No one told us about the construction
The hotel itself was nice but the staff had bad attitudes and never informed us of any construction going on. After driving for 8 hours to get there I was exhausted and looking forward to sleeping in on a Saturday morning. Instead me and my husband were woken at 6:30am to the sound of stomping and men yelling. We called the front desk and were informed they were having roof work done right above us. It would have been nice to know that before checking in, I would have asked to be moved. There was only roof work being done above us, no where else. Ridiculous

Not again for what I paid.
I realize it’s an older building, but the lighting in the rooms, specifically the bathrooms, is lacking. Also the water pressure and hot water temperature could use some serious improvements.

Access to 2nd floor is terrible - guests have to hike a long distance to the elevator. Awful design and very inconvenient. Will not return

Walking into the property smelled really fresh. Upon arrival into the room there was trash in the waste paper basket and red lipstick on the upper portion of the shower curtain. The faucet to the tub/shower wasn’t securely attached. The sliding door leading out to the patio was inoperative because it wouldn’t lock. The body wash dispenser was empty by day two (how often is it refilled when rooms are cleaned). The alarm clock is 2 hours behind which made me late for the event I came in town for. I stayed in room 126 from Thursday September 5 thru Sunday September 8 2024. I’ve stayed at several Marriott properties and this does not met their standards. The staff was very professional and friendly. And the beds were very comfortable.

Poor quality and service
Air conditioning didn’t work. Smoke alarm went off at 3 am & hotel staff didn’t know what to do. We took it off the wall. Room smelled moldy. Definitely not worth what we paid. Not going back here when we are in the area.

My room reeked of mildew to the point I turned the air off and kept all of my clothes in my suitcase so they wouldn’t smell.
I was never able to get more than like warm water for the shower no matter where I put the nozzle or how long I waited.
We will not be coming back.

It's clear the people working here work hard to make the guest experience as pleasant as possible. Public areas were well-maintained, and the courtyard had a pleasant atmosphere. The gym equipment needs some maintenance and updating, but it certainly isn't the worst gym I've used. The HVAC system for parts of the building struggle against the humidity; my room was fine, but a coworker's room on the opposite side of the building was musty. Similarly, my hot water was fine, but theirs was non-existent.

The staff ŵas courteous & friendly. The hotel was clean & welcoming. The site provided fresh, sweet, iced water in the lobby all throughout the day.
On the Expedia site, it stated that this hotel had breakfast but should have listed that it was for purchase. I was disappointed to find out that breakfast was for purchase & not provided to guests. Tv did not work in my room during my stay & the light in the entry area of the room, did not work. I had called guest services 3x & no assistance was sent to my room. They offered me to change rooms but it was too late & I was already settled in the room.

Nice stay expected little more from Marriott
Carpet needs to be cleaned in our room. Front desk gave us the impression we could check in before4:00 but our room wasn’t ready until 4:00. No microwave, kinda of cheesy after paying over 300.00 for lodging. Lobby area was nice, pool area nice. Housekeeping was very helpful.
