Booked this hotel thinking would be great experience since Marriott hotels have aways been great hotels to stay in based on our past experience wirh them. Unfortunately it was disappointing. Upon arrival fron desk lady was not welcoming. The tv in our room was not working on Friday. They were suppose to get it fix on Saturday and we check out on Sunday and t. V never worked. Same lady check us in same lady check us out and she said she was aware of issues with 3rd floor T. V's not working seem she did not even care or wanted to hear about it. This Marriott hotel is very different from all the other Marriott hotels we have stayed in.

We checked into our room and noticed that it was warm and muggy in the room. We were attending a dinner party and had to leave by 5:30pm. I called the front desk to let them know, the said they would send someone to take a look. We got back to the room at 10:30pm and had to move to another room.
