Anyone have any experience recently at either place?
My situation is almost identical (6 nights instead of 4), and I decided to reserve a room at the Courtyard. I've stayed at the Marriott before and got no Platinum recognition to speak of ("We are a resort!"). The Courtyard is a little better located for what I need to do there, and the free internet was probably the deciding factor.
I've read the comments about small and even shabby rooms at the Courtyard, but I spend almost no time in my room, anyway, so I don't care very much. A nice view would make a difference, but not enough.
