Courtyard by Marriott Xi'an North

Over many years, I stayed mostly at Residence Inn, Fairfield Inn, Renaissance hotel, Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton and at quite a few Courtyard by Marriott in various states in US and in several other countries outside of US. This is by far the best Courtyard experience I had. The staffs are polite and attentive. The hotels and rooms are well maintained and very clean. The lounge was comfortable and the food was tasty.

DISCLAIMER: THE GOOGLE MAPS LOCATION IS NOT ACCURATE. This isn't the fault of the hotel per se, although they could have claimed the property and fixed the address. Google maps shows its within the Xi'an city walls buts it's about 20 minutes taxi ride to the center of town (the bell tower). I attached a picture of where it actually is. On the plus side, it's closer to the airport. Honestly, you don't absolutely need to stay within the city walls. It is easy to walk to the subway station (shitushuguan stop) from the hotel at around 18 minutes and it's directly down the street so you don't need to make any turns. It's a good, clean hotel for the price. The executive lounge has limited happy hour food in comparison to Shanghai. The room is what you expect out of a courtyard in China. It would normally be a $150 room in the states but its much cheaper here.

Major Error: The Google map locator is about 7kms away from the actual location of the hotel (see attached screenshot). It was a significant issue when we reached Xian at midnight. The Marriott should address this issue ASAP, although the given address on the map is right. Hotel: The hotel is great, and appears to be a new property with all the facilities. Definitely a worth while place to stay. I would have given 5 stars for it, but due to Google map error, I have downgraded. I would be happy to upgrade it, if it is corrected and further inconvenience to other guests are corrected.
