My wife and I recently returned to Tyler to celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary. We were fortunate enough to spend two nights in the beautiful, new Courtyard Marriott Hotel. We did have a little trouble getting in at first. My parents are part owners of a Courtyard Marriott and so they get a special discount which they are able to pass on to family and friends. Well, the hotel was having a bit of a hard time verifying all of our info so we had to call and have a new fax sent to them etc. Anyway, that was the only difficulty we had during our stay. The rest was great.

The whole hotel is really nicely decorated. Their is a small restaurant and coffee bar in the lobby of the hotel. They have a pool, hot tub, and exercise room. The TV lover in your family will adore this place. They have a big, plasma screen TV next to all the elevators so you don’t have to miss a minute of TV.
We did have one problem with the TV in our room. It wouldn’t turn on. At first I thought that the batteries in the remote control were dead. But I called the front desk and learned the true cause of the problem. Apparently people like to swivel the TV and this loosens the power cord in the back. I finally found the one she was talking about and we were in business.

My wife and I thought our room was really beautiful and classy. We had a king-size bed and nice little fold out couch. The wardrobe, desk etc. are stained a nice dark red like cherry wood. The paintings, bedding etc. were all really tasteful.
The room also has a mini-fridge in it if you need to keep some food cold like we did.

We had a lot of fun one afternoon swimming with our three boys in the pool. It’s a pretty small pool but it was great for them because they are still learning to swim and there weren’t any really deep parts. Also, we were the only people in the pool, so we had the run of the place. Another thing I really like about the pool room is that there is a bathroom with a shower right in it. That means you don’t have to pee in the pool. It also means that you can change your clothes before and after and take a shower there if you want.

The Courtyard Marriott is conveniently located across from a big movie theater and nearby several great restaurants such as Bernard’s and Fish City Grill.
If you have the money to spend, or if you can get a good discount like us, I think the Courtyard Marriott is one of the nicest places to stay in Tyler. I would definitely like to stay there again on our next visit to Tyler.
