Nice clean hotel with an excellent location to the Magnolia Theatre (just across the street). Our Expedia conformation showed check-in time to be 3:00PM. Upon arrival at 2:50PM I was told our room wouldn't be ready until 4:00PM check-in time. I showed her my conformation email and was then able to check-in at 3:25. There is a bar in the lobby which would have been nice to wait in, but it doesn't open until 5:00PM. We were disappointed that there is not a complimentary breakfast at this Marriott. My husband and I are retired and travel alot and always book hotels with a light breakfast. For that reason, we will stay at another hotel in the area next time.

The proper was well maintained and close to everything. Nothing more than 10 - 15 min drive. The room was clean and updated. The only issue was the shower. The water pressure was a not that good. But over all I would recommend on stay here. It was worth the price.

We were given handicap room..not sure why. The door bell for this room rang at all hours of the day and night by itself. It was not fixed. Also, we had bigger room and I had to convince several time that this room was missing a floor lamp, which put 1/2 the room in total darkness. Finally, the maintenance man rectified this extreme problem

I’m writing to express my concerns about my recent stay.

At check-in, the staff member assisting me failed to inform me that a key card was required to activate the lights in the room. I was only provided with one key card, which caused unnecessary confusion and inconvenience.

While waiting in the lobby, I noticed it felt unusually warm, which led me to believe the air conditioning was not working. This was later confirmed when I overheard staff members discussing that the lobby AC had been out of service for approximately two weeks.

Additionally, I had purchased food and stored it in the mini fridge provided in the room; however, the fridge was not functioning, resulting in my food spoiling.

The cleanliness of the bathroom was also below expectations. There was visible hair left in the shower from previous guests, and the bathroom floors were noticeably stained. I will say that the beds were clean and comfortable, which I did appreciate. However, the overall experience fell short due to the issues mentioned above and was not worth the amount of money spent.

I hope these concerns can be addressed to improve future guest experiences.

Sincerely,
Erica Aguilera

Staff was courteous.
Bar was closed due to an event. You'd think your customers staying at the hotel would be as important as the profit you're getting from the event.
Very hard to get out of the queen beds if you had two people in each bed...so close to tge ac unit and room divider.
Strong sewer smell in the closet, slightly less smell from the bathroom. Mentioned at check-out.

Breakfast was disappointing especially since I prepaid for it. Start time on TV hotel services menu said it was 5:30 AM. Desk personnel said breakfast started at 6. Cook for breakfast did not arrive until 730. We had to leave by then. So a breakfast bagel and coffee was not what I expected. Change the breakfast hours or get a cook who can start on time. Outside of that disappointment, the hotel is comfortable.

My stay was only for the Service and Commitment of my dear friend. I cut short by 1 day as everything had ended after the Friday morning service at Fort Rosecrans. On arrival, the Check in staff was friendly, kind and professional. Very sweet to us. After arriving back to the Hotel after from the Commitment service, the young man at the desk was very accommodating to let us check out earlier and return home. I couldn’t have asked for a better caring staff at this time. I was also upgraded to a larger room for what reason I do not know.
