The room was nice & the fireplace made it very cozy. The downside was the unacceptable noise level of the kids playing in the hallway till almost 11pm. Should my husband and I choose to stay again, I will be phoning any hotel property directly to see if youth teams will be staying the same time we are hoping to stay.

the main problem we had was the morning after our night's stay - the cleaning staff started making so much noice outside our room at 8AM! we were up later celebrating a wedding and was expecting to sleep in- which was the main reason we decided to stay at a hotel instead of sharing a B&B - we wanted the peace and quiet in the morning as we don't get to sleep in much with kids. The cleaning staff were loudly talking to each other- ACROSS THE HALLWAY! - and all of this noise went on from 8 am to about 9:30 - vacuuming, doors opening and closing constantly... we kept on trying to go back to sleep - in and out, in and out - we missed breakfast for this reason! Also, there was no tissue box in the room - prompting us to go get our own - I would expect this basic item in our room. Despite the cleanliness - we cant help but rate poorly as sleep is the main component of our stay at the hotel - especially if we are staying one night and if that wasn't satisfactory - it leaves an overall bad experience.

Overall, our stay was excellent. We were upgraded from a regular king room to a room with a fireplace as it was our anniversary. The only disappointment was the noise of a few of the guests at 3:15am in the hallway. The room was clean and comfortable.

If you’re planning a trip to the St Jacob’s Market. This hotel is within walking distance. Our room was large and clean. We did not eat in the hotel restaurant so I didn’t rate the breakfast. As an EV car owner. There were plenty of charging stations available. The staff were very friendly, and accommodating! We recommend.

The toilet was too low and both my wife and I had problems getting up. No grab bar available for assistance. At 2:00 am I tried to use the elevator to go down to the "market" to buy something to eat. The elevator did not function. When I called down to report this to the desk, they seemed to know about it but were not equipped to deal with the problem. They told me I would have to wait until the "morning" shift came on at about 7 am. After 7 am I called the front desk and was told that their maintenance person would not answer the phone until after 8 am and that they would call me to let me know the results.. Every time I spoke to the front desk I advised the attendant of the following: Both my wife and I are handicapped and cannot use the stairs. We must be in our car and on the road no later than 10 am, due to a nurse appointment in Toronto to check my bandages, reset my pump, replenish my antibiotics and clense my picc line (I recently had spinal surgery and developed an infection). At no time did I feel that Marriot understood our potential dilema or that they were sympathetic to our situation. I did not get much sleep as I was on the phone with the front desk intermittently for over 6 hours before I was told that the elevator was now usable (it seems that the elevator went to the basement and the door was left open and thus it would not move. A company like Marriot should have staff that "think" about the safety and well being of their guests as well as the potential co
