Convenient. Rooms was small...odd. For nearly $200.... We found it odd that there was no "free" coffee service in the lobby or breakfast bar

The hotel shares a common shared space with an Italian restaurant and a BP gas station convenience store, so we didn’t need to travel to eat dinner or get snacks or gas. The area felt safe. The staff was attentive and friendly. The rooms facing the highway are a little noisy due to traffic noise, but that should be expected. Overall, we would stay at the hotel again.

Lovely place

I just love this place. I have stayed in some other courtyard Marriott, where nobody pays attention to the condition of the actual courtyard. But this one was so clean and there was even a fire pit that the nice young gentleman at the front desk lit for me and my friends. Their kitchen bar area is open until 9 PM which is a nice treat when you get in late.

Kind and attentive staff. The lobby is attractive, and the fitness center and pool area were great. However, sleeping at this facility left me completely unrested. The walls are paper-thin. In the first room we were in, you could hear cars, trucks, motorcycles. It got so bad, we packed up our things, contacted the front desk, and moved to another room in the middle of the night. The new room was great for being away from the highway, but terrible for everything else. We could hear people talking, showering, closing doors. The room next door was so loud in conversation that I had to knock on his door to tell him to talk softer. We should not have been able to hear him in the first place. If you're here for a night or two, it's fine, but any longer, I'd recommend staying elsewhere. This hotel should also consider getting rid of the carpet in the rooms, considering how many people and pets walk on it.

Cleanliness was missing

Cleanliness was subpar. Lots of unknown stains on furniture. Balcony was littered with crumbs. Top sheet of bed had little black bugs.
