Though the hotel is going through a full refurbishment, the room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were all courteous and helpful. Our only concern was lack of airport shuttle; however, they recommended a driver and he was very reasonable and I spite of our significant airline delay, he picked us up (at 2:30 AM). Even the front desk staff were pleasant when we arrived at this crazy hour. Well done Marriott!
