Courtyard Burlington, VT [Master Thread]
Any recent experiences at this Courtyard? Reviews on tripadvisor are top notch, but prices for a Courtyard are rather high. Any recent experiences would be appreciated, particularly related to elite treatment, restaurant and anything else thought to be helpful?

Great property and staff in a great location. Every weekend during the summer the is pricey, lots of tourists, sports activities and small fair/ city events.

Upscale, not a typical courtyard. Closer to a FS property. Have stayed several times and last was in 2019. Excellent location, would return if I needed to be in Burlington.

Looking more for information on the hotel and its facilities and elite treatment. I usually tend to have breakfast and at least one dinner in the hotel. Any information on the property and elite breakfast is really what I am looking for. Insight into these would be greatly appreciated.

I stayed there about a year ago. I really like the location, the rooms are a little dated, but everyone was very friendly. IIRC the elite breakfast was $15 to $20 off breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Bleu Northeast Kitchen, but its been some time since my stay so I could be misremembering. I did have a great dinner and breakfast there. They did not proactively offer a room upgrade, but I asked for one during checkin and they happily provided me an upgrade to one of the rooms with a large bathtub.

Overall, I'm remembering them treating elites pretty well...I've always gotten a high floor with a view of Lake Champlain.

Stayed in July. Really thought property and staff were outstanding. Seemed totally like a full service hotel. Breakfast was excellent. Per Marriott standards 10 dollars off per person per day for elites. Bleu Northeast Kitchen was superb. Had dinner there several times and really enjoyed it. Location is excellent, close to everything. Was upgraded on arrival and very satisfied with a spacious room with nice view of Lake Champlain. Hotel was extremely clean and all the staff were very efficient, friendly and responsive. Would definitely return if travels brought us back to Burlington.

Stayed there last week. Stunning water views and an upscale feel for a CY. Capable bar. Did not eat in restaurant. Coffee in lobby through morning hours. Breakfast is a $10pp food and bev voucher.

Stayed mid August and found the room upgrade (LT Titanium) to be decent but not amazing. Still by far, my favourite place to stay in town. Like others have said, the staff and location are the best, not a standard CY in North America. Never have had breakfast there because the choices within walking distance are excellent (eg Penny Cluse, Henry’s Diner). But the restaurant in the lobby does do a better than average dinner but would recommend Hen of the Wood next door more.
