We cut our trip short. The facility was noisy both from the hallway and the street noises. Our bed was tilted with our heads at a lower point than our feet. This was not comfortable at all. We were disappointed, Marriott's are usually better stays.

the first room we were put in, the air conditioner would not work and the shower would only work with extremely hot water, when you would turn it to cold it would shut down completely. we informed the day MGR and when we returned that evening the night MGR was unaware of any of our concerns. he put us in another room and this one had a tub spout that would not work to transfer water to the shower head. I'm 6'5" tall and do not take BATHS. when we checked out the day MGR was not at all interested in our satisfaction
