Despite advertising Covid cleanliness, when we arrived we found clothing in our room from a p[revious guest, the backroom air intake was caked in dust and dirt, and the door and counter trim had dirt on them. It was also a very noisy room, both due to a cheap and noisy in-room fridge and be being able to hear any noise in the hall. Very disappointed this carries the Marriott label.

Pool was closed. No bathtubs in bathroom. Small bathroom. Parking is not great. Valet is expensive, but fortunately there is an affordable public ramp not far away. Lots of noisy traffic going by all the time -- Harleys, pickup trucks, people racing each other. Keycard system in elevator and at doors was somewhat hard to use. When it would work, the lights would flash green and red at the same time. Doesn't make sense. Lots of people not wearing masks in spite of the posted requirement.
