We complained several times during our stay about the clogged sink in our bathroom. We were told each time by a very polite staff that it was being attended to; however we saw no noticeable difference! It is not pleasant to have to brush your teeth in the bathtub! I hope this means that the next guest in that room will have a better experience.

My experience here was great all the way around. I was only going to be here for 9 or 10 hours but Ray made my short stay pleasurable. The check-in was flawless, he knew his stuff & went out of his way to make sure he shared all the necessary info from the parking to the restaurant to the lobby market. He informed me of the indoor pool & 24 hour fitness center. The lobby is very spacious, it's also well kept. Very clean. I couldn't have asked for better customer service. Wish there were more Ray's around to give the hospitality he gave. If i need to come to the area again, I will definitely stay here. Thank you soooo much Ray & thank u Marriott!!!

The hotel is situated in a very convenient downtown area. Room was clean and spacious. The only think I didn’t like was that you had to go down to the lobby to order your limited breakfast since it was not a buffet, but with the cost of a buffet. The pool was very small and constrict. Parking is paid and very expensive overnight. I paid because it was 1 night only but otherwise would have chose another hotel.

The room was not clean after the first night, and I had to contact the front desk to request housekeeping service. There was also a noticeable mildew smell in the room. While the extreme 100-degree weather may have contributed to this, it still should not have been an issue.

The staff was very helpful and courteous throughout my stay. However, I was unable to connect to the Wi-Fi, and despite the staff's efforts, they were unable to resolve the problem.

On a positive note, the location was excellent, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and activities within walking distance.

No real complaints other than the parking. The gentleman who checked us in offered us parking since I am disabled but never mentioned that it cost $40 per day. Was not expecting free parking by any means but we already had parking somewhere close for cheaper than that rate and he made it seem as if it were free.

Room was ok but the bathroom was very smelly, damp and musty. The 2nd day of our stay, we were short of 1 set of towel and the next day our room was not cleaned at all. The beds and bathroom were as we left them in the morning and trash was not picked up. We ran out of shower gel on the last day. I complained at the desk since manager was not there and asked the lady to make sure the manager is made aware.

Crazy rates during University events (ie. move in/move out, graduation wknds) so its tough to avoid the ridiculous prices during these dates. The convenience of location is what makes this a prime spot to stay. The gym is actually pretty decent if no one else is in there, and the pool is pretty funny - its like 5 feet long, 5 feet wide, and almost 5 feet deep - a cube of water to dip in, right in there basement garage area.

The manager didn't even care enough to talk with me about any of the issues we had during our stay. You would think that if a guests room was nor receiving maid service and the guest had to contact the staff multiple times, the manager would care. But not in this case. It has been five days since our check in and not contact from management. While lack of mad service and then chasing down the staff to do the normal every day things expected of any hotel, it is not the only problem with this hotel. Looking from the outside in, it looks fine. But when you have to stay there the little things add up. The bed is like 8 inches of foam on pallet, not comfortable at all. After an hour, the side you are laying on is numb, from laying on the board. The TV has a black line running from top to bottom. Just checking in is an ordeal. limited space in front, when one car is stopped no one can get by. We waited 20 minutes to go 100 feet to get to the parking garage. Talk about the mark up for the NFL draft weekend, $1,200.00 for two days. With no maid service we had to call, a lot, just to get clean towels. The furniture in the one room \"suit\" was actually less comfortable than the bed, one inch of foam on a board. The in room coffee pot did not work. The only good thing I can say is there was good water pressure in the shower. Of course we couldn't dry off, not clean towels. This place has delusions of adequacy.

Hotel was perfect! I especially want to highlight how one of your team members went above and beyond during my stay. I forgot to pack my phone charger and only had a USB cord, but the USB charging port in the room wasn’t working. When I called the front desk, they sent up an engineer who was very apologetic and tried to resolve the issue.

When he couldn’t get it working right away, he asked me to hang tight and returned shortly after with his own personal phone charger. He insisted that I use it to charge my phone. His kindness, genuine concern, and willingness to help truly stood out. The level of care he showed was beyond any customer service I’ve experienced before.

We stayed 2 nights. First off, parking was $40 per night and it was horrible. We went there on a non busy weeknight so we were able to get a parking spot but if during peak season, I'm sure there won't be enough parking as there were only like 30 spots. And the parking spots were extremely tight, really hard to park with our mini van. We ended up just parked there the whole time and either walk or uber. The elevator was not functioning properly on our first night, after a long drive and being so tired, we checked in at 10pm but the staff didn't tell us about the elevator issue. Out of the 3, one was a \"staff use\" with a hand written note so we didn't get on that one, but that one was the only one that stopped on the lobby as the other two won't stop. After the door closed 4 times, we got in the \"staff\" one and it won't go up, it just stayed there, the buttons didn't work, we got stuck in there for a few minutes and finally got out to the lobby. Finally after we got out, then then staff told us we had to press \"down\" to wait for the other two to come up, if we press \"up\", only the \"staff\" elevator would stop on the lobby and the other two won't, Great, after 10 minutes, he finally told us!! The room was very small and the bathtub was moldy (there were black stuff on the tiles), no ventilation fan in the bathroom. I will NOT stay there again.

Very nice hotel overall. We just ran into a couple issues.

Despite booking a 2 queen room, they overbooked and we were downgraded to a king and sofabed, told it was an upgrade at no additional charge, but it certainly wasn't. We realized we weren't provided sheets for the sofabed, so we called housekeeping. We never received the sheets so we used the top sheet off of the king bed for our daughter. The sofabed was as hard as a rock. Honestly surprised she was able to sleep.

Also, the parking lot for \"larger vehicles\" was a joke. The lane to get in was so narrow you almost had to go over the curb and the space in between the rows effectively trapped you. I know finding parking downtown is difficult but this was laid out so poorly.

Ideal location for a university tour though! Really wish our room would have been discounted because it was definitely a downgrade, but I didn't request it as the hotel was absolutely packed.
