We loved this stay so much. We felt safe/easy walk to the stadium. The room was spacious, quiet, and clean. Bed was comfy. Plenty of room for my kids’ pack n play and cot. Breakfast was nice. Staff were nice. My only complaint was parking. I would recommend to take the staff’s advice and do valet ($42). We chose to park ourselves (supposed to be $30 overnight) and got charged $60 when we left so I’ll work on disputing that - this is not the hotel’s fault just wanted other people staying to be aware about the parking situation in the garage!

I love this location. And they have yummy eggs and baked goods for breakfast. And having a kitchen and a bottle to refrigerate water. The water was off all day during the day. They had it posted in the lobby but didn’t let me know in advance. And I had a weird thing happen where I asked them not to come into my room to clean and they came in and didn’t shut the door all the way. It made me feel anxious when I returned to the room. Nothing happened but it was unsettling.

The property was upgrading its plumbing, so the guest did not have water during the hours of 9-5, which meant you had to hurry up and get ready instead of relaxing. Plus the bathroom shower door would not stay close. I expected so much more from a Marriott property. I am a Bonvy Member and I am still waiting for my points to post as well. I think they should have let the guest know when they booked, so we had the option to stay somewhere else.
