Loved the very well stocked mini kitchen!!!! They thought of everything, right down to the dish soap and towels!
The bed was comfy and the couch as well!! The bathrooms are very simple and clean…maybe just not updated like you might expect in a high end place like this!
Fabulous stay!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One minor glitch with a wakeup call, but overall, the staff was personable, helpful, professional, and friendly, especially Eddie, Briana, and Alex.It was a perfect location, and the history was amazing; walking the halls of what was the original Gimbel's department store! We walked an average of 6 miles/day exploring the city, landmarks, and bars!! room was spacious, amenities were good with shampoo, coffee machine, microwave, etc. The breakfast was superb with a good variety of low-calorie and regular food. I would book this hotel again for its location, history and staff.

The staff at this hotel was sort of bizarre and not helpful. We were in town to do a race and asked for a late check-out. We kept being told (two different instance for two different rooms for our group) if we were members of Marriott Bonvoy, that we could get a later checkout. Once we signed up, we were told that we had to ask someone else in the morning. We also asked when coffee would be out (since we were leaving early the next morning) and were told that sometimes it went out early and sometimes it didn’t. I understand a “we’ll make a note of it” or a “we can never get it out that early”, but it was just a strange response in a line of strange responses. When we finally found someone who would give us a late checkout, all of the keys had stopped working. To be fair, they fixed this very quickly, but then the key also didn’t work to get back in the garage to retrieve our cars.
The rooms were spacious and clean, but the interactions with front desk staff were sort of bizarre.

My son got stuck in the elevator for an hour. The staff know that the second elevator was already not working and didn't inform guest. I was on the 8th floor, the highest floor. When I asked how do I get all my belonging down, there was no answer. I did run into a nice man that did work for the hotel and he helped me. (it took two trips) No one has contracted me about the incident and my refund has not come back. I have called the hotel and they just say someone will call you back. The other problem I had is, the hotel has a garage but only certain guest where allowed access even thought there was more then enough room. It was snowing and I had to park across the street. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone!!!

Don't stay here if you want basic services

There is no management team in this hotel so don't expect any help or service. The daytime front desk staff is helpful; forget the after hours & weekend staff - they'd rather die than be helpful. The hotel is in a great location; it's just so far less than what you'd expect from a Marriott in terms of basic customer service. And, you can't walk up & down the stairs because you're locked out of all of the floors except the ground floor exits. Front desk staff don't even have uniform clothing; that's how unprofessional & ridiculous it is.

This is a terrible property. The hotel is very old and rooms are dated. From the bathroom to the kitchenette area to the furnishings. The hotel is inadequate. In addition, parking is limited so we were told to park across the street in a public parking structure that didn't feel very secure and safe. At check-in, we were given the wrong room type and told there was an error in their system. Then I didn't receive my Gold benefit check-in gift unil I requested it which were free water bottles as I was in the process to buy a water bottle. I would not stay at this property again and I would point travelers to other options.

The service by the employees was good, but the bed was hard as a rock. The pillows were super flat, and while I understand that a sofa bed will not be as comfortable as a bed, it was awful. I could feel the springs dig into me when I tried to sleep. It was clean and had a good breakfast though.

Loved the location and attached underground self-parking! Note: Check in at the front desk first to receive a QR code that they will text to your phone. This QR code needs to be scanned to gain access to their underground parking area. Hotel rooms are located on floors 5 thru 8. Elevators are only accessible with hotel guest key cards. Rooms are very spacious & feature floor to ceiling windows with both sheer curtains and room darkening curtains. Extremely high ceilings give a regal feel to the accomodations! Generous desk area with desk light.
Kitchenette features a full size refrigerator/freezer with ice maker! Microwave & coffee maker along with sink and faucet. Table and 2 chairs for dining in the room. Hotel allows both grocery and take out food delivery in the lobby. Sectional sofa for lounging and large flat screen TV on a swivel for viewing from all parts of the room. Bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable! Side tables have outlets. Closet offers full length, mirrored sliding doors. Bathroom has separate sink and vanity. While the room was clean and comfortable, it was a bit dated. Not very sound proof, as conversations from the hallway were loud and clear. Overall, I would still highly recommend, especially if you're going to the Riverside Theater across the street!
