Room was clean, staff very nice, beds comfortable. I was just surprised at being a top scale name of motels, that it did not offer any anemities at all. No complementary coffee any place, no complimentary breakfast. I was very surprised that we had to pay for these things at a connected bistro inside the lobby.

Was not happy to learn that my final invoice showed a $40 increase over the first night that I paid for, with no logical explanation. Because the hotel is located right off the highway, there is a constant background sound of a white noise machine. It sounds as though someone shower is constantly running. Even though the building is non-smoking, I could still smell smoke from wherever people were smoking cigarettes.

The best part was that the air-conditioning or heating unit was in the bathroom and not in the bedroom where you slept so there was no noise going on and off all night long

This is a nice facility, located where we can easily drive to an event we attend yearly. My spouse used to travel on business, her employer wanted Marriott as the go-to for hotels. She is happy with the chain.
