I've never slept on a park bench before, but I can't imagine it's much harder than the beds at this hotel. As long as you have no intentions of sleeping, this hotel may suit you just fine. read more

Out in Texas for work I decided to stay at the Courtyard for my two weeks. This place is really nice but I was sad they do not serve breakfast or have suites. They do however have a bar in the lobby and it seems to be the only property in Harlingen with a hot tub! The front desk staff were excellent. The room was great, I just wish there were more channels to watch. They are right next to the local cinema and 2 minutes from a grocery store. Lots of other stores and restaurants within only a several minute drive. read more

Do NOT STAY at this hotel! The hotel is dirty and they have done nothing to improve. If you do stay make sure you look underneath your sheets. I've attached pictures from my friends room in the last few months as well. Don't stay here. read more

The remodeled hotel is the first I have seen with this unique design. Entering the lobby area the first thing I noticed is everything was designed to be in one large open area. The lobby contains a business center for internet access. To the right is a check in kiosk to print boarding passes. In front of the business center is a book shelf including local interest books, magazines, and news papers. I even was able to find a book that I began reading and later purchased. The GoBoard is an interactive touch screen TV with information on local events and weather. It was fun navigating around on this large touch screen TV. The bistro food is good and is a great spot if you don't feel like venturing out in the hot south Texas sun. Most restaurants are a short walk but there are no sidewalks. Luckily the van driver was nice and drove us to lunch. The bar is open nightly with unique media pods next to the windows where you can sit and watch TV. The rooms are very clean and have recently been updated with a large desk and plasma TV. Beds are very comfortable. I had a room with a balcony overlooking the pool in the courtyard. The pool was clean and with a hot tub attached. This is a good hotel if you are visiting for business or visiting South Padre Island and don't want to pay higher prices on the island. The hotel next to a movie theater and walking distance to a variety of restaurants. The staff are very helpful and the rooms comfortable. read more

Courtyard by Marriott Harlingen - Hotels Near Me - Harlingen, Texas

Room main event Modern. Too modern not practical. Couch semi circular very uncomfortable to watch TV. TV not centered to watch from bed. Great for single wanting to splurge on self for breakfast. Not for families. Was NOT informed of NO continental breakfast. Bistro very costly if with a family. For the cost of room could have had a kitchenette or continental bkfst. Beautiful, polite, easy registration, very modern. Convenient to HWy, theatre, Mall, restaurants, gas, and everything you needs. Hallways are a maze getting to lobby. read more

It's a nice, simple hotel- it's a "standard, blueprint, new, rural location" blueprint for new Marriotts. It feels brand new- or maybe no more than 2 years old. Like others, I stay here because my company puts me here, and I don't mind a bit. There's a huge movie theater across the street. Beware that the closest (walking distance) Mexican restaurants just aren't very good. I mean it. Try getting the hotel van to take you to one where Yelpers give it 4 stars. Overall, yeah, I like it. read more

Firstly, I stay at a lot of hotels. Hundreds... for $129 a night this courtyard is very overpriced. The rooms are in need of an update.. floors were dirty. fridge leaked water all over the carpet. There is one "chef" catering to all of the guest. Good luck ordering breakfast or coffee. Just ridiculous. For over $130 a night this courtyard is not recommended. read more

Let's start off by saying that the problem isn't with the hotel staff. Almost all of the staff who I interacted with are top-notch. The first problem comes with the check in process, particularly if you are a government employee and using a state of Texas tax exempt form. The hotel does not honor the form nor the exemption. Next, the room itself is not worthy of the Courtyard standard. This has got to be the most rundown Courtyard that I have ever stayed in. The rooms are pretty shabby, there are markings all over the walls, the carpet smells and has stains all over it, and the air conditioner doesn't seem to work and maintain a consistent temperature. After I checked out, I again reminded them of the tax exempt status, they said they will figure it out and send me a new receipt within a few days. It has now been many days and I am still fighting the fight. Their hotel manager even went so far as to say that they straight up won't honor the form. I now have this as a helpdesk ticket with Marriott corporate and hopefully it will be resolved soon. This is a state law and regulation, so I am not quite sure why they will not comply. I will definitely be staying somewhere else on my next trip to Harlingen. It is sad because I have spent almost 2 weeks in their hotel this year already. I guess they have enough business that they don't need repeat customers. read more

