Courtyard by Marriott

Courtyard is located nearby Ataturk International Airport, not quite sure about the distance but I could see the airport from my room window. This place is about 15 minutes drive from the airport, provided if there is no traffic jam.
The hotel isn't the superb posh 5-star hotel, though the standard is on par with it.
Anyhow, it has all the usual standard facilities, with restaurant, cafe, beauty salon, function rooms, ballrooms, etc...
 isn't a huge hotel, but the lobby is greatly design
 the bar as viewed from first floor
 some decorative items at the restaurant entrance...very 'middle east' with shisha, bottles and trays
 "the market" that sells basic needs, sort of a sundry shop but with overpriced items...
 another set of decorative items - spices
 this is a superb view from my room, the airport is visible from here
and you can sit next to the window to enjoy the traffic flow below.
Cool?

During the weekdays, the driver would picked us (me & colleague) from the apartment at 8am daily. Sometimes he would use different route...
