The hotel was clean but definitely needed maintenance throughout. Room was clean with a nice view but beds were not super comfortable. Hotel bar staff were great. Starbucks lacked a little and the breakfast was not worth $20

This location was such a disappointment. The toilet seat looked like it was 30 years old. The bathtub had stains! And the carpet looked like it had not been cleaned. I had to put towels on the floor from my bed to the shower. Never again. I love the Marriott brand but avoid this location.
