The night auditor, Erik, went above and beyond the call of duty. My battery died during the night and Erik used his car and jump cables to get my truck started after his shift ended. The hotel was clean, quiet and the staff were all friendly. I highly recommend the Courtyard by Marriott Oldsmar.

did not stay there so I can't give a review. I wish they would offer local and city discounts so that we could have more getaways.

The best thing about this courtyard Marriott is the location. That along is worthy of five stars. It's tough to beat since it's in such close proximity to just about everything, from shopping to restaurants and even a golf range just around the corner. The rooms are decent, I was expecting a little more since they had supposedly upgraded my room. Just felt very much like a standard room, with the exception of a bar soap, no toiletries were available. Gum and pool area is more of the same, typical, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The Hotel felt clean and updated, I would probably consider staying here again in the future but only for business.

This hotel is always clean and typically I'm able to check in early. Staff is all friendly!

My Sister and niece reserved this stay on Booking.com for 5 days 4 nights. While the rate was perfect u don't find out until you check in that they want a $200 per night incidental hold on your room ($1000) for any damages and such. We thought it was a communication misunderstanding because the young lady had to call her supervisor in order to confirm it was per night not just 1 night. I inquired as to what could possibly have happened in this hotel for them to charge an extra fee for $200 per night. We were disappointed as the supervisor told her we can immediately cancel our room and we could go else where. Say less trick! I walked across the parking lot to the Holiday Inn Express. I was hit with a burst of lemon citrus fresh air when the doors opened to the lobby to a modern clean updated space. Handsome Caleb (biblical name which we connected to devine intervention) because he had a 2 queen bed room available at a rate of $112 a night w just a $50 per room incidential fee. we immediately checked in and was told about the complimentary breakfast, biscuits w gravy pancakes turkey and pork sausage a variety of cereals, toast, danishes, fruit, a juice bar, apple, cranberry and orange not watered down w also egg and cheese omelettes and grits. Coffee regular and decaf, Delicious. my sister and niece were so excited that the room at the Courtyard didnt work out. I called them the next day and spoke to a supervisor and was told the General Manager for the two Marriott hotels in that area Francesa Garmon made the decision for the $200 a night incidential charge. I stated Oldsmar is not a party town like Miami and Las Vegas for damages to be incurred at that rate per night and you have families w young children who probably was just able to travel after 3 years of Covid and I'm sure have their finances carved out to arrive to their hotel tired and hungry to be told oh yeah we taking an extra $1000 on your credit card for your stay. She further informed me that they are working on putting that in the description for booking sites when reserving the hotel. I said you know dayum well you all purposely don't disclose that information until a person arrives because who would book before hand? Marriott do better.

Nice clean hotel! The TV in our room was not working. Checking in was smooth. The shower was perfect. Location was great close to an event we were attending. Also nice restaurants nearby. The bed and pillows were comfortable. One thing I noticed that the elevator was hot and the push button panel was loose.

Recently I started traveling again for business and I have had some wonderful experiences at Marriott hotels. I almost stopped using Marriott as a go to chain after I had a wedding reception at this hotel in December 2021. It made me realize that I needed to not only post this review but I also needed to be mindful and post positive reviews in the future. I was widowed over 10 years ago and after becoming engaged in 2019 decided to hold our wedding and reception locally. We wanted a one stop shop due to several elderly guests and we were assured because of positive reviews from 2018 and early 2019 that this hotel could make it happen. This was an important event for myself and my fiancée. We waited almost 2 years to get married because of the pandemic. I'm fairness to the hotel the ceremony went extremely well. The end of the evening was disappointing when the bar closed down early to start. By the next day we began hearing from several guests about various issues. People actually told us that they were shocked and surprised at the lack of variety the bar offered although we chose a premium bar package and assumed this is what our guests would receive. They didn't. I should have realized something was terribly wrong when my husband had to provide the bar with cranberry juice. I don't know whether this was just poor planning or done on purpose but it wasn't right. Maybe this hotel didn't consider this an important event but it meant everything to us. And yes I did contact the hotel on the next business day and was made to feel like somehow this was our fault for not pointing it out the day of the wedding although I didn't start hearing about 99% of the issues until the next day. This was an extremely disappointing experience and one that can never be rectified.

I chose this hotel because I've stayed at Courtyards before and wanted that experience. I was a bit disappointed that the hotel was undergoing a major remodeling, and the elements of this brand were not there, yet the hotel was charging full rate (~$250 per night). While I'd have to say the staff members were very nice, as well as our room, the entire sitting area downstairs was entirely boarded up, the workout room was unavailable, and the breakfast area only had a very limited menu of pre-made items. The price of a stay should have been much less since their normal amenities weren't available.
I stayed on 2 different nights over the course of one week. Overall, the rooms are dated - around the 1970's. I was told the whole hotel is going to be remodeled stating in under 2 weeks with a completion deadline of end December. The rooms were clean. The only area that should have been maintained better is the tile entry block to the bathroom - my room # 220 - it was almost black, a little elbow grease with Mr. Clean miracle sponge and it would have looked much nicer. Also, room 220 is next to the linen closet, so if you want to sleep past 8:30 do not get a room next to the linen closet. My second night was in room 428, which had been maintained better. Breakfast did not come with the stay but they have a reasonably priced breakfast available. Although a side of eggs was not on the menu, I was able to get a side of 2 eggs for under $5. The staff at the front desk were very nice. I am glad the the hotel is being updated. I plan to return in December to see how the remodeling goes.

I booked here as I really like the Marriott brand. Their rooms are really nice, especially the beds and bedding. I requested a top floor, which I got on check in (although I was told over the phone prior they had none available). When I went to shower, there was no hot water - really luke warm which was disappointing. So a quick shower was happening! If you book here and request a balcony, don't expect to sit outside. It's a very narrow standing area only. They also have a beautiful grotto area that you can sit in in their backyard. Unfortunately, the cushions for the seats were on the ground - dirty, rain soaked and unusable which made the plastic chairs very uncomfortable. They also haven't fully resumed breakfast yet - still a very limited menu to choose from, although the egg sandwich I ordered was delicious. When I explained this to the woman when I was checking out, she was unfazed by the cold shower. I was hoping at least some discount on one of the nights that I stayed, but she just said "sorry, I'll send maintenance up to look at it". Well, hopefully the next guest won't have to deal with that.

Enjoyed staying here while on an away trip to play a game in Tampa. It's clean, well-provisioned, and was a great value relative to where I needed to be for our game the day after I checked into the hotel. Highly recommend this Courtyard!

Had no water and was unwilling to provide it, but otherwise an okay experience But they turned it all around allowing me an extended late checkout in an emergency. 5 stars.
The night auditor, Erik, went above and beyond the call of duty. My battery died during the night and Erik used his car and jump cables to get my truck started after his shift ended. The hotel was clean, quiet and the staff were all friendly. I highly recommend the Courtyard by Marriott Oldsmar.
