Courtyard Marriott

Planning a trip to central New York SUNY Oneonta I booked this hotel and upon arrival was completely surprised by its interior. A beautiful, clean, and modern look with a wonderful front desk staff. I had done a check in from my phone and the paperwork and my room keys were ready and waiting for me. It’s a smoke free facility and my room truly had a great smell — it did not have that stale smoke smell to it. Also the hotel has a quiet time from 11:00 pm — 7:00 am
Spacious first floor room with two queen beds, and a bathroom with very nice shower. This is located a mile from Main Street and offers a lovely restaurant that serves breakfast through dinner.

I stayed here for two nights for a friend’s wedding. I’ve stayed at other Marriotts before and have gotten standard service but the employees at this particular one were really great which deserves praise.
Check-​in was seamless — literally less than five minutes. My room was ready and they gave me my choice of floors. The room was what one would expect to find in a Courtyard Marriott, clean but nothing too remarkable. The front-​desk staff were friendly and helpful.
I had breakfast twice at The Bistro (the Marriott’s food court-​ish area). The morning I was leaving I met some friends who also went to the wedding for breakfast. The staff was very busy but they remained professional and got the food out in a timely manner. I work in retail so I can relate to the stress they were under; kudos to them for keeping their cool!
I really enjoyed my stay — the amenities were what you would expect but the staff made this place a standout.
***Oh one more thing — my GPS couldn’t find this place (it’s only been open ~2 years so if your GPS is older than that you might run into the same problem). I just plugged in the address of the Wendy’s adjacent to the hotel. Happy travels!

This was a very nice hotel. The staff was friendly and the accommodations were beautiful, clean, and new. I prefer hotels with self-​serve coffee available in the morning, as the line was a little long. But the Starbucks brew was great. I loved the ambiance of the fire pit and couches in the backyard. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We made a last minute decision to stay here after a long day at Cooperstown and Ommegang. We called and verified that they had rooms available. We stopped in and quickly had a room paid for by my hubby’s Marriott points! The hotel is brand new and very nice. We loved the outdoor fire pit area. Our room was spacious — I think we ended up with an accessible room — and clean. They have a bistro café and little market but it’s very pricey so we ventured out to the nearby town for dinner. I really like Courtyard hotels and this one was very nice.

Great service and reliable!!!
Even though it’s new and fresh hotel, I had a problem with a cigarette smell and A/​C not working. But after I contact the front desk they apologized, and took full responsibility for that.
Her is what they did:
1. Put the room out of service, till it will be corrected to their standards.
2. Upgraded us in a nicer and bigger room which is called a suite for same price.

My take away:
Problems could always happen, but how we deal with it is what makes us outstanding, and they accomplish that in a 100% ratio!
Would definitely consider it as a place to come back!

Great hotel for someone traveling for business or with a family! I would definitely recommend.

We had a very nice two-​night stay here, and the staff are very friendly. They were especially friendly when my sister locked herself out of her room through a connecting room and the bolt was on. They have a café with good coffee, snacks and drinks. My only complaint is, like many hotels, the walls are thin and we could hear our neighbor’s entire conversation in the morning. Congratulations on the pregnancy by the way!
One of the nicer places to stay in Oneonta.

