Courtyard By Marriott Sandestin Grand Boulevard

“Good value and location”

Clean room. Good location. A Publix is 2 minutes away. The beach is a short 10 minute drive. Free parking. Professional staff.

“Interesting stay”

Hotel was nice and updated. Room was comfortable. It is in a great area and overall we enjoyed our stay. The issues we ran into are things other people posted about but I dismissed until I was there.

Hotel was nice and updated. Room was comfortable. It is in a great area and overall we enjoyed our stay. The issues we ran into are things other people posted about but I dismissed until I was there. The towels in the bathroom truly feel like sandpaper. I couldn’t believe it until I tried it. Hopefully they start using some fabric softener. The biggest issue is the elevator. They only have one serving the front desk area. I later learned there is a second elevator on the opposite side of the hotel but I didn’t try it so I do not know if it works. I used the one I was told to use. We waited 5-10 minutes each time to get on the elevator. And during peak times we waited a lot longer. Don’t make the mistake we made…we accidentally got off on the wrong floor, thinking it was our floor when other people got on. We had to wait for 15 minutes for the elevator to come back to us to get to our room. The last two things to note were the shower did not have any shampoo (two bottles of body soap and a bottle of conditioner and I confirmed the two body soaps were the same inside) and the shower had a lot of sand in it from the last guest. Other than that, the room was clean and comfortable.

“Decent Hotel, But Only For a Night or Two”

Pros – good location, close to shops and restaurants, short drive to other attractions/beaches. Very nice décor. Available ($$) breakfast in lobby bistro was very good.

Pros – good location, close to shops and restaurants, short drive to other attractions/beaches. Very nice décor. Available ($$) breakfast in lobby bistro was very good. Cons – requested a balcony when booking, didn’t get one. We booked a room for 2 adults (king bed and sofa bed in the room) for an 8-night stay. The room was rather small if intended for up to 3 people. Coffeemaker took up half the counter space in the bathroom, and there was no place to store toiletries. “Sitting area” was the sofa bed and an oversized ottoman, no table of any sort. The sofa was the most uncomfortable piece of furniture I’ve ever been subjected to. A concrete slab would be just as cozy. One small throw pillow on said sofa did nothing to improve the comfort level. About 1/3 of the closet was taken up by linens/pillow for the sofa bed. Rooms are maintained every other day with full service on Day 6. This would be sufficient if the room was supplied for the number of people booked. In-room coffee was 2 regular/1 decaf with 2 sleeves of fixings: one packet of artificial sweetener, one packet of sugar, one tiny packet of powdered creamer that contained about a teaspoon of “creamer”, not even enough to change the color of the coffee. So, either 1 person drinks coffee or you’re only allowed 1 cup every other day. Thanks for your concern, but I’ll take responsibility for my caffeine intake! No complementary coffee available in the lobby but you’re welcome to purchase overpriced Starbucks at the bistro. Outdoor hot tub was monopolized by families allowing their little kids to use the hot tub as their play space. Gas firepit is a nice idea but needs to be reignited every 5-6 minutes. This hotel seems to be more business traveler oriented. It’s fine for a night or two but if you’re vacationing in the area you might want to consider an extended-stay hotel.

“Marriott HQ should visit this Hotel and do drastic upgrades - not worth the high daily charge.”

This hotel looks lovely on the outside and lobby. Then, taking the elevator (had to be the first one made by Otis!!), the elevators (2) floor was disintegrating, each elevator.

This hotel looks lovely on the outside and lobby. Then, taking the elevator (had to be the first one made by Otis!!), the elevators (2) floor was disintegrating, each elevator. They were very, very slow going up and down - ten minute each time. No bottled water in the room or front desk. And absolutely no ice, let alone ICE machines, as advertised on each floor. We had to call down to the front desk each time we ran out. Bistro staff was friendly. Bistro Menu very expensive!!
