Thanks for report on the Courtyard. I need to reach a little town not far from the SC border by 8:30 am so thought about trying out the Courtyard by the Buford Mall and hope there would not be a lot of traffic early in the morning going northeast.

The "along-the-route" feature mentioned by Socrates says this is the last Marriott property on this route until would reaches Anderson, SC which is too far the other side of my destination.
