Escape to Luxury: Courtyard Morgantown Granville's Amazing Amenities!
Escape to Luxury: Courtyard Morgantown Granville - Yeah, It's Pretty Awesome (Sometimes)
Okay, so I just got back from a stay at the Courtyard Morgantown Granville, and honestly, the brochure promised the moon. Did it deliver? Well, let's just say it’s more of a… really nice launchpad. Buckle up, because this review is gonna be a rollercoaster. I'm gonna be completely honest, even when it's not flattering – because, let's face it, who really trusts those glowing, corporate reviews?
First Impression (and a Slight Panic):
Pulling up, the place looks slick. Modern, clean lines, the whole shebang. Accessibility seemed good, with ramps and elevators everywhere. Which, you know, is crucial. (More on that later, because…well, life happens.) Security seemed tight, too - 24-hour security, CCTV everywhere. Made me feel safe…mostly. I’m always a little paranoid in new places, and this one felt like it was trying to be super-safe.
The Room: My Little Sanctuary (Mostly Clean, Thank God)
My room? Well, it was… a room. A very clean room, I'll give them that! They go above and beyond with their room sanitization, which, in this day and age, I appreciate. They even have an option to opt-out of room sanitization, like, “Nah, I like my germs!” LOL.
Available in all rooms was a decent suite of amenities:
- Air conditioning: Essential. Especially in the West Virginia heat.
- Alarm clock: Useless, since I was too stressed to sleep and was up before the alarm even thought about going off.
- Bathrobes: The little touches that make you feel fancy. (I wore mine all day, every day.)
- Bathrooms: Seriously clean.
- Free Wi-Fi: Worked like a charm, thank goodness.
- Coffee/tea maker: Lifesaver. I need caffeine, people.
- Desk: Useful for pretending to work, which I did.
- Free bottled water: Always appreciated.
- Hair dryer: Essential.
- In-room safe box: I felt like I needed to lock up not just my valuables, but myself from the world.
- Internet access – wireless: Spot-on!
- Ironing facilities: Bless.
- Laptop workspace: Essential.
- Mini bar: I didn’t drink from it, because I just didn't feel like I could trust it.
- Non-smoking: HUGE plus.
- Satellite/cable channels: Okay, enough with the work. I don't have time for TV.
- Shower: Great water pressure.
- Slippers: Again, the little things!
- Smoke detector: Peace of mind.
- Soundproofing: Needed. I did hear some noise, but it wasn't awful.
- Towels: Fluffy, enough said.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Yessss!
A Little Hiccup (or a Lot): Dealing With Accessibility
Now, here’s the thing. I needed a little help with some things. Not a lot, but I had requested a room on a lower floor near the elevator. When I arrived, things were… a little off. They were friendly in the front, but the hotel was busy, and it ended up taking a little longer to get everything sorted. In the end, they were super accommodating, but it revealed a minor breakdown in communication. They were working on it, and they were trying, but I wouldn't have minded if that little situation had gone more smoothly.
Food, Glorious (and Sometimes Questionable) Food!
The dining situation was… varied.
- Breakfast was buffet-style (Western breakfast), but the buffet looked a little sad - though, the staff were on top of things with their food safety and sanitation protocols, and there was an Asian breakfast option with some good choices.
- Restaurants & Bars: They've got an on-site restaurant which provided all sorts of Western and international cuisine, including soup, desserts, and salad. The bar was fun too.
- Room Service: Oh, yes, 24 hour room service!
The Relaxing Bits (and Finding My Zen… Maybe)
Okay, here’s where the Courtyard Morgantown really shines: the ways to relax!
- The Pool: The swimming pool was gorgeous. An outdoor swimming pool with a view? Sold.
- The Spa/Gym: They had a gym/fitness center, which I utilized to work off some of my stress. The spa had a massage service, too. Tempting, very tempting.
The Downside (Because Nothing’s Perfect)
- Breakfast in the Room: This was a nice option, but the execution was a bit clunky. The food took a while to arrive, and it wasn't quite as fresh as it could’ve been.
- The Noise: Though the rooms were soundproof, there was still some noise from the outside corridors at certain times of the night - or maybe it was my paranoia, again!
The Verdict: Worth the Stay?
Overall? Absolutely. The Courtyard Morgantown Granville is a solid choice. The amenities are fantastic – particularly the pool and the access! The staff is well-trained and incredibly helpful. The location is great, and the rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable.
Is it perfect? Nah. But the minor hiccups were outweighed by the positives. I'd go back in a heartbeat – and next time, I plan to spend a lot more time at that pool!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because planning a trip to the Courtyard by Marriott Morgantown Granville is already giving me flashbacks to my teenage years trying to cram in everything on a grocery list at the last minute. This isn't going to be a pristine, Pinterest-perfect itinerary. This is real life, baby. This is… gestures wildly …Morgantown. Buckle up!
