Though the hotel is going through a full refurbishment, the room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were all courteous and helpful. Our only concern was lack of airport shuttle; however, they recommended a driver and he was very reasonable and I spite of our significant airline delay, he picked us up (at 2:30 AM). Even the front desk staff were pleasant when we arrived at this crazy hour. Well done Marriott!

Renovation underway

The hotels is undergoing intensive renovations. We were woken up on Saturday to jackhammering and drilling. On top of that we were charged twice after already purchasing our room in full via Hotels.com. The hotel told me that I’ll be refunded but it may take 7-10 days.
