The "courtyard view" just means you have a view of the parking lot. There's a stove and microwave, which I didn't use, and a decently sized mini fridge. Curtains can block out the daylight. *Plenty* of towels. The bed and pillows are adequate. I didn't use the pool, but saw a few people happy to have a late night dip. The lobby is fine to hang out in.

We were right beside the metal staircase which was very loud whenever people used it.
The door did not seal properly and it was generally very noisy.
