The Bistro at Courtyard in Seattle

Great atmosphere, but that is all that it has going for it. We stayed in the connected hotel for 4 nights at the end of June of 2021. The host sat us, took our drink order, then ignored us. People who came in after us received their drinks within minutes of them sitting down. The waitress who was working completely ignored us. After about 20 minutes, we got up and left. This is by far the worst we have ever been treated in a Marriott property. I have filed a complaint with corporate.

This is based completely on their burger (which was ordered to go). Checked in at around 8:30pm and was starving!  The location of the hotel is close to 3rd Avenue where we were told to avoid SPECIFICALLY after 11pm as it can get quite sketch.... soooo dine in it was! I ordered the Bistro Burger ($14 as of 6/2021 If I recall). This burger was AWESOME as other reviews have mentioned.  The burger patty was cooked well and the cheese was perfectly melted.  Fries were also great!  For the price I could not complain and would 100% or...

What really stood out for us, during the few days we stayed at the Courtyard and eaten breakfast at The Bistro was the overall attitude, demeanor and hospitality of the (I guess that is his position) the restaurant manager, Chris Newell. Chris, despite the fact that he had to wear multiple hats (taking and processing the orders, retrieving the food from the kitchen, cleaning up tables etc) maintained a positive, welcoming attitude and always willing to come back and check to see how things are with your food, if you need anything else, providing good tips for the city sights etc. I could tell that with the hotel barely functioning, I assume most employees not knowing what tomorrow will bring, the stress level must be high. None of the reception staff and Chris showed any signs of it.  We got engaged in a few conversations about the state of business, life in general and I just declare here, publicly, that people (don't want to use the word "employees") like Chris are rare, a true asset to any company, more so to a place that is in the hospit...
