Pleasantly surprised by the Marco . It’s not a luxury place but it’s clean , quiet , nice shower , nice location by the lakefront for walking and close to restaurants. Only thing that can be improved is the front desk check in staff . Less than warm and welcoming . The breakfast was ok .

I liked the clean recently renovated rooms. I disliked that both pieces of cardio equipment in the gym were broken. The air conditioner in the gym was broken, and the free breakfast was bad. They ran out of coffee and had a very small selection
