Pool dirty, with green algae and not heated. Breakfast poor. Cold. Or out of most items. I am surprised Marriot puts there name on this one

Great location missing breakfast essentials

Great location and front desk staff. The breakfast, however, lacked plates, eggs, and (a bit later) coffee. Other than that, a great start to the day.
