Courtyard by Marriott Raleigh-Durham Airport/Brier Creek

Most guests repeatedly mention clean, comfortable rooms and good housekeeping, but a few reports note issues (scuffed wallpaper, fraying sofa, 'hairy' towels and a cloudy pool) so cleanliness is slightly below perfect.

Service is a standout: numerous reviews call out friendly, helpful and professional staff (multiple mentions of Ron, shuttle driver, Starbucks attendant and courteous desk/culinary/housekeeping teams). A couple of isolated notes suggest front-desk communication could improve, but overall staff consistently exceeded expectations.

Location is repeatedly praised — convenient to shopping, restaurants, grocery, and easy access to the expressway/airport — making this a strong point for most guests.

Many guests loved room size, cleanliness, comfortable beds and walk-in showers; however a minority report an uncomfortable bed or rooms needing refurbishing, so room quality is very good overall with some variability.

Amenities are uneven: the on-site restaurant/bar was closed for weekends/holidays for several guests, the pool was reported cloudy/off-color, and there was no consistent complimentary lobby coffee — these issues lower the amenities score.

Most guests felt the hotel was affordable and good value for its location and service; one review disputed the value relative to price due to room condition, so value sits slightly below excellent.

Food and beverage feedback is mixed: highlights include an excellent lobby café breakfast burrito and polite culinary staff, but recurring negatives are closed restaurant service on weekends and confusion about included breakfast/complimentary coffee.

Overall sentiment is strongly positive — many guests called their stays amazing, relaxing and said they'd return or recommend — tempered by the amenity and occasional room-condition issues noted above.
