Courtyard by Marriott Stamford Downtown

About The Hotel

This 4.2-rated (343 reviews) Marriott Courtyard sits on Summer Street in downtown Stamford, offering consistent room comfort and a strong 4.7 location score among Stamford’s best for walkability. The property features valet parking, an indoor pool, and fitness center, with conference space suitable for events and extended stays. Recent guests praise the centrally located position steps from Bedford Street’s restaurant row and Mill River Park. Rooms are spacious and well-maintained, though decor reads as slightly dated. The in-house Starbucks has limited offerings compared to a full coffee bar.

What Guests Are Saying

“My wife and I have stayed at Stamford’s Marriott Courtyard several times over the past decade and have found it comfortable, quiet and very centrally located. Today, unfortunately, I had to cancel our reservation there for the upcoming weekend due to the approach of a large winter storm that would make travel from our home in Virginia treacherous. I am writing this review to commend the fine work of the lady at the hotel’s front desk who answered my cancellation call earlier today. She answered after 3 rings; did not put me on hold or send me to another line; and handled the cancellation pleasantly, in less than 3 minutes. One of my most positive telephone experiences with a hotel anywhere, ever! Unfortunately, I did not ask the lady’s name — she spoke excellent English with what is perhaps an Eastern European accent. She is a credit to the hotel and deserves commendation. Today’s brief conversation is yet another reason my wife and I look forward to our next opportunity to stay at Courtyard by Marriott in Downtown Stamford!” — spqr1903, 5 stars

“This hotel was perfect in terms of location as it is right on a hot spot in Stamford. Many restaurants right outside the entrance. The location is clean and the staff is very friendly, I mostly interacted with the front desk and they were all very friendly and attentive. The room I was in was clean and spacious, it was clean every night I came back to my room. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the Stamford area.” — RatedRSuperstar, 4 stars

“Great location. Very nice hotel. Very clean. The desk people always greeted us when we came into the hotel. The valet service was very efficient. FYI-it’s a hotel Starbucks so limited offerings. Loved that we could walk everywhere. Only negative was how expensive it was but worth it to be close to everything. Glad we choose it.” — katyop86, 5 stars
