Falsely advertised room

The hotel room we booked is listed as 2 queen beds and a rollout sofa bed. Upon checking in we were told they don’t have rooms like this, that include the sofa bed. We only booked here because it was the only hotel in the area who had that option.

Horrible experience. I got locked out of my room & the receptionist held me and my children in the lobby at midnight for about 30 minutes refusing to let me in my room. To this day I’m still waiting on a call back from a “manager”

Loved the heated pool! Wish they had continental breakfast, the “restaurant” food was hotel food for high price. Also no microwave in the room is another way to sneak in extra costs, making you eat out.

The front desk people were delightful…professional and very nice. They did look like “guests” however and I do like the “staff” to “stand out”…it says “responsible”. Not uniforms but perhaps a color code…black, white, red?? Something that says Marriott….. This location should not require parking fee of $15!!!
