Location was key, easy walk to harbor festival. Lobby was small & crowded not enough seating options to lounge & visit w/ friends & family. Dining options on site were weak, went across the street to the Hilton 2X during my weekend stay which had OUTSTANDING dining options.

We moved rooms (staff was nice about it) for cleanliness - first room had a water bottle still in it and dirt on the floor. Second room still looked dirty - turns out when a very nice cleaning staff member went back in it was nail polish on the floor and the counter. But it looked dirty. And frankly like blood on the floor by the toilet. Lots of wear & tear. It was convenient and in a nice walkable area but personally I’d say stay somewhere else.

Location was fantastic. Hotel was up to date. Service was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and accommodating—particularly the front desk and car valet team. I rate cleanliness low. We had to wipe down everything in the room to remove hair, dried food, and makeup from prior guests. The showers could benefit from tilex to remove mold and mildew. Thankfully we didn’t spend much time in the hotel.

Check in was fast and easy. I was also able to check in early. The room was a nice size and clean. We received one used roll of toilet tissue. When trying to get more…it took 2 hours. The hotel was updated a few years ago which is nice but they didn’t do a good job. Paint on wall paper. It looked rushed and messy. The fixtures are new but the room I was assigned did not have an update shower/tub so the rainfall shower head was causing the tub to fill up since the drain could not keep up with the water output. Very annoying. Parking sucks!!! It’s $20 or $33 for valet. I did neither. I parked overnight in the parking lot near by for $13. Very inconvenient but it’s downtown so I get it I guess. Only a few spots out front and 10 minutes to bring your luggage inside. Check out was quick and easy but the lady seemed too involved in her conversation to provide decent customer service. Seemed rush. I didn’t get a thank you for choosing Marriott or have a nice day. Don’t know if I’d stay again. It’s a maybe for me.
