I'd call the courtyard by Marriott in Newcastle, DE and elegant disaster.
I like the decor, the general setup, the innovative room arrangement and elegant fixtures, but:
Items were already in poor repair or deteriorating; a toilet paper holder already in its last days; a few marks on the tony wall coverings. A coffee machine that quit after one cup of coffee!
And then there's the food service. There may be some guests who enjoy being part of a captive clientele, with minimum $3 Starbuck's coffee, slow (about 40 minutes), limited food service (out of boiled eggs? Out of orange juice?) and extortionist pricing. I'll take a well-prepared, well-presented, simple continental breakfast any day. Which means I'll stay someplace else.
