Courtyard Alexandria, LA [Master Thread]
Stay Report - 2/12 - 2/13
Location: The hotel is located at the intersection of US 165 and 71 near the Alexandria Mall. This means within a half mile are a dozen places to eat from fast food to sit down places, an Albertson's Grocery store, a gas station, a Walmart and a number of other stores. The Alexandria Airport is 15 minutes away and downtown is about 10.
Hotel: A newer style CY with three stories though the parking lot was a little small. The lobby however is really nice with a big sitting area, business center, Bistro and a small pantry. There was an outdoor pool and a fire pit as well. The whole newer style CY concept is actually very pleasant for me and I liked being at this hotel.
Check In: I arrived late (10 PM) and there wasn't much in the way of friendliness or elite recognition, in fact the agent didn't even get my status right. I was offered points or the F&B credit and I took the points.
Room: I was really annoyed to find as a Platinum Premier I'd been given an accessible room with a roll in shower. The room itself was actually quite nice with high ceilings, a newer style SmarTV, the upgraded CY design with a couch and a nice large bed but the bathroom was awful. I hate hate hate these bathrooms as they end up flooding.
Other: No issues getting a 2 PM checkout. Overall the hotel is nice and works well if you have to be here and I'd be back, hopefully in a better room though.
