Bridger, Smithfield

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel is really quite nice, especially the lobby area. The room was very nice, modern, laid out well, and clean. I liked the big TV too. I only gave it 4 stars because there are 2 things that let it down. First, you have to be a Marriott Bonvoy member to get access to the wifi. I know it's free to sign up, but it's still annoying. And second, the parking is not free, and even worse - it's handled by a third party, so you have to spend a bunch of time signing up for some stupid private party parking account online.

I was requesting a late check out all morning via the messenger, and nobody responded. Then I arrived after 12 and the front desk clerk said it was close enough and I would be refunded 1-day. Then I returned to checkout and the manager overruled and declined my request. Saying it was past 12 - right in front of the clerk. Very disappointed as a Bonvoy Member....karl

AVOID

The rooms in this Marriott are very dated and beyond hope. The ceilings are very low and claustrophobic. The bathrooms were molding and the air system left me with a cough. The pay parking situation is absurd considering they have a park. they have a parking lot the size of Texas. After you check in, they require you to return to your cat and pay for parking online. I would never stay here again.