We spent three lovely nights in the Oneonta Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in April 2015. Lovely, you ask? Why lovely?
Well, we’d just come from a funeral in Pennsylvania and were in the Oneonta area visiting other relatives prior to returning home to the west coast. We were exhausted from the experience, and our kids were.. . well, being kids. They were loud. They were rambunctious. They were sort of crazy.
So, due to the good graces of our local relatives, we were able to arrange for a «vacation» for them while the two of us checked in at the Courtyard for a few nights. What did we do, you ask?
We slept. We hung out in the Jacuzzi in our room. We slept some more. We went out for dinner. We slept some more. We used the workout room in the hotel. We slept some more.
You get the point.
Did we miss our children during the time we were there? Sure we did (and we DID see them daily, so don’t go calling CPS on us). But, we were able to turn the our stay in Oneonta into something of a restorative experience in the process.
As for the hotel itself: Nice, large room with a great Jacuzzi tub (they only have a few of these rooms, so don’t be disappointed if yours doesn’t have one if you don’t ask for it). Good bathroom, with all of the amenities one needs. Good heat and air conditioning.
The pool is small, but we were glad they had one nonetheless.
The lobby /​restaurant /​bar /​gathering area is quite nice. We saw a group of about 15 nicely dressed people utilizing it one night for what looked to be a fun gathering. We ate breakfast there one morning and it was good. Not necessarily great, but definitely good. Oh, and they serve Starbucks coffee, which is a nice touch for Oneonta.
Probably our only complaint about the experience is that they don’t offer a AAA rate for the Jacuzzi room. They do for the standard rooms, but apparently feel that they need to do so for those looking to partake of the Jacuzzi option.
We’ve stayed in a few hotels in the Oneonta area over the years, and this was most definitely our favorite. We’ll be back.
Note that this is a Unilocal 5 star review for a hotel in Oneonta. In another city, this would likely be a 3 or 4 star hotel. But, the options are limited in Oneonta, and this place is definitely the best you’re going to find in the «city.»

I don’t know what that guy with the 3 stars is talking about. This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The accommodations are 5 star for a Courtyard Marriott! The rooms are awesome, view is beautiful of the mountains, and the pool and Lounge are ridiculous!!! This is the most beautiful CM I have ever stayed in! Highly recommended for a lovers getaway or a family. Although I suggest if it’s for a lovers getaway stay aWay from the kids! 20 minutes from the Baseball Hall Of Fame.

I was one of the first people to stay at this hotel in 2013! It was gleaming and had all the amenities you would expect to see at this level of Marriott. The staff had extremely good attention to detail and even remembered the guests names when they came in and out.
Location is perfect… right off the highway and near major fast food, fast casual food, and a Walmart.

Checked in on a whim. Service was prompt and courteous, though dinner recommendation was terrible. Clean, modern rooms. Spacious, with tasteful décor. A bit pricey at $ 159, but couldn’t ask for a nicer room.
There is a small restaurant, a mini market, wireless, internet café, hot tub and gym. Definitely a quality stay.

Very well designed and super clean accommodations.
This hotel is brand spanking new and you can tell by the modern design and squeaky clean setup. Only about 30 minutes from Cooperstown.

Very comfortable, new hotel, with well-​designed rooms. Clean, nice bistro café (serving Starbucks), free internet. One of the only hotels where I actually can reserve adjoining rooms and they will ensure that we get them (most tell you they can’t guarantee this).
Beautiful view of the colleges up in the hills, and conveniently located very close to the interstate. Most importantly, the staff provide excellent service. On more than one occasion they have gone out of their way to make sure our needs were met.
Google Maps identified the place just fine.

The hotel is pretty new and everything seems very updated. The staff while we were there extremely friendly and helpful.
My GPS would not identify the address for this location. When I called the hotel I was told this was an issue and they gave me the McDonald’s address as an alternate. Unfortunately, they gave me the address to a Toyota dealership located about 7 miles from the hotel. :(
The rooms are clean and spacious. We had issues with the pool and hot tub. The pool was over chlorinated and the hot tub jets didn’t work. The hot tub control panel on the wall had a open hole where I guess a switch of some sort used to be.
The fitness center was small, but the equipment worked fine.
One of the minor flaws of the hotel was trying to maintain consistent water temperature, water pressure was not an issue, but water temperature varied and fluctuated as you showered. The free WiFi was also an issue, it was unstable and my phone kept dropping the signal.
The «Bistro» as they called it, located in the lobby offered breakfast and lunch items but were on the pricier side. There are several restaurant’s in the area you can visit, McDonald’s being one of them.
Since the hotel is up on a hill, I imagine it could get precarious in the winter months. There are no reflectors or lightning on the hill leading you to the hotel. So you need to be careful driving up/​down in the evening.
The hotel is perfectly located, not a far drive to Cooperstown, if you’re planning on visiting the National baseball hall of fame and museum. The susquehanna river is right in your backyard. Many things to explore and enjoy in this area. The hotel offers a relaxing break after a long adventurous day.

