“Very Good Stay”

Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley

4 of 5 stars
Pittsburgh
Jan 29, 2008

My wife & I stayed at this property last November. Many of the prior reviews are "spot on." Yes, there is noise, but, since it is a block from the 405, what can you expect? Once acclimated, we had no problem sleeping.

Location is great -- a lot of restaurants within walking distance; a convenience store to the left of the hotel; & some on-street parking, also to the left, if you are brave enough to take the chance on availability. We used the garage, which was very convenient.

The front desk was very friendly & helpful; we had a relatively seamless check in/out.

Only things to consider? First, all rooms may have balconies, but, at least on the 7th floor, the slider only opens a couple of inches, so don't assume that the balcony is usable. Also, the "roof top" pool is on the roof of the 4th, not the top, floor, so don't expect much od a view.

“Sleek Valley Gem”

Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley

1/1 found this review helpful

Our family of four booked into a luxurious King Suite as we were attending a 3 day function nearby and needed space and privacy. It was beautifully appointed, with a king sized bed in one room and a couch, fridge, coffee machine, desk, and chairs in the second room.There was enough room in the living room to accommodate a roll-out bed as well. Both rooms had modern TVs and attractive fittings. The bathroom was spacious and clean and had a large supply of plush towels and lovely toiletries. Although the hotel is built right next to a busy freeway, I didn’t find the traffic noise intrusive at all (we were on the ninth floor). There is reduced charge on-site parking at the property for about $15 a day and no breakfasts are included ($13 in the hotel restaurant). A cheaper option is to go the Sherman Oaks Galleria, 5 minutes away on foot, and buy breakfast at Starbucks (better value for a family). The hotel lobby is attractive, modern and welcoming and has 3 free computers for guest use, as well as a printer. There is also a laundry, pool area and gym. I was extremely happy at this property, slept well, and in general liked the neighborhood and its nearby amenities. In addition, the staff were very helpful and professional.

“another good Marriott”

Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley

Dec 2, 2007

This busy urban Marriott feels like a small boutique hotel, with a friendly staff and modern, well-designed interiors. It's right next to the 405 freeway, which is both convenient and noisy. However, the double glazing on the large windows keeps the highway noise down to a minimum.

It's a pleasure to come into such a clean and comfortable room. The pure white cotton bedding that's now standard Marriott issue is great. Marriott made a good move when they went non-smoking chainwide.

The breakfast (not included in the price) was good, and healthy options were there. The parking was a bit steep ($14 per night) but it was secure, and street parking seemed impossible.

“Great hotel! 100% Satisfied!”

Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley

Nov 1, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

The quality of this hotel is excellent. I was traveling with my mother, sister and grandmother on a family vacation to Los Angeles. The hotel and rooms are very clean and nicely decorated, it has a contemporary decor (not old fashioned). The room was very spacious. The bathroom was a comfortable size and very clean. The water pressure in the shower was great too.

The location is great, 5 miles from the Getty Museum, 14 miles from the airport, 9 miles from Hollywood.... just minutes away from all the attractions. The surrounding area is nice with plenty of restaurants and shops near by. It is next to a freeway but you do not hear passing cars from the room, outside noise is not a problem. The main attractions (Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Airport, Studios, Getty Museum, etc) are only a short drive away. When the traffic is good it only takes about 10-15 minutes to get to most of these places. Traffic can sometimes be pretty bad, so when heading to the airport especially I suggest you leave an hour earlier than planned since that particular freeway can be becked up.

Computers in the lobby for free internet and printer use for all guests.

The cafe offers great food with lots of options. Full breakfast menus as well as cold and hot buffets available (cold $11, hot $14).

Parking is approx. $15 a day, it was the best deal I was able to find when comparing parking at other hotels (most parking prices were over $20 a day).

We felt very secure in the hotel as well, guests needed to use their room key to use the elevator to access the rooms. The staff was very helpful too.

I would recommend this hotel to everyone I know. I was 100% satisfied and would stay here again!!

“Comfortable”

Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley

4 of 5 stars
Helsinki, Finland
Oct 10, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

For a franchise hotel, the Courtyard Marriots manage to feel comfortable and personal.

The staff at the Sherman Oaks Marriot were very friendly. Especially the waiters during breakfast were lovely and gave one a great start to the day. The breakfast buffet was great for about 13$ you get a lot of variety and can make your own waffles!

The lobby is spacious and has a great feel to it. The bar is right next to the entrance it's the usual hotel bar, not much else to say about it.

The room I was in, was a regular two bed room and it was very spacious. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big enough. The toiletries were fine. There was no safe in the room, which was a bit odd and also no minibar, though there was a fridge.

The room felt comfortable and I had to work a lot during my stay and the work desk is allright, though the work chair stays rather low, which was a bit annoying. Still, I could definitely spend a longer time in the room if need be, it's comfortable enough.

The gym is small, but well equipped and there was plenty of water and towels available. The pool area was surprisingly nice and it's very spacious.

The hotel's in a great area to discover LA. Right next to the hotel there's the Sherman Oaks Galleria, which has a Cheesecake Factory restaurant, a Starbucks and lots of other restaurants. There's also an IHOP down the block. The nice thing is that there's even shops in the blocks surrounding the hotel, so it's actually worth walking around the area.

Overall, a great, comfortable hotel with great staff.
