Our room was not available when we checked in at 4pm as stated on the site. Front desk was not very helpful but manager walked up and offered comp parking. When I asked to be called when my room was ready I was not. I called to see if it was available because I didn’t want to drive back for no reason and I was placed on hold for a very long time with no answer which I hung up and drove to the hotel. I had dinner reservations I was late to because I didn’t get ready in time due to late check in.

The hotel is beautiful and the views were incredible, however the room was not cleaned thoroughly. The mirror in the bathroom had spots, the back of the door was really dirty, the floor was not cleaned properly. There was sticky stuff on the leather chair, the sliding glass door was not cleaned and the tracking really needs to be cleaned. Being it was our Anniversary present to ourselves, I was very upset. I normally do not like to give a bad review but this could have been a much more pleasurable say had it been a clean room. I would have complained but we were so tired and didn’t want to repack after driving from Az.

The room was nice. I didnt see anything in the room and wasnt told at checkin no housekeeping. I called to call for towels. When I came back to the room after being gone the room had not been cleaned. Just tell the guest if you dont have housekeeping unless requested. At check in I do not think the check in person was courteous. I was rattled by the parking garage as I was almost stuck. You should definitely tell people your parking garage is meant for compact cars. The small SUV in front of me had the worst time too. We both left your garage after about 30 min of trying to park and basically get out. I was able to find parking in the lot across the street. ot what I wanted, outside parking and in rain, the lot was flooded in spots. When I told the check in person about the garage she looked at me and said nothing. then responded yep its like that. I told her if it wasnt late and I was not going to be charged I would look for a room elsewhere. Not to mention standing outside a locked door and ringing to get in no one helping. A guest coming in opened for me. She told me the door doesnt lock until 9 but...somoene walked up and said its locking and they are looking at it. This stay was ot what I expected from Marriott. I love Marriots. It was a disappointment only in regards to hotel and parking. Loved the location and felt it was safe. Thankfully there was that.
