Hotel Guidelines
Participants staying at the Courtyard Marriott receive one free parking space per guest room. Offsite participants or guest rooms that have more than one vehicle must park in public parking spaces. Note that fees apply for the public parking spaces.
The entire hotel, including balconies, is smoke free. Inquire at the front desk for the designated smoking areas. The hotel is not a pet-friendly property.
In addition, the hotel has advised us of the following COVID-19 safety precautions they are taking for all guests:
- As part of the hotel’s commitment to health and safety, each room will be disinfected in preparation for guest arrival and hotel staff will only enter your guest room if requested. Daily housekeeping service is currently suspended; if you need anything during your stay, contact the front desk.
- Masks are to be worn at all times in public areas inside the hotel as mandated by Marriott and the state of North Carolina.
- The fitness center is open to 1 guest or 1 family at a time. Please wipe down all used equipment after each use.
- Pools are open to limited capacities. A maximum occupancy of 40 people at a time is allotted for the outdoor pool. A maximum occupancy of 15 people at a time is allotted for the indoor pool. A sign-up sheet is available for the indoor pool at the front desk.
NCSBA will continue to work with the staff at the Courtyard Marriott to provide as safe an environment as possible while you’re attending the conference. As such, we are reviewing ways to limit opportunities for both staff and attendees to repeatedly touch/share the same objects (i.e., pens, serving utensils, door handles, etc.) and reduce lines to encourage people to stay at least six feet apart through signage and other visual cues.
