Review from Tim L.

One of the better Marriotts I've stayed at. The Courtyard is definitely well set out.
The room was spacious and well furnished with a surprisingly comfortable bed and pillow.
The free internet is definitely a good perk and much welcomed if you're here for work. The only annoying part of the room I was in was it was right at the level of the big spotlights outside that cast an upward light onto the building.
Luckily the heavy drapes blocked out the lights. -

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in March 2012. I made reservations via Priceline's Name Your Price program and got a good deal. But unlike most of the other hotels I stayed at during my 3 week trip, parking and breakfast are not included at the Courtyard.
The room was nice and clean, but small. It is nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. But the tub didn't drain well during a shower and annoyed the heck out of me. The closet was also tiny and the doors pushed against hanging clothes when closed.
As mentioned, parking is not free. There are a couple of options though. You can park yourself for over $30 a day right out front of the hotel. Or you can pay $22 and have the valet park your car for you. I opted for the valet because it's underground. However, my windshield got broken in the process.
The hotel manager promised to pay for replacing my windshield. As of writing this, I've had the windshield replaced and sent the invoice to the manager, but have not received payment.
Wifi is included at the hotel, but the signal was so bad in my room on the second floor that I used the LAN cable instead.
The restaurant is nice, and the food was good. But they haven't designed the restaurant for the large windows they have. It was too hot in the morning when the sun was shining in. And too cold at night when the sun had gone down. On the upside, there was no service charge (other than 15% gratuities) for room service. -

You can't deny that the hotel is in a great location and the views of the river valley are lovely. I quite enjoyed being in the dining area/lounge just for this reason. Front desk and valet service was good. My server at breakfast was halfhearted.
I realize you are paying for location and a nice room, but I'd consider the price very steep for what you get. My bed was comfortable and I appreciated the desk and internet access, but I found the main room and bathroom to be a bit small, therefore crowded. The elevator was occasionally finicky and definitely had me frustrated the first time I had to use it.
Continental breakfast is not included and I found the overall selection and quality to be somewhat poor for the price. They were not on the ball with replenishing food. The muffin I had was very overdone and dry. The coffee was terrible. I walked to Starbucks afterward. Room service ending at 10pm, especially for a weekend, is a little early if you ask me.
I used the fitness room, which is acceptable. The TV on the treadmill I used wasn't working and intermittently flashed. I wished I could have moved the monitor and enjoyed the downtown view instead.
Overall, I'd only recommend this Marriott if it's extremely convenient for you to stay here, helping you to avoid or minimize travel. I attended a function at the Shaw Conference Centre next door, which truly made my life very easy for two days.

Definitely a fan of this Courtyard. Let's start with location - pretty good location for me as far as I'm concerned as it's right down the street from my office. There are quite a few restaurants and bars within walking distance which is nice considering that it's summer time & the perfect time to visit a bar with an outside patio. The rooms are pretty nice & spacious, bathrooms are a bit small, but still nice. Ask for a room that has a river view - the view is awesome. Dining options - yep, there is a nice, but small bar, plus you can grab pretty much breakfast, lunch & dinner in the restaurant.

The Courtyard by Marriott Downtown doesn't have a huge bar, but it is cozy and has a nice view of the river and south side. The wine list in particular has a good selection and reasonable prices. There is also a selection of domestic and imported beers and a menu of food, mostly typical pub items. I had the fries here once and they were hand cut. A classy place for an evening out without the high price tag at some of the other hotels in the area.

The hotel is located on the east end of the safer part of Jasper ave. Venture a block farther east and the area screams of sketchiness. The hotel offers Valet parking (underground) at $22 a night. Get a south facing room and you'll have a beautiful view of the river. They don't have a concierge lounge. The gym is located on the 8th floor and wierdly enough faces a parking lot. I can't understand why they wouldnt have it facing the river! It is small to moderately sized with basic equipment. There is a restaurant on the main level although I'd rather explore the varied dining options in the area. The hotel is alright although nothing really stands out. Unfortuantely I visited the holiday inn nearby and I wouldnt mind trying that out!

My wife and I stay here quite often on our visits into Edmonton. The rooms are clean and well made up. The free wifi is a bonus and the restaurant and lounge is quite good as well. I've never had any problems with this hotel as most of the staff are quite pleasant and courteous and efficient.
The rates for this motel are also reasonable on weekend stays. I wish the valet parking was complimentary but not likely to happen being in a downtown location. The views of the river are fantastic no matter what the season.
Be sure to ask for the best available rates from the hotel directly as expedia or http://hotels.com cannot be relied upon to give you the best rates.
