There used to be a pedestrian access to Langsuan that we used via Soi Mahatlek Luang 2 and even I used a motorcycle to go through. It's often blocked by traffic arm barrier and sometimes a guard. It comes out on the Langsuan side near Kriyoga Asia supermarket. Used it several times to pickup takeout food at the nearby Home Kitchen (Khrua Nai Baan) when we stayed at the St. Regis.

November 2021
Had a brief, one night stay here. Very impressed with hotel and staff.
After getting my negative COVID test and released from Test and Go at Aloft, I made a quick reservation at Courtyard to spend a night prior to onward travel. (I was hesitant to make onward plans until I knew I was clear from any potential quarantine).
Made the reservation at 9:30 AM. ~1700 THB for King room. Unreal value. included breakfast and 1000 bonus points. Did on-line check in for 11AM
Arrived at the hotel around 11AM, and they were already well prepared for my arrival. Front desk staff was warm and welcoming. Front desk manager and General Manager both arrived at the desk promptly to welcome me back to the property, noting it had been 10 years since my last visit, which is accurate.
Brief delay while they confirmed my room was ready, during which time the staff politely chatted with me about prior visit to Thailand this year, onward travel plans, etc. Could not have been more warm and engaging.
Upgraded to a newly remodeled end room, which was a larger version of the Standard King. (I was much more interested in early check-in then any type of suite upgrade). Couple pics below. Liked the room a lot. Well appointed and bright. Plate of fresh cut fruit was also waiting for me, along with a handwritten note from GM.
2 small nits - All the light switches for the main room are located bed-side, which took some getting used to. And due to the bathroom configuration, the shower was oddly shaped and a bit small.
Breakfast at the 1st floor cafe was a mix of buffet items (bakery, cereal, salad, etc) and choice of hot, made to order entre. Lounge still not open. Tuk Tuk shuttle to nearby BTS stations was available if needed.
All in, it is obviously a very well run hotel. Every staff member encountered was friendly, with a genuine greeting and smile.

I have a 1-night reservation here tomorrow and went over to check out the room today. The glass window between the bathroom and bedroom has a shade that can be lowered to block the view.
The lady that showed me the room said that only family rooms and suites have bathtubs. I can see how this would have been a solid option if they still had a lounge. Non-renovated rooms have carpeting. Renovated rooms have some type of wood flooring. Hopefully I'll see one tomorrow. I was considering canceling, but what I saw today didn't scare me. It took 12 minutes to walk from Chit Lom BTS and we took the hotel's 4-wheel tuk tuk back in about 6 minutes. They had a small ice chest in the back with cold water!
My Staycation rate with 6 pm checkout was only 1,799 THB + tax. Includes breakfast for one person even though the reservation is for two of us?

Courtyard Bangkok. December, 2021
We stayed here one night because one of their Staycation packages offered 6 PM checkout and we had a late flight. We almost canceled, but took a trip over to the property the day prior to arrival to check out the room. In the end, we decided that we could tolerate it for just one night.
I was pleasantly surprised. The location is poor because it is ~12 minutes walk to Chit Lom BTS station. If available, the property has a 4-wheel tuk tuk that will drive you to either Chit Lom or Ratchadamri. I was especially impressed by the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff. We only interacted with three of them, but they were all on their game.
We were upgraded to a renovated corner room. 35 m2. The bathroom has a window to the main room, but a shade can be pulled down to cover it. The room was in very good condition. Clean and modern with a good layout.
I could never figure out how to work the thermostat. It was either on or off. I was unable to get it to stay at any one temperature.
The corner of the bed frame is a safety hazard. I scratched my leg on it twice. You can see a metal cover has been placed over the corner, but it doesn’t extend all the way to the top.
To kill some time after our 6 PM checkout, we went to the building immediately next door for a 2-hour massage. It was a “Let’s Relax” branch on the ground floor. We had massages in Thailand every day for 17 days and my wife and I agree that this was the best. These ladies really know what they are doing. I would return there even if we weren’t staying at the hotel. 600 THB for two hours.
This property permanently closed its lounge in November, but I think I might stay here again some time if the price is as good as the 1,799 THB + tax we paid.

Nice review CO-PLAT. I actually consider the location a plus at times. It is close enough to the BTS station but tucked away and a bit quiet. I think the dining is pretty good and will often dine here even when I am not staying there, They are often available at 50% discount on Eatigo.

With construction of one of the neighboring buildings completed two years ago, is the alley to Lang Suan Road now completely closed? Or is it possible to carefully walk to the Sindhorn Midtown?

Yes, you can walk to Sindhorn Midtown from there, there is a pedestrian gate of the Sindorn area, which you can pass.

Just did 1-night stay here. As Ambassador was upgraded from base (old) room to new renovated room. In the Marriott app check-in I was offered renovated corner room, but when arriving there in the evening at 16.30 or so, they downgraded to the just renovated room, despite in app availablity of renovated corners also available. I understood that this is quite elite-heavy hotel, with any given day at least 5 Ambassadors, 15 to 20 Titaniums and the rest seems to be Platinums. Half of the building is currently under renovations, and the open part is running quite at the full load. The renovated room is pretty decent - I like the light colour tones and proper working desk and chair.
As welcome gift choice was given either 500 points, or 10USD per day or breakfast. Selected breakfast, which was pretty decent for Courtyard - some cheeses, 2 fresh vegetable juices, different hot options etc.
Also was given voucher for evening happy hour - 2 hours of freeflow drinks (alcoholic) from 5pm to 7pm and 2 snacks to be chosen from dedicated menu (2 snacks per person, so if 2 persons, then 4 snacks). I understand that voucher is once per stay, so perfect for one-night stays.
No in-room welcome amenity given.

Checked in for a 1 night TnG arriving just after midnight. Easily found the driver in the airport and was swiftly taken to the back of the hotel in a parking garage for the test. Recieved an email around 7.5 hours later with my negative result. No upgrade was given (nor did I ask) but was surprised to see the 3 glass snack jars in my room which was useful for my midnight snack. The price was right 5900 baht,especially since I was going to bed immediately.
