Courtyard Cypress Anaheim/Orange County

The Courtyard Cypress Anaheim/Orange County is set among many large corporate offices in the unassuming city of Cypress.

Upon entering the hotel, the front desk is located to the right.  Check-in was friendly and efficient.  My Ritz Carlton Platinum status was recognized.  I was offered 400 bonus points as my amenity, as well as choosing one item from The Market.

Goodie Bag

In addition, I was also presented with a personalized goodie bag that contained Kettle Corn, a granola bar, a Kit Kat and a bottle of water.

Upon entering the room, the bathroom is located to the right.  The bathroom has a spring loaded door that can be somewhat dangerous if not paying attention.

Sink

Sink

There is a single sink with an enormous amount of counter space.

Shower/Tub Combo

Toilet

There is a shower/bath combo with lackluster water pressure.  The faucet also had a pretty steady drip, so hundreds of gallons of water were being wasted daily.  I would think that the housekeeping staff would notice this, and inform the maintenance staff in order to correct this.

Coffee Maker

After exiting the bathroom there is a small area for the coffee maker and mini refrigerator.

Bed

The bed is comfortable, but there is limited walking space on the side of the bed closest to the wall.

Sofa Bed

There is a large sofa bed that takes up a substantial amount of space.

Desk

There is the usual split level desk present in the overwhelming majority of Marriott properties.  Although the desk doubles the size of the desk since you need to pull the lower part of the desk out in order to utilize a computer.  The problem with this is that is separates you from the main part of the desk, and unless you have the wingspan of a condor, it makes the workspace somewhat difficult.

Dresser/TV

The TV is located in such a way that it makes it very difficult to utilize with the remote.  Since the sensor is on the lower left corner, when pivoting the TV towards the bed you can’t change channels without playing a game of Twister.

The staff is friendly and warm, and the hotel is located close to many great restaurants with easy freeway access.

This is a solid choice if in the area.