Starbucks coffee at the bar in the lobby. Good breakfasts - croissant with cheese excellent. So was scone. Smoothie was delish. And liked the low cal egg white sandwich too. All extra, breakfast not included. But reasonably priced, for a hotel. Same approx price as walking to the Starbucks two blocks away. Did not like the three local men hanging out in the lobby at night, chatting up the check-in clerk. She should tell her boyfriends that she is at work and that they need to go home. Bottles of beer are sold in the lobby. $7 for a Shiner. But they'll pop the cap for you and let you take it "to go" to your room. Cheaper to walk to HEB a block away and buy a six pack. Cinemark 17 across the parking lot. Took in two movies this weekend. Can walk to Applebees (surprisingly good) and Chilis. In the morning, the lobby had too many tv screens on (from last night's football watching?) with lots of "noise" with football and news and other channels. But I sat out by the pool with my am coffee and they were playing lovely big band music on the speaker. I enjoyed the stray black cat who tried to drink my coffee and walked on my kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeyboard. Shoo cat! Very pleasant until 20-something man came out with his beer and got in the hot tub (at 9 am). Maybe he just got off the night shift? Who am I to judge beer for breakfast? Hey! If you've read this far, give me a nod for "funny" will ya? read more

I noticed some negative reviews on this Courtyard that didn't jive with my experience. I spent the weekend Aug 2012 and found the facilities to be exceptionally clean and stylish. I don't know when they last remodeled but it looks like new everywhere. There is a large movie theater and H-E-B grocery store nearby. Not a tourist or walking location but right off Hwy 83. Internet fast enough to stream Netflix at any time of the day. Microwave in the room along with fridge. Van available if you need a ride to go eat. read more

Pros & cons of the Marriott Courtyard... Pros...Clean, fresh rooms and a very affable, service-minded staff made for a very pleasant stay. As an FYI the relatively small pool offers two electric lift chairs for those needing assistance. Cons....a little heavy handed with the Carpet Fresh (which always makes me suspicious), and there's one poor gal working the overwhelmingly busy "made to order" breakfast bar----so grabbing a coffee is a challenge. Note breakfast is not included in your room rate. Definitely would stay here again. read more

Only stayed the night here for a few hours. Rooms are beautiful, new, clean and large. The hotel is very clean in general and a has a Starbucks in the lobby. Would have been 5 stars BUT they didn't have any doubles beds left even though I had a block of 7, reserved directly through the hotel. Sharing a King bed with my 290 pound son wasn't my idea of fun. Also, the lobby smelled like a toilet that had been broken for days. Very sickening. But the night auditor that was working was quick to help any way he could for us. Nice guy. read more

I like this hotel. The check in process is easy when you use the app. They front desk ppl are really nice and respectful. Rooms clean. Lobby is well organized and decor is good. Parking is good. Elevator is a little hot. Not been in pool but it looked well maintained. The cost is in line with most Marriotts. Location is right next door to movie theater which is pretty cool. I've been at this location around 6 times now. I prefer this spot over most hotels in the city. Wish they had free breakfast. read more

Possibly the hardest mattress I've ever experienced. Woke up feeling like I had slept on a slab. That said, staff is friendly, hotel is clean and modern. Location isn't bad as there is a movie theater in front and a grocery store behind the hotel. Several chain restaurants and fast food establishments within walking distance. Great hotel as long as you don't want to sleep. read more

Terrible customer service. I stayed here while traveling for business. My company's contract with the hotel requires that we have access to a fitness center. Due to my work hours I needed to access the fitness center in the morning prior to 6 a.m. the hotel staff told me this was impossible because of the noise associated with the fitness center. They were unable to accommodate me. I travel a lot for work and this is the first time a hotel has not allowed me access to their fitness center outside of normal operating hours. The clerks and manager were very rude and said I could go to planet fitness and pay for a day pass, that they would not cover. Additionally there's no free breakfast, but they acted as if the complimentary coffee made up for that. The rooms do not get cold and smell bad. read more

Clean and updated Marriott. Friendly staff. Reason I'd not give it 4 or 5 stars is due to heavy road noise outside as well as loud guests. Hard to sleep when you are constantly hearing doors slam and cars outside. read more

It's cute. Considering there is NOTHING to do in this town, I guess this is the best offering within proximity to the airport. The bar closes by 1030p. There is no food available if you arrive late. There is a small snack closet adjacent to the check in counter where you can purchase Bud Light, White Zinfandel and cookies...explains alot about TX. The rooms are cute. The beds are OK. The bedding needs to be upgraded. I don't like hospital sheets. Ever. The pool is OK. I did not have a microwave, even though I thought I read that I would have one, but that was also in the same paraphernalia that stated the bar/ restaurant would be open until 130a. Obviously, incorrect. It's OK. If you have to be in Harlingen, I mean, why not? The internet is free. read more

I called down about 5 times & told them this TV doesn't work. They couldn't fix it nor did any one switch my room after they said they would. Besides that the room is nice & the hotel is walking distant from a lot of food places & the movie theater read more

We have stayed in many hotels across the country and this level 2 Marriott hotel was very clean and neat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The mattresses are new and the rooms are quiet. I also appreciated the uptown feel of the place. In the lobby/cafe the booths have individual tvs... Great because we didn't have to miss any of the World Cup. read more

The staff here really caters to your needs and always helpful at anytime to make sure you are comfortable with your room.

