Decided last minute to stay here for a concert at Merriwether Post. We checked in early and walked to the venue. Shuttle available but it was nice so we decided to walk. Room was clean and very comfortable. After the concert, one elevator was out and it was a little loud, but otherwise is was an excellent stay.

5 star price; not a 5 star hotel

This is a dressed up Marriott and a great option for a suburban stay. However, it is not worth $400 per night. For that price I would expect a more upscale experience. Minimal travel size toiletries are provided and no robes. We ordered room service and it was delivered in a to go paper bag and plastic containers. Worst of all the walls were paper thin. Our neighbor must have been ill and we heard them all night and morning. Overall it’s a nice place to stay, but the price doesn’t match the quality especially considering there is a Doubletree downtown for half the price.
