The CYs before the Bistro renovation seemed to have absolutely nothing as far as food/drinks for dinner, which always motivated me to stay elsewhere. Now at CY, if I've worked a long day and don't want to go out for dinner, at least I have the option of grabbing a hot sandwich and going straight to the hotel room. And in typical Marriott fashion they even have the exact same menu at all the CYs I've stayed at from LA to NJ.
True...and in that regard the evening bar and restaurant is a definite improvement over the previous F&B options (i.e. none) at most Courtyards.
Like the others, I think the breakfast service is a step back from the old buffet.
