Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Solid property, super convenient, clean but older layout and tight bathroom. Great shower head, great breakfast, good coffee and staff upfront helpful. Mr. Randy particularly friendly! Everything is expensive these days so value for the $ is important.
One of the tv in the suite didn’t work. I didn’t like the charged my card an extra 200 for a deposit and was not a hold ! Considering it’s we all paid before. The rooms had an old misty smell to it! On bother suits I reserved. Will book at my regular hotels with Marriott’s from now on. Thought would give them a try big mistake.
Room was clean but showed some wear. Breakfast was better than expect with many options and fresh. Plenary of parking when you navigate thru the in and out traffic clogging the driveway.
