Aggressive Housekeeping
The hotel was fine, accommodations were good. The only negative was housekeeping banging on the door at 9:00 am (Sunday morning) inquiring whether they could clean the room. Check out was 12 pm (noon), thought that was somewhat aggressive. L

2 September 2024
We’ve stayed at this property many times before but it has gone downhill since our last time there a year ago. The staff seems lost and the front desk is a joke, nobody knows what’s going on. In the evening they had Fox News on at the bar area in this huge TV, I had to ask an employee to switch it to something else, anything! I don’t think a hotel should have that kind of upsetting programming forced on guests! Have HGTV on or sports! Anything but Fox! Come on! This is a Marriott hotel I expected better. The breakfast I paid for through my reservation was so frustrating because they keep trying to charge you for it again! I’m still fighting over an $80 charge for breakfast that is in error! I do not recommend this hotel, I will not stay there again.

New, small and modern setting. Sheets and mattresses had stains and it was difficult to get a solution, although the front desk offered free parking, still doesn’t fix the issue for the time being

Bait & Switch
When I made the reservation, it said that breakfast was included. But in the morning I called down to see how it worked I was told that breakfast was not included and we ended up leaving the hotel early and paying for our breakfast elsewhere. BOO

The rooms were updated, clean and modern. There was no waitstaff available to serve breakfast (buffet) so we had find somewhere else to eat.
