My review is a bit off- staff was courteous and helpful. But because there was a boiler issue on my second morning I did not have hot water.
Great staff - very welcoming! Terrific location right off the highway & across from SUNY. Definitely meets the expectations of a Marriott property. Clean, quiet room, made sure to meet my requests prior to check-in, good price. All around win
Bar opened a little early to accommodate my request for a glass of wine to take to my room

Checked in Saturday and room was still not serviced by Tuesday. I had to ask for service and some extra items. Staff was always polite and willing to help but we should not have to ask for the basics. Water heater broke down and caused inevitable delays for getting ready for business obligations. Accidents happen and understandable but still waiting to see the promised 10,000 points after repeated inquiries at the front desk. Relative quiet but during two nights around 2-3am folks were partying and was very unpleasant.
We were replaced in the ultra handicap room that was tucked away around the corner. It was not necessary.. The hotel was empty and I’m sure there were other rooms that weren’t available and also the chicken took forever with Marc in the evening.
