COURTYARD WATERLOO ST. JACOBS

When we decided to stay overnight in St. Jacobs, we were surprised by the number of hotels near the farmer’s market. We evaluated several options based on their ratings and prices for the day of our stay. The Courtyard Marriott was one of the final three hotels on our list. Having stayed in various hotels within this chain before, we had always been satisfied, so we decided to book a room there for the night. We were not disappointed. The staff at the hotel were fantastic—friendly and eager to assist with even the smallest requests, such as providing a bandage for a guest in need. While it would have been nice to check in early, we understood that the previous night had been completely sold out, and rooms were still being vacated when we arrived. Instead of the usual “no,” the staff explained the situation politely. The room itself was clean and spacious, and the lobby was inviting, offering a relaxing space to sit while we waited for our room. We appreciated that there was a dining option available, and we decided to go there in the evening for a nightcap. The server was exceptional, providing detailed explanations of the whiskeys that were available. Although the Courtyard Marriott is not the least expensive hotel in the area, we believe it offers great value. If we return to St. Jacobs, we would definitely choose to stay there again.

My husband and I traveled to Ontario the first part of February and stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Waterloo St. James. So glad we stayed here. Our room was clean and had everything we needed from a coffee/tea machine to a shower with great water pressure. I have to say that EVERYONE that works here is so nice and accommodating. I’d like to especially thank Steve Millington, Dhanuph, Carter, Aryn, and Depesh. We like to stay at hotels that have a bar/restaurant on site, and this one did not disappoint. Great food and drinks. The front desk staff were also amazing. We will definitely be back.

We recently stayed at the Courtyard Marriott near the St. Jacobs Market. It was very convenient since it was pretty much right across the road. The staff are all very welcoming and the people manning the Bistro in the morning were a delight. It's very rare these days that you see staff interacting with each other and customers in such a happy manner. It was nice to see. Our room was on the 3rd floor. It was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay, The fridge, microwave and coffeemaker were in good condition. The shower was a good size, nice and clean, with good toiletry products. The room was very quiet as well although we were close to the elevators. The Stockyards Brewery is also just across the street for lunches or dinners as well as a Jack's Restaurant so that's convenient. It's best to check on the hours for the St. Jacob's Market if you're planning to visit since a lot of areas close early.
