We had to switch rooms 3X within 30 minutes. The floor smelled. The carpet was wet in both rooms. They acted like they weren’t aware of this. Then as I waited for my 3rd room I heard another lady complaining about her room. This hotel is definitely not to Marriott standards. I have stayed at plenty and have all been really nice.

The hotel exterior and amenities are nice but not too impressed with the room. The sink would not drain. The tub drain was broken so we could not give our todler a proper bath. One of the TVs would not work. The room smelled damp. Also, i booked on expedia and there was no mention of parking fee. The hotel surprised me with extra charge to park personal vehicle.
