Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The standard amenities like ice machines and vending machines were not available on the floors of the rooms. We got in late and were only staying one night so we asked for a late checkout and were only given thirty minutes. This is the smallest allowance for time on a late checkout request I had ever received, anywhere, and I have travelled extensively. If there was a spa or pool, nobody mentioned it to me. I enjoyed the quality of the room and it was clean/comfortable, but all the other amenities I mentioned were lackluster. We had to pay for valet parking but the car was not brought to us when we picked it up, we had to locate and drive it out ourselves. Overall, it was a clean and relatively nice hotel, but there was no customer gratitude shown. The staff was nice, just not overly concerned with customer service.

Terrible valet parking. Room wasn’t ready

No parking available at valet. Had to pay for metered parking outside. Checked in at 4:30pm and room was not available till after 5:30pm. Hotel and valet do not operate as a single business. They appear to be separate. Valet parking is the only option and their setup is a nightmare.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very comfortable bedding, clean rooms. Parking was a nightmare—we had to circle for nearly an hour. The rate we were charged was higher than what we were quoted, and when I asked for a couple of extra pillows, they never showed up. Service from the manager was also very underwhelming and far from what you’d expect at this level. If you’re looking for luxury experience, keep searching elsewhere.

Not customer friendly, poor way to check in. Cafe employee gave us the wrong information regarding closing hours for dining. Ordered take out , front desk receive it and did not call us to pickup food, we waiting , but had to check and call the desk . At check out carts for your suit case are located in the basement parking area not in the lobby, unheard of this before. I have been a marriott member for over 30 year, this is the only time that I've been very unhappy with the services John Danelon

No food options at the hotel. Bar and restaurant were closed Sunday when we arrived at 5 pm. Disappointed. Could hear someone walking and running around on the floor above in the early morning and could not get back to sleep. Check in staff person was very nice.
