This is our 2nd time at the hotel since it opened in roughly 2006. The first experience was "busy" but OK.

So I was hoping for greatness during our week long stay -- and got nothing close to it.

We are Marriott Rewards members -- travel with the chain a lot & this stay was booked for a week-long stay.

But we were treated just like every other tourist that sails through Gettysburg for a one-nighter during the peak visitor season: ignored, and maybe tolerated. We are just disposable customers in their eyes. Ouch.

None of our check-in requests were honored. None. This reservation was booked a long while ago. Since when do members get so dissed?

Our bathroom was filthy -- and may I simply pose this question: would it kill housekeeping to actually CLEAN a bathroom & vacuum the darn floor these days? What gives?

This is a PROBLEM at almost every Courtyard, every. single. time. They aren't clean. Ever. I actually bring my own bathroom cleaner, Lysol wipes & Windex. They should be paying ME!

Next on my gripe list is our suprise 6 am wake-up call...because we didn't request it. As much as it shocked me out of sound sleep, I feel more sorry for the poor sucker who DIDN'T get the intended call & most likely overslept. Hope it wasn't his/her wedding day or something.

On the 2nd day of our trip, I went to the front desk during a slow time of the day to "chat" with the staff & let them know they already had 3 strikes one day into my stay.

The nicely dressed gentleman could not have cared less. Didn't even give me obligatory throw-away responses. A few excuses...the stink-eye...an attitude. And then nothing.

Just totally despondent & apathetic. I felt more upset after I spoke to him, just b/c I realized he really doesn't care. And neither does Marriott, it seems.

Lately I've become to believe to the Courtyard Marriott is just coasting along with the expected traveler traffic. They just expect guests, and it shows. How about anticipating your customer? How about at least reading the preference notes in my Rewards profile? I feel like I'm wasting my breath & my money.

I wish the chain would at least TRY to make a stay worthwhile, but I suspect they will ultimately flame out to the next, biggest chain if they continue with this apathy.

Next time we will stay next door at the newer, bigger, nicer Wyndham -- they have rewards programs, too. And I'm sure they couldn't treat me any worse than the Marriott at this point.

I'm kickin' you to the curb, Marriott.

My husband and I, as well as my sister & brother, booked rooms at the Courtyard Marriott for Memorial weekend. The hotel was very nice and clean. The staff were friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

It was everything that I would expect from a Courtyard. The only problem was that its outside of town, away from everything. Locals say that the complex of two hotels, a few restaurants and a giant "empty" movie theater was built in the area because of a casino that was planned, but voted down. It looks out of place, but give it time, I'm sure they will continue to build around it. It actually in a nice location, just off the highway. The area is clean and beautiful. If your ok with not being in town, you can't beat this courtyard. The price was right

We stayed at the Gettysburg Courtyard for one night. It was a stop over on a longer trip. I found the property to be well situated very close to the highway and a lot of places to eat, shop ect. The hotel is about a five minute drive from the battlefield. It is right next to a movie cinema that has a 30 minute recap of the battle. We didn't go, but heard good things about it.

The staff was very friendly. The hotel was very very clean. We had a room that had a king size bed and a sleeper sofa. The bed was very comfortable. We didn't use the sleeper sofa but it looked good enough if you needed the extra room or had a disagreement with your significant other along the way. The bathroom was a good size.

My wife complained that the ventilation in the gym was poor.

We skipped the 7.95 continental breakfast and went to the Lincoln dinner in town where we ate very well for about $5 each. We were there on a Thursday night and went out for a late diner and a few drinks. Just FYI- Gettysburg is also a college town so expect a lively crowd in the local watering holes when school is in.

The battlefield was amazing and we just missed the new visitor's center - next time.
