Amenities were sparse. Took a day and a half to get hot water. Problem with water system. Lobby was not very inviting. Room furnishings were stark and lacked basic table and chairs in a suite. Large open area in bedroom looking like something was missing. Called front desk twice and rang 10 plus times.. no answer. Restaurant tables not clean or kept up. So many things. Not normal for a Marriott hotel.
