Not bad

Hotel was clean, and the staff was very friendly. Our room was also clean, but the ceiling AC unit kept dripping water onto the floor in the kitchen. It was very annoying hearing water smack the floor every few seconds. Other than that, our stay was great.

Our stay was good. The rooms are clean and spacious. The only problem was the shower. Couldn’t shower first day because of no hot water. It was ice cold. The next day the shower started out hot then turned ice cold. Not fun experience trying to get shampoo and conditioner out with ice cold water then water turned scalding hot. Showers/ water requires attention.

At check-in we were not told that 2 hotels share the parking ramp and it makes a difference which entrance you use to attempt access to the hotel. After reloading the vehicle and moving it to the "correct" area, we were able to follow the winding path to our room. The room was clean and cool and comfortable. No internet access made the free Wi-Fi useless until Saturday AM. Showers were a completely random experience. No hot water for about the first 5-6 minutes Saturday morning, then numerous slugs of air from most of the faucets, AND then I got water warm enough to take a quick shower. My wife used it almost immediately after I did and she ran out of hot water. Sunday started out better, water much hotter much faster, but once again one quick shower was about all the hot water available. At check-out, no one asked how our stay was, or mentioned that there is problem with the infrastructure, or even asked which room we were checking out of. Not worth the cost and I will have think twice about the value of Marriott properties going forward.

Dirty. The vents were covered in dust, dirty toilet, old dirty silverware under the bed. The bed was like sleeping on a brick wall. The bathroom door was falling off the hinges and wouldn’t shut. The toilet paper roll holder was broken and the roll would fall off when we tried to use it.

Meh

I waited about 10 minutes at the front desk to check in because no one was at the front desk. Another guest even commented "they" were always gone. I tried calling an operator but it still only rang the hotel front desk. The only rooms available were the suites this weekend. There was no hot water, only fluctuations between cold and tepid water.