They were so accommodating to our family of 6. The cafe was perfect for dinner & breakfast. The staff is very friendly.

Great hotel overall and definitely worth the price. This hotel has some great rates available online too. Staff was very courteous and attentive and would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to the area. Fast, easy check in with mobile checkin. There are really not many nice hotels in Harlingen to pick from, but this Courtyard by Marriott is the right choice. Nice, clean, newly renovated rooms & lobby and a friendly staff make this a great stay for one night or several nights. read more

Pros: 1. Electrical outlets - In the arms of the dining room couches and the bar with the fake grass centerpiece. 2. Any other possible "pros" are pretty much cancelled out by the cons. Cons: 1. Elevators - Truly hidden. Coming in tired from a long drive I wasn't expecting (nor was I impressed with) the long walk down a winding hallway to the point that you have begun thinking that in your tiredness you must've somehow missed huge metal doors along with what surely would've been a very visible sign indicating the elevator location. 2. TV - Only extreme basic channels on TV and local channels (except for Fox News) had "no signal" so, unless you want to watch Seinfeld, Storage Wars or innumerable government update channels, don't expect any good tv or movie viewing. 3. Internet - Extremely basic as well. Free included "surf the net" and "check email". For anything greater than that (streaming a movie you should've been able to watch on their tv) you had to pay $5/night. 4. Breakfast - Nothing complimentary about it! You have to order from their "bistro" which, by the way, in all the literature in the room advertises as closing at 10:00 a.m. but which, in reality shuts down at 9:30 a.m. and doesn't reopen until 5:00 p.m. Of course, "there is food available in their 'market'" (boxed microwave meals, cup-o-soup, chips, teeny ice creams, beer and soda). 5. Hotel front desk staff is evidently unaware that the Starbucks coffee is supposed to be available all day (as per the sign on the door leading outside to the pool) since I was very smilingly informed that the whole "bistro" shuts down at 9:30, including the Starbucks coffee service - - OH.... and ALL they serve is the Starbucks coffee and a few of their bottled beverages, but no Starbucks meals or pastry items. 6. For a "boutique" hotel I expected (in reality, better everything) cleaner tables. The bar where you can plug in your devices had coffee rings and jelly-smeared edges...yucky sticky, and the coffee table by the couches was covered in crumbs. One of the dining tables was never cleared OR cleaned from the last breakfast diner. (I sat in this dining area for about 4 hours waiting for my husband who was taking a safety course in one of the meeting rooms. The girl buzzed around doing all kinds of things but never checked any of these dirty surfaces.) AND FINALLY 7. Price - $120 for one night might be the new "standard median" price for as basic a room and services as we received at this hotel, but I've been in $60-75/night hotels that were cleaner and provided way more amenities....specifically WAY better cable access and internet that was actually free! as well as self-service coffee/tea options. read more

When checking in, they could not find my reservation because it was under a different name.(?) I asked beforehand that the floors be swept and mopped, the linen freshly washed, and the restrooms sanitized. They never got the message - waste of time. When we got to room 116, I observed a piece of toilet paper on the rr floor; next to it, I noted several hairs and filth and dirt that had not been swept or mopped or even wiped in some time. The carpet was peppered with all manner of stains. Dont even look at the floorboards located throughout the room. Ghastly! Then the AC would not cool to our expectations. So out we packed again and went to room 117. The first thing I noticed was the smell of the rr sink. It smelled like sewage was backing up every time we turned the water on. So we plugged the drain everytime we used the water in the sink. You get the picture. We will never stay at the Courtyard Harlingen in the future. read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are clean, the Bistro is quick and easy. If I come back, I'd stay here again.

Update: I have since downgraded this hotel to a one star after getting in contact with customer service after my stay. I reached out on 12/6/15 and heard back right away telling me, "I ask that you allow us three to five business days to resolve this issue." I followed up on 12/17/15 after not having heard back from anyone. As of 12/25/15, I have not heard anything further. I'm really disappointed as Marriott hotels are my go to for business travel. read more

I liked this place. Very big with a small pool and nice looking courtyard. Great location. Walked across street to see movie;)

Spent 2 nights at The Courtyard by Marriott in July, and enjoyed both of them. The view of the lake is more than you would expect and everyone at the hotel goes out of their way to make you feel both welcome and at ease. While everything about the hotel speaks of luxury from a different time, the general feeling is one that is warmly enveloping and not stuffy. read more
