Review of Courtyard by Marriott Frederic...

How does this hotel get good ratings? Parking cost...

How does this hotel get good ratings? Parking costs $12. No complimentary breakfast. My room was small but pricey. No special toiletries. So what!? It's downtown? Big deal! After 5-6pm on a weeknite, it appears to be an abandoned area.

I was going to stay & poke around in the morning, but if you aren't a Southerner, you'll find the civil war stuff self-agrandizing for the losing side, the streets full of soap & olive oil stores, and with a rather dumpy drive into the area, only to find a boggle of one-way streets all seemingly going the wrong way. And as for fine-dining; good luck downtown.

Hotel & old city both a big disappointment. Won't be back. If you need to stay in Fburg, stay outside the old area, eat elsewhere & keep going on your way soon. Very soon.
