Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Just awful :(
My mattress had dried vomit on it, the leather headboard was peeling off, the carpet was so dirty I made my kids keep their socks on. The furniture in the lobby was falling apart and the wallpaper in the hallways was coming down. We paid $236 a night and were disgusted. I am the type of customer who never complains, but this was unacceptable for this rate. I have never been to another Marriott property with these issues. We had planned to stay another night, but left.

Location is great. Desk clerk gave incorrect info about parking. Bartenders were great. Rooms just felt outdated dark and could use some deep cleaning. No mirror in room so difficult for 2 women to get ready at same time. No microwave. 1st courtyard ive stayed at that didn’t offer free breakfast. Tops of bedskirts were filthy. Missing/rotten baseboard in bathroom. Wasn't horrible but will stay elsewhere next time.

Rooms are clean with nice decor and comfortable beds. The only thing is the lack of lighting in the bathroom over the sink. Other than that this a Great Place to stay.
