The hotel was under construction. We were not alerted to this before booking, noise level was ridiculous. Table saws and hammering all day. Pool, gym and pool deck were all closed down. I was placed into incorrect room size, booked and paid for a balcony and city view, received neither. I was moved the 1st time to a correct room but the noise was so bad we had to move again. In the third room, the noise was still unbearable. 3 moves, three unpacking and packing again.

There is NO RESTAURANT, NO BAR, NO POOL, NO AMENITIES. On top of that, they charged me $320 for My Executive Suite but HAD NO such suite available AND then said because it was booked thru Expedia they are not required to honor the booking. Attitudes were horrible. Service was horrible, shame on Marriott BonVoy!!! They literally charged me $310 for a $145 room. Don’t book if using Expedia at all and don’t THIS HOTEL- False advertising.

We were not informed at the time of booking that the hotel was under complete renovation. No amenities were available for guests. Construction was everywhere. Had to listen to jackhammers thankfully only until 4pm. Water was shut off one day for 4 hours. Only one elevator was working out of 5 of which the construction workers were using as well so long waits to get up or down. Our room was one of the newly renovated so it was spacious and nice. the air conditioning was very loud so much that it would wake you up every time it came on. The hotel is near the freeway so leaving the balcony door open for air wasn’t a good alternative either. Location to restaurants and public transportation was the only plus about this hotel. The Manager Lilian tried her best but really had nothing to offer except for a late checkout. Don’t think I would stay here again even when the renovation is complete.
