stay here and would definitely recommend this Courtyard.

This hotel is right downtown in Springfield and about a 10ish minute walk from Wittenberg’s campus which I really like and makes it convenient for folks who come back to campus. The hotel is nice and the rooms are a nice size for a Courtyard. The front desk staff was very friendly. They greeted me immediately when I came in the door to check in and each time I came back into the hotel. They were even super friendly when I came in and realized I had left both of my room keys in the room and gave me new ones with no hassle. This hotel also has a restaurant which is nice if you don’t want to leave as well as a small marketplace with snacks and toiletries. This hotel is my favorite one in Springfield, it’s nice, great service, and located close to campus.

I am super disappointed in this hotel staff. I travel a lot and was in a hurry to leave and I accidentally forgot my cosmetic bag in the bathroom. I called immediately to let them know. After 24 hours of them «getting back to me» they said they didn’t have it. I would expect something like this at the days Inn not a Marriott. You have loss my business for good.

I was in town for a funeral unfortunately. I thought the staff was kind and thoughtful, specifically Ronnie. Nice little coffee shop across the street.

Customer service is awesome, awesome, awesome. Room was nice and clean, plenty of parking. They have a restaurant in there too.

First we were checked into a room that was already rented/​inhabited. Our second room was placed right over the entrance to where drunk, noisy, obnoxious wedding guests were coming and going until very late in the evening/​morning. When I called the front desk to see if they could speak to the other guests, the front desk staff was perturbed to even hear from us. We’ve got two young kids who don’t need to be hearing drunken obscenities until way past their bedtime. Horrible horrible hotel. If it weren’t a marriott we would have moves hotels but we are associates and as such (as well as being paying customers) we should be treated much better than this.

The room was just what I expected from stays at other Courtyards. Everything was updated and very clean, the front desk staff was very courteous every time I walked in and/​or out of the front door. They had security walking around the parking lot which I feel is very important when the hotel location is downtown in a large city. The indoor pool and whirlpool were very relaxing, especially after a hot day on the course. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in town.

Not my best hotel stay (and I stay in a LOT of hotels).
Night 1. Late check in. High room with a nice view of the clock tower across the street. Room is slightly dated, but reasonably spacious and laid out well for a business traveller. So far all is well. The earplugs on the nightstand are never a good sign and foreshadowed the rest of my experience. It turns out that the earplugs are there because the hotel is located next to a well used train track, as mentioned in other reviews. This might be annoying for some, but was not my biggest concern. After the train, I noticed that the old climate control system was very loud, so I turned it off. Then I noticed that there was a pretty annoying buzz or hum in the room coming from some sort of ADT security apparatus on the wall. I tapped it a couple times (bad idea) and then called the front desk at around midnight to ask about it. They confirmed that yes, that doohickey on the wall does, in fact, hum or buzz in some rooms and that it might go away when the lights are off (not). Then came my favorite part of the evening. At around 12:30 AM there was a vigorous knocking on my room door. After rising and partially dressing I had the pleasure of arguing through the door with a fairly aggressive security guard. She insisted that I open the door (presumably to confirm my safety), which I eventually did after a brief debate. Once my safety and the intact-​ness (not sure if that’s really a word) of the room were verified, I returned to bed to enjoy the ultra-​loud TV noise from the room next door. My neighbor was presumably hard-​of-​hearing, inconsiderate, and not an early riser, because I was able to follow along with a variety of programming all night long. I am not sure if it felt like we were sharing a TV due to paper thin walls or the presence of the adjoining room door between our sleeping quarters. I am sure that if I busted down the door and threw my neighbor’s TV out the window, I would have received another visit from the crack security team, so I just buried my head in pillows and tried in vain to sleep.
Night 2. Holy cow. I swear the TV is louder than last night. Midnight switch to another room handled acceptably by the front desk. The new room is more peaceful.
Other comments. The breakfast was ok, but uninspiring. The eggs were beyond dry (perhaps a NASA recipe), but the standard fare was available. The gym is typical. Two treadmills, an elliptical, and a bunch of barbells. The indoor pool looked fine through the window.
In summary, not a great place for a light sleeper. My company recently switched our «preferred» hotel in the area to this property and I must say I am not thrilled with the change.

Good hotel with friendly service. Despite the nearby railroad track, I didn’t have a problem with noise from the trains. The walls between rooms could have been a bit more soundproof though. The A/​C unit in my room is controlled electronically with buttons/​LCD and didn’t want to shut off whether I adjusted the fan or raised the temperature, so I had to unplug it to stop it. There was also somebody’s hair on the hair dryer. I went down to the hot tub to relax, but the temperature was only 86 degrees and the jets were nonfunctional. But the bed was comfortable and the room was clean, so I was content.

Best hotel in Springfield.

The first and foremost thing about this hotel is its location – its next to an active railroad. Admittedly the trains aren’t allowed to honk their horns next to the hotel… but if you can imagine a freight train rattling by a few feet away I’m sure you can imagine the effect it might have. They provide ear plugs in the rooms.
I should probably have prefaced this review with the fact that I’m relatively biased against this hotel because it’s construction was predicated on the tearing down of an extraordinarily beautiful and historically relevant arcade. It makes me bitter that they thought a hotel in a wacky location (read: next to a train track???) was sufficient reason to destroy a local landmark.
Great job Springfield.

I stayed in the Downtown Marriott to attend a meeting and multi-​day workshop. I’ve stayed at other Courtyards and this was one of the nicest. The rooms were spotless and well cared for and the staff was super friendly. I appreciated the reciprocal agreement with the downtown YMCA and the restaurant was decent. I wish the staff at other Courtyards were as friendly as those that worked here. Can’t say I’ll be back to Springfield but I certainly enjoyed my stay.

I must have been tired, but slept soundly with no disturbances of this train that apparently goes by at midnight. Sheets were changed and pillows free of feathers. parking was easy, lobby a little outdated. ordered breakfast but declined after i heard the food attendant hacking outside the door. didnt want to risk it. otherwise. it was the best option in Springfield.

We chose this hotel as the closest (25 miles), nicest hotel with room service to our Christmas destination (the in-​laws). I feared this would be the case and should’ve asked in advance, but the restaurant was closed for all but a few Breakfast hours on Christmas morning. We ordered three out of four of the breakfast menu dishes, knowing we’d have few options the rest of the day (eating at the in-​laws wasn’t going to happen) and two out of three of the meals were absolutely cold. I know I’m asking a lot for someone to work on Christmas, but it was probably one of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever had. On top of being cold, the eggs were underdone and inedible.
The staff at the front desk was nice and we had no maid service due to the holiday. The room was nice, clean, and reasonably priced. The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas and parking was easy.
Since the room had no fridge or microwave, eating was difficult and we felt like homeless people on Christmas. We found a Walgreen’s open in the next town over and bought bread and cheese to make cold sandwiches.
If I were to go to the in-​laws for a different purpose (not a holiday), I’d consider trying the Marriott Courtyard again — unless I find an equally nice hotel with constant room service. In this part of Ohio, it doesn’t look promising.

This place is a Marriott, not an independent Inn, as the name suggests. We started a 2 ½ week string of hotels with a stay here and were completely spoiled. The rooms were nice but the service was the best I’ve ever had in a hotel. Everyone was extremely friendly, from housekeeping & front desk to restaurant. I doubt I’ll ever be back in Springfield but will definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.
