Abundant Choices and Amenities

It's not necessary to look outside the park to find quality lodgings ideal for business or recreational travelers. Here's our Hacienda Hotel Directory.

The big news at Hacienda's Courtyard by Marriott is a major renovation that wraps up at the end of this month. Each of the Courtyard's 145 guest rooms and 14 suites is being revamped with new furniture, bedding, carpets, and more. The lobby, lounge, and restaurant areas are also being redone and the 24 Hour Market, which will feature salads, sandwiches, drinks, ice cream, and vending machine items, is being added next to the front desk.

The Courtyard's amenities have been designed to make life as easy as possible for business travelers. Each room has a work desk, two-line speaker phone, complimentary high-speed Internet access, and voice mail. Rooms also feature cable/satellite TV, in-room movies, complimentary in-room coffee, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, and a newspaper delivered to your room Monday through Friday.

Hotel services include two meeting rooms totaling 1,250 square feet, an on-site restaurant, dinner delivery service from local restaurants, a laundry valet, and self-service laundry facilities.

It's not all business, however. There are a number of great features to aid in rest, refreshment, and relaxation, including an outdoor pool, a full spa, an exercise room, and even a whirlpool.

The Courtyard will be holding a special celebration and open house in early August to show off their new facilities. Contact the hotel at the number above for more details.