I am a student at SUCO and I stayed here for a night with my family when they were visiting for parents weekend. The hotel is brand new and the décor is very nice and modern. It has free Wi-​Fi, a small but decent workout room, and a small pool and hot tub. They provide breakfast in the morning and serve Starbucks coffee. Our room was very large and very clean with two flat screen TVs. It had a nice view of the hills and college as well. I am definitely staying here every time my parents come up to visit!

A pretty new gem in the Oneonta crown. My last stay here was at the run down holiday inn so this spot was a pleasant surprise!
Small bistro café near the front desk is the perfect spot for a pre night out drink and appetizers with friends (or alone :)).
If you don’t see the beer you want in the bistro cooler look in the «traditional» courtyard marketplace area for. Yummy Ommegang it other craft selection.
Rooms are large and clean with a large comfortable bed and great flat screen (or should I say the now «to be expected» amenities)
Only one issue for me. The gym is small but pretty new equipment so not a total loss. Small pool as well.
Add bonus is the super friendly waitstaff and location close to downtown.

Very nice new hotel. The king bed in our spacious room was very comfortable. There are good breakfast items for purchase and even wine amongst other grocery options available in the lobby. Unfortunately our visit was tainted by a few issues. 1) The hotel is so new that their address is not recognized on map applications. The secondary address provided on the mobile site to enter in your GPS is not even close to the location. 2) The hotel was woefully understaffed. I had to call 3 times to even get someone to pick up to help with directions. There isn’t even a tape that picks up to provide information. 3) The one staff member in the whole hotel (!!) when we were checking in was so new she was completely flustered. She couldn’t even get our keys made.
Hopefully they will work their kinks out before we return again as it’s a really nice option in Oneonta.

New hotel so the décor is nice, and everything is clean. Downside of this hotel is that it’s a little loud. Can hear every noise in the hallway from bed, and can hear many toilets flushing in the morning… breakfast is tasty but is not really for «on the go», recommend sitting to eat breakfast. No lotion or q-​tips in the bathroom with the toiletries, just shampoo/​conditioner and bar soap. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Overall a wonderful addition to Oneonta, happy to have it!

Well I’m going to leave this unrated if I can, because I didn’t actually stay there. But the service at the bistro with the two women there yesterday was so astonishingly bad, I had to «Yelp» about it…
I was visiting a couple of guests and wanted to get a bite. I stood there with a friend else at the counter, chatting away for 10 minutes while the two women prepared a reuben. At some point one of them bothered to acknowledge me, and said she’d be «right with me.» If «right with me» means another ten minutes, then she told the truth. When I finally got to order, they had run out of what I wanted… naturally. So I went to Wendy’s instead.
They were literally so close I could have touched them, and I repeatedly leaned over to order. I’ve never been so rudely treated or ignored at a restaurant… I’m still wondering if it was some Food Network prank with hidden cameras set up so that one of those manager types could come in and fix the place.
If that’s the kind of service found in the rest of the hotel, I’d go to the Hampton. Looks like I have to rate it, so I’ll give it two stars.

Stayed here for 3 nights while visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame which is an easy 25 minute ride. Hotel is brand new. Nice place with free Wi-​Fi (there was a connection issue which the front desk quickly resolved), small but decent workout room and a small pool and hot tub (only one jet was working). Small hotel restaurant open for breakfast (closes at 10 am — should be open to at least 11 am for late risers on vacation). Room was large and clean. It is located just off of I-​88 and up a hill behind a McDonalds. Our room had a nice view of hills and college. Staff was very attentive and friendly.
