Courtyard by Marriott Dothan

Brand new renovation made this the perfect stop. Buy breakfast or use the great little microwave and fridge and make your own.

This hotel misses the mark by a long shot.
Parking: getting into the parking lot is a night mare as you basically have to drive through Taco Bell to get to it.
Check in: staff was rude, inattentive, and flat out unprofessional.
Room: they have recently been remodeled it seems, so the room wasn’t too bad. Seals hanging down in the shower. At least the room cooled off quickly. The room is the only reason this hotel got 2 stars.
Gym: one treadmill was ancient and had broken parts all over it. Second treadmill squeaked like it hadn’t been serviced in a decade. No towels in the gym even though it had a bin for them. No water in tank. And weights were all rusty.
Overall: It is just the little things that aren’t paid attention to that keeps this place from being a great property.

I don’t do many reviews but, this is one of my pet peeves for all hotels. You MUST have Fox News. This hotel has decided not to offer Fox News. I told the desk that I would not be returning. I am in Dothan about every 6 — 8 weeks.

Horrible bed– the pillow was firmer. In room carpet was pitifully stained. Been in other Marriotts and this is hands-​down the worst ever! Small TV and definitely business — unfriendly based in electric outlet availability and positions.
No free breakfast and the Bistro doesn’t open till 0700.
Generally dirty and not kept well.

I was here in support of Fort Rucker (~30min away) for two nights and was very pleased with my stay. The lobby was very clean, and the front desk staff was friendly and attentive. They have a bistro and lounge area for breakfast, dinner and drinks. I had the Healthy Start breakfast (egg white, roasted turkey, spinach and Swiss on an English muffin with a small side of fresh fruit– $ 6), and it was pretty good. Also, they have a small indoor pool and workout room, which was well maintained.
My room was a king size which was comfortable and clean with a sitting area, desk, WiFi (free or $ 6 for premium), microwave and mini fridge. The bathroom was a decent size, and the water pressure/​shower head was ok (kind of average). The best part was the memory foam mattress. It was sooooo nice, and I got a great night’s sleep both nights!
Overall, they definitely uphold the Marriott standards, and I would be happy to stay again the next time I’m at Rucker.

We stopped at the Courtyard Marriott on the way to Panama City. We could see the sign from the highway, but the actual hotel is a little hard to find. It’s located behind the Office Depot.
The lobby is quite a surprise. It’s the most modern and technology-​advanced place in Dothan. The lobby shop has a market, but be warned, it has a limited candy selection.
The staff was pleasant. We arrived close to midnight and they were able to accommodate our need for a roll-​away bed. Giving us our sheets for it in the lobby was a little tacky, but much appreciated.
Our room had two double beds. When we walked in the room felt humid. Everything felt moist. The air conditioning was on but the room felt musty. We had no choice. We had to stay.
The cot was fine. We recommend taking ZzzQuil before using.
Only one member of our group showered and he had very nice things to say about it. The water pressure massaged his back and temperature remained hot throughout. The provided Paul Mitchell shampoo was a pleasant, unexpected surprise.

Overall, the hotel was a nice experience. Definitely book on Priceline. You can save some major cash.

Beautiful hotel! Nice lobby, and they have Starbucks coffee available for purchase.
Gym is kind of small and doesn’t have a lot of fitness equipment.

This place reeks of mold and dirtiness. I have never experienced a Marriott in such a bad off condition and I frequently use others in this hotel line– just never a Courtyard. Tried numerous times to reach the front desk and onsite restaurant with no luck. Needless to say– never again will I stay at a Courtyard.

It’s a Marriott located in a town that most people will never visit.

This past weekend my fiancé and I spent a night at the Courtyard Marriott Dothan. The lobby area was brand new and well furnished actually we were very impressed by how nice the hotel was. The room was very nice, the stand up shower was so amazing, and the king size bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have slept in a while now. Kudos Dothan Marriott!

The night staff gets 5 stars. The am staff gets a goose egg.

Typical Marriott, typical Courtyard. Don’t see anything different from the 100’s of Marriott’s I stay in across the country. Overall a good experience. I am staying here while in Dothan for work this weekend.
It is a little hard to find and is in what the locals call the circle area. It is located behind a couple of fast food restaurants (taco bell, Atlanta bread company) and next to a Fairfield Inn.
Indoor pool and a small workout area. So not much for laying out in the sun. Beach is about an hour away in Panama City FL.

Relatively speaking, this place deserves two stars, but when compared to the rest of the world, they need some help. Pillows are terrible, the bathrooms are lackluster and dark, but the rooms are fairly spacious for what you pay. Every once in a while they’ll have free apples in the front, though most of them are inedible. The breakfast buffet was artery-​cloggin’ awful and cost nearly $ 10 – 12 a head.
