Introduction
Located about 50 minutes drive away from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel international airport in Ahmedabad, the Courtyard By Marriott Satellite is a modern, luxurious 5-star hotel with excellent, personalised service. Near several major shopping malls and tourist attractions, the Courtyard By Marriott Satellite is well positioned as both a leisure and business hotel. They are also one of the few places in the state of Gujarat, India, which has a licensed liquour store.
Ambience
Ambience at Courtyard By Marriott Satellite is clean, brightly lit, modern, and comfortable. The lobby feels spacious because of its open concept and high ceiling, exuding a sense of sophisticated luxury through the sleek white marble and wooden panels. Tasteful artwork, portraying snippets of everyday life, adorn the walls, while a water feature serves as the base for a flower arrangement, which changes daily. At each level, a shoe polishing machine is available for use. Wifi throughout the hotel is fast and stable, though this comes at a price.
Room
Rooms at Courtyard By Marriott Satellite are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The warm wood and white tones of the room are relaxing, and the cable television has a wide variety of movie channels. The bathroom is spacious, with a standing shower that has both shower and rainfall options. Staff keep the room well stocked with amenities, and the lighting, phone lines, and wifi in the room work great. However, my in-room clock constantly displays the wrong time, and the multi-plug power sockets can be a little loose.
Food
Food at Courtyard By Marriott Satellite is mostly provided by the MoMo Cafe. The chefs produce excellent, tasty Indian and Gujarati cuisine, these dishes are consistently well-executed and delicious. The Western options are alright, passable enough, though limited in variety. However, I love that chefs are able to take special, off-beat requests, and execute special dishes not in the menu. Very pleased with the creativity and skill in making these special requests. I also like that staff are enthusiastic in showcasing their cuisine, and will readily soffer recommendations. They also regularly check for feedback throughout your meal, and will offer additional suggestions. Memorable.
Service
Service at Courtyard By Marriott Satellite is excellent, top-notch. Among the best I've ever experienced in any hotel. Staff are warm, friendly, efficient. Walk by them in the halls, and they'll greet you. Linger, and they'll ask if they can do anything to assist, or check for feedback on your experience. They acceded to several special requests I've had, and performed them efficiently. They remember you, and make efforts to personalise the experience. Feels totally comforable, well taken care of, and pampered even. Absolutely love the service here, completely memorable.
Facilities & Activities
The facilities and activities at Courtyard By Marriott Satellite are decent enough. The gymnasium is well equipped with a variety of workout machines, and spacious enough for several people. The swimming pool is a decent size, with a small whirlpool, and offers a good view of the city. Birds are kept away from the pool by a mesh netting, which stretches all the way from the roof to the pool. Conference rooms are large and well-equipped, though they lack small size meeting rooms, unless you include the business centre. Also, I notice there isn't much entertainment options for children. Overall, I loved the experience at Courtyard By Marriott Satellite, and would return again.
