Worst Hotel Experience EVER

This hotel is an absolute joke. Outrageously overpriced for an awful stay and experience. The restaurant was closed and they claimed to offer free coffee in the lobby in the morning. It was nowhere to be found. I asked for turn down service before my girlfriend arrived and they said they would but never did. The room smelled like musty water and was never cleaned. The one time the maids did come in the room they took all our towels and left us with one for two people. Stay far away from this establishment. I even was nice and wrote a non public review highlighting all of these things and the manager or hotel never reached out. SICK JOKE

Hotel room was nice and clean. House keeping was wonderful. Got a little attitude from front desk when asking for additional towels. No a/c in hallway but room was always cool. Biggest frustration was the $25/day hold charge for valet service even though we didn’t have a vehicle. Yes it was refunded after 5 days but why charge it to begin with.

The property list there's a bistro on the property. The bistro has not been opened in several weeks. As a person who likes to eat early in the morning prior to going out this was disheartening. My husband who enjoys a drink later in the evening this too was disappointing. The ambiance in music was there but there was no food or drinks being served on the property as stated in the amenities for the property.

Customer service was well but ths facility itself was old and had a bad odor in the room. It was warm in the building and when yiu walk into the room it was cool but had like a wet mildew smell to it. Hotel seems very dated not what we expect from a Marriott.

Top Notch Staff w Av Accommodations

Comfy bed and clean room; furniture old, scratched up, and tv not working. Entrance/check in was in much better condition; service for dinner closed, very disappointing because I chose the hotel with that in mind; breakfast was good; by far customer service was top notch, and that made up for all the things that were just average about the place.

For the price, it was only basic. No fridge no cooktop just a microwave and a coffee pot on top of the desk and then there was only a 30 inch TV in a room you paid $200 a day for.
