- “With a king bed, good-sized couch, and desk, my room at the Courtyard Mexico City Airport was very comfortable.” 8
- “The bathroom held a closet with the safe inside. The safe did not work.” 12

- “The front desk also had the common plexiglass shields. I had a terrible time understanding the lady at the desk.” 8

- “The location of the Courtyard makes it incredibly convenient if you're flying into or out of Terminal 1.” 8

- “The Fairfield Inn hotel has more space in the rooms than the Hilton and is modern, clean and efficient hotel that is just off the property of the Cancun Airport.” 14
- “Ideally located for an overnight stay on arival” 4
- “In points, the rates are around 16,000 points per night, which is reasonable. Depending on your dates, it is worth calculating which option is best for you.” 5
- “I stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, which offers excellent value for money.” 13
- “Rates are higher than at other hotels in town, but being directly at the airport justifies the extra cost.” 3
- “The price is 2512 pesos a night on our sample date (but we have paid much less a night here). This does not include breakfast which is a little steep at 467 pesos per person.” 14
- “The price in points is quite reasonable, ranging from 16,000 to 22,000 points per night.” 6
- “The tacos were decent, but nothing like the ones I'd eaten the previous day. Nor were they as cheap.” 8
- “The value would be excellent as a Category 2 property. At Category 3 prices, I'm not crazy about redeeming my Bonvoy points here.” 8
- “It should be noted that the shuttle to the airport is 400 pesos per person. This is more expensive than a taxi for two to the airport and also raises the price for a couple to about 1917 pesos, which makes it not that attractive when compared to the other hotels.” 14
- “The bed was firm, but comfortable.” 12
- “The check-in process went smoothly. I was given a choice of three gifts because of my Platinum status: Marriott Bonvoy points, free breakfast, or a $10 restaurant credit.” 6
- “The Mex Hoteles is modern with good size rooms that make for a comfortable stay. There is food service here including a rooftop restaurant and pool area. It is centrally located so if you want to order in without having to figure out a new area or even exchange more money, you can do that pretty easily here.” 14
- “The only drawbacks were the unavailable self-service laundry and the food, which was good but could be improved.” 13

- “As for the surroundings, you will find many amenities right next to the hotel such as a pharmacy, a convenience store, an ATM and a few restaurants, which I found were very useful to start my trip.” 5
- “You may have a better chance of getting a suite upgrade at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Cancun Airport, but I'd say the pool area and breakfast buffet at the Courtyard Cancun Airport were very slightly superior.” 6
- “I was glad both in-room coffee and water were provided.” 8
- “And of course, hot sauces. It may not have been the most exquisite breakfast of my life; the juices were very sweet and they only served filter coffee, but it was still very good for a free breakfast and there were plenty of options.” 5
- “Surprisingly, my room's view offered a serene glance at trees, a pleasant departure from the usual parking lot or highway vista of most "convenient" hotels.” 13
