Location is great. Only two employees were friendly: Stephanie (breakfast) and Briana ( front desk). Dissatisfied with: 1. Only one elevator working and then, this one stopped working for hours; 2. Room appeared tired,nothing compared to pictures; 3. Poor ventilation in bathroom: 4. Front desk staff needs training in welcoming smile and attitude; 5. Housekeeping team appeared overwhelmed.

We were upgraded whoch was great but it seemed a waste aincw we were only staying one night. The bed was comfortable. The body wash dispenser was laying on the floor of the shower. Overall the property shows like it is very upscale but it could use some updates in the rooms.

Don't stay here if you want basic services

There is no management team in this hotel so don't expect any help or service. The daytime front desk staff is helpful; forget the after hours & weekend staff - they'd rather die than be helpful. The hotel is in a great location; it's just so far less than what you'd expect from a Marriott in terms of basic customer service. And, you can't walk up & down the stairs because you're locked out of all of the floors except the ground floor exits. Front desk staff don't even have uniform clothing; that's how unprofessional & ridiculous it is.

This is a terrible property. The hotel is very old and rooms are dated. From the bathroom to the kitchenette area to the furnishings. The hotel is inadequate. In addition, parking is limited so we were told to park across the street in a public parking structure that didn't feel very secure and safe. At check-in, we were given the wrong room type and told there was an error in their system. Then I didn't receive my Gold benefit check-in gift unil I requested it which were free water bottles as I was in the process to buy a water bottle. I would not stay at this property again and I would point travelers to other options.
