Marriot Courtyard is a newish hotel and located in a quiet part of Mississauga. All aspects of the hotel were excellent. You will need a car though as it is off the beaten track. Toronto 30 mins, Niagara 1 hour. Very clean and the staff are excellent. Complimentary breakfast available at weekends, very good it is too. Also PC available in the lobby for those without their laptops. Would return in a heartbeat.

We just got back from an excellent weekend trip to Toronto. We stayed at the Courtyard Toronto Airport for two nights (March 31st-April 2nd, 2007).

---Overview of Trip----
Making the Reservation: Since this was a last minute trip, we decided not to book a hotel room until after we arrived at the Toronto airport. We contacted the hotel at about 6pm local time, and got an excellent rate of $99 CAD/night.

Arrival at the Hotel/Check-in: The Courtyard has a very nice airport shuttle that runs from the Toronto Airport to the hotel about every 15 minutes. Check-in was extremely easy, and within five minutes of arriving, we were already going up to our room on the 7th floor.

The Room: We had a non-smoking, double bed room. The room was extremely clean and tidy--perhaps one of the cleanest rooms I've ever stayed in! The room itself was "typically Courtyard." The TV had around twenty channels, about half of which were exclusively Canadian.

The Beds: The beds were perhaps the worst part of the room. I couldn't sleep the first night because of how "springy" the bed was; in other words, you can feel each and every spring. Most of my family, too, complained of how uncomfortable the beds were. However, we fell alseep rather quickly on the second night, perhaps because we were all exhausted after a day of walking around Toronto, and perhaps because we had adjusted to the beds.

The Location: The hotel is located right next to the airport. From our room, you could watch airplanes as they took off and landed, which was really enjoyable. However, you can also hear each plane as it lands and takes off, and this goes on from 6am to around 11pm, which certainly can be a problem if you are a light sleeper. To get to downtown Toronto, it will take you about an hour using public transportation. First, you must take the airport shuttle back to the airport (~20 minutes). Then, you must get on a bus, the Airport Rocket, that will take you to Kipling Station (~15 minutes). Then, at Kipling, you must take the "green" subway line east to the St. George Stop (~30 minutes). Then, you must take the "yellow" subway line south to Union Station (~20 minutes). Although taking the subway is extremely cheap (it's $8 or so for a family all-day pass), it may just be easier to spend the $60 on a cab.

Restaurants: The hotel has its own restaurant that serves breakfast only. The buffet was very good, and costs around $15 per person. You can also walk over to the Airport Marriott, located within viewing distance of the Courtyard, and eat at its restaurants for lunch and dinner. I would not reccomend exploring other dining options in the area surrounding the Courtyard, as they seemed pretty sleazy.

Overall impression: The hotel was extremely decent for our short weekend trip. The hotel itself is great, but next time, I would probably choose a hotel that is closer to the downtown area.

The Marriott Courtyard Airport is perfect for a weekend getaway. The rate, 99 CAD, can not be beat. The hotel is located roughly five minutes from Toronto Pearson Airport and the hotel has an airport shuttle service which stops at the Marriott Airport and the Courtyard Marriott. The airport shuttle is clean and runs every fifteen minutes.

Hotel Check-in was very quick and easy. The staff at the front desk is very courteous and knowledgeable about the Toronto area.

In the lobby of the hotel, there is a restaurant that only serves breakfast and a bar. The breakfast buffet at the restaurant was really great; there were eggs, bacon, make your own waffles, fresh fruit, sausage, eggs, cereal, muffins, and an omlet chef. For $14 CAD a person, this wasn't a bad deal.

I received a room facing the airport. I really enjoyed this because I could take the chair next to the bed and place it near the window and relax and watch the planes soar by. From around 10am to 10-11ish pm, you can hear the planes pass over the hotel. However, if you turn on the air conditioning, you won't even notice the noise.

Perhaps the worst part of this hotel was the comfort of the bed. I found the bed to be stiff. Although I was so tired I fell asleep quickly, this could be a problem for other guests. But once again, for 99CAD, I was not complaining.

Using public transportation, it will take about an hour to get to Union Station, which is where the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre, and Hockey Hall of Fame is. The cost to go downtown using public transportation is about 2.75 CAD a person. Public transportation is probably the best way to get to downtown Toronto because a taxi will run you about 45 CAD.

The area surrounding the hotel is very safe. However, if you venture too far from the hotel, it gets a little sketchy. For dinner, there are three restaurants within walking distance of the hotel: Arizona Bar and Grill, Mr. Greek, and the full-service Marriott Airport which has three restaurants. Airzona Bar and Grill is NOT the place to go with children. However, the food at Arizona Bar and Grill was really great. I did not try Mr. Greek.

Overall, I was very pleased with the Courtyard Marriott and would stay here again.

We just returned from a weekend stay at the Courtyard, I am impressed!
I had looked at other hotels in the Toronto area, read the reviews and chose this hotel because of what others had written on TripAdvisor. The room requested was a smoking room, most hotels the smoking rooms have the “odor” this did not, the housekeeping staff was excellent, the room was cleaned completely and very well. I requested an extra coffee pack and received 3, very nice touch. The front desk staff was exceptional as well, friendly and courteous. Mr.Greek's restaurant is just wonderful as well, something you have got to try! If ever in Canada again we will stay there!