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Allure of the King Bed
3:00 PM: Okay, so the plan WAS to arrive around 3 PM. Reality? My GPS decided to take me on a scenic tour of rural Pennsylvania. Turns out, "shortcuts" are just elaborate conspiracy theories. (I swear, Google Maps has a vendetta against me). Arrived at the hotel…4:17 PM? Yeah. Not even mad. The lobby is surprisingly…welcoming. A bit generic, but hey, the front desk lady was genuinely nice, not the robotic "have a nice day" type. She even cracked a small smile when I mumbled something about my GPS's apparent love of dirt roads.
4:30 PM: Unpacking. This is where the real fun begins. I'm not a minimalist. I'm more of a "pack everything I might possibly need, even if I probably won't" person. This includes three books, a ridiculous amount of snacks (don't judge), and enough chargers to run a small data center. The room? Clean. Which is all I really ask for at this point. The king bed… oh, the king bed. It's like a fluffy cloud of pure, unadulterated comfort. I swear, it practically beckoned me to dive in. I resisted. (For now.)
5:00 PM: Let's be honest, after the road trip, getting dressed up wasn't an option. Heading to the bar. Maybe.
6:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant, The Bistro. I went for the burger. It was fine. Nothing to write home about, but perfectly edible. I'm not sure why hotel restaurants always play the same background music. It’s like elevator music, but slightly… louder? (Rant completed.)
7:30 PM: Back to the room. Netflix and bed. The siren song of that king bed is too strong.
Day 2: WVU, Hikes, and the Quest for Decent Coffee
8:00 AM: Breakfast. The hotel breakfast buffet is always an experience. Scrambled eggs that seem vaguely…yellow? The coffee, however, was a life-saver. It was a bit burnt, but it got the job done.
9:00 AM: WVU. The plan was to explore the campus, soak in the atmosphere. Reality check: it's Saturday. The campus looked…empty. Kinda sad, actually. I managed to wander around a bit, admiring the architecture.
11:00 AM: Hike! I found a trail. It's called the "West Virginia Botanic Garden at Morgantown." It was actually…amazing. The air smelled of pine needles and damp earth, and the trails weren't too crowded. I'm not exactly Bear Grylls, but I survived.
1:00 PM: Lunch. Found a decent burger restaurant. It's called…Uhh…I forgot. The food? Excellent.
2:30 PM: Nap. The king bed called. I answered.
4:00 PM: The Quest for Decent Coffee, Part 2. The hotel coffee was…well, it wasn’t great. I ventured out to find some better coffee. The search was… intense. I finally stumbled upon High Street. It was a real hubbub of activity. I chose a coffee shop, got a coffee, and it was great.
6:00 PM: Dinner. I really should have looked for something a little more special, but my stomach was rumbling, so I played it safe, with some local pizza.
7:30 PM: "Relaxation" time. I’m pretty sure I just watched the same show twice. The king bed is just too good to move.
Day 3: Departure and the Lingering Questions
- 9:00 AM: The hotel breakfast again. Honestly, I kind of had to force myself to eat.
- 10:00 AM: Pack, repack, and then repack again. I always underestimate how much stuff I actually brought.
- 11:00 AM: Checkout. The front desk person was just as nice on the way out. I actually meant to leave a bigger tip, but I'm pretty sure I was half-asleep.
- 11:30 AM: The End… Sort Of. I think I felt a little bit better staying here.
Final Thoughts:
The Courtyard by Marriott Morgantown Granville. Is it the fanciest hotel? Nope. But the bed was amazing. The staff was genuinely friendly. And the hikes offered a welcome escape. Would I go back? Yeah, probably. Because sometimes, all you need is a comfy bed, a decent cup of coffee, and a chance to just be. And maybe, just maybe, a GPS that knows how to avoid dirt roads.
And that's the end of the story. Now, I need a nap.

Escape to Luxury: Courtyard Morgantown Granville's Amazing Amenities! (Or, My Somewhat Chaotic Take)
Okay, fine, WHAT are these "Amazing Amenities" ACTUALLY? Spill the beans!
The Fitness Center…Be Honest. Did you *actually* use it?
**Side-note on the vending machine misery:** I swear, those things are a tease. Promise you everything you crave and then…nothing. It's like dating, isn't it?
What's the deal with the restaurant/bar? Good food? Strong drinks? Spill!
Okay, let's dive into room specifics! What was the room like? Did it meet your sky-high standards?
Were there *any* downsides? Because surely, nothing is perfect, right?
Final verdict? Would you recommend Escape to Luxury: Courtyard Morgantown Granville?
**One last, slightly manic anecdote:** On my second night, I discovered the hotel had a free shuttle to the local university (WVU, for those keeping track). Thinking this would be the perfect chance to "explore" the nightlife, I hopped on. I’m not sure what I was expecting-- raucous crowds, maybe a few neon signs? Instead, I ended up at a karaoke night at some dive bar, surrounded by college students belting out off-key pop songs. It was… an experience. And, honestly? Pretty dang fun. Maybe that’s the real luxury: the unexpected adventures.
