I really like the Marriott Suites on 14th. They normally offer a package at the same rate as the weekend rate that includes parking $16 and breakfast for 2 $26+ when available.
In comparison with the others you get Marriott beds, separate bedroom, 2 TVs, balcony and indoor pool. If you get a package with breakfast it is much upgraded (fresh prepared with omelet crepe station with chef) over Residence Inn's. If light breakfast desired get a good rate and there is a popular bagel place right next door to Marriott Suites and many popular restaurants in walking distance.
While you do get free Internet at the limited service properties the price difference doesn't really make it worth 'downgrading'.
The Courtyard could be said to be on the wrong side of 75/85 for midtown but you do now have Atlantic Center over there.
