Courtyard By Marriott Coral Gables

Lovely location, rooms are really good, enjoyed the limited food that was offered and totally enjoyed a prosecco in the evening. It is also an easy walk to restaurants.

We had a lovely short stay at the Courtyard Coral Gables. We booked last minute. Check in was smooth and quick. The lobby had a nice fresh smell. Our room was clean spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was on the small side but clean and functional. We had breakfast the next morning at the in-house Starbucks/Bistro. It was a typical menu but the food (avocado toast) was very good. Very fresh. I was between two minds about staying at this property because of the many negative reviews on this site but I am glad I didn’t let the negativity sway me. We had a good experience and I would recommend it. I would certainly return.

We arrived for our confirmed reservation and were told that our room had been given away. The manager said my friend's card had been declined but she could not tell us which card and said it was company policy to charge a reservation the morning of and if card declined to cancel reservation and give the room away with NO call, text or email notification. We were told we had to vacate by 11:00 p.m. at 9:14 we still had found no where to go. Suddenly 4 Police Officers with 4 squad cars and lights flashing arrive to arrest us. We all were wrote up for trespassing and would be arrested if we didn't leave immediately. The Police were nice and did not make us wait in the 37 degree cold outside. They escorted out when our Uber arrived 2 minutes later. We spent a terrible night in the Miami airport. What a start to our Celebrity Beyond Cruise.
