Arkansas Weather

It is hard to believe that this time last week, Fayetteville was thawing out from a little over a foot of snow. This week we are looking at temps in the 80's!

Warmer weather brings great things... one of which are all the great artists coming to the Arkansas Music Pavilion, which is one of the top 100 amphitheaters in the US.

Courtyard Fayetteville participates in Earth Hour


The Courtyard by Marriott in Fayetteville announced today that they will turn off all non-essential hotel lighting in collaboration with EARTH HOUR and has encouraged their employees to do the same at home.

Earth Hour, which will take place Saturday, March 27 at 8:30pm, is an event in which millions of Americans will urn out their lights for one hour in support of actions on climate change; the Courtyard joins the growing list of supporting businesses that are committing to take a stand by turning the lights out on pollution and creating a cleaner, safer and more secure future.

"As leaders in the hospitality and business community, as well as being a local leader in green business practices, we feel it is our social responsibility to do what we can to reduce our carbon footprint. Earth Hour is a great way to show our community and guests that we are committed to doing our part; we are encouraging all our management companies' hotels and associates to participate as well," said TJ Angeleno, General Manager of the Courtyard by Marriott, Fayetteville and Sustainability Coordinator for Vista Host properties.

Hotel of the Year!

Vince Lombardi once said, “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”

Everyday, the staff at the Courtyard by Marriott in Fayetteville welcomes our guests with genuine kindness and superior hospitality. Throughout 2009, we received countless recognition for exceptional Guest Service and Satisfaction scores with Overall Satisfaction in the top 10% of the Courtyard brand. Humbled by our guest reviews, the staff has been dedicated to raising the bar for service levels. In 2009, we concluded the year by being ranked #3 of 781 Courtyards for Overall Service and Satisfaction.

Last week, our General Manager received a call from Marriott letting him know that the Courtyard by Marriott in Fayetteville had earned the Marriott Courtyard Hotel of the Year as well as the Chairman’s Circle Award for Overall Guest Satisfaction. We are still in shock and will keep our readers updated as events unfold to celebrate our guests and associates! TJ Angeleno, our General Manager, will travel to Washington D.C. in April to accept the awards from Mr. Bill Marriott.

Believe it! The Marriott Courtyard Hotel of the Year is right here in Fayetteville, AR!
