We stayed on the East side of the hotel on the 6th floor 6-8 Feb, 2025. The noise from racing street cars on Congress St on the weekend were disturbing till 2am. I Talked to Chris at the Lobby desk the next morning Saturday, he understood my concerns said he would have us moved while we were away for the day. When we returned 4pm that evening nothing had been done, so Dylan found us a new room 9th floor facing West which muffled the street noise. Dylan personally moved us. The limited menu in the restaurant was a disappointment and the evening service at 5 pm was slow for the few customers. I returned my Roasted Poblano plate for it was inedible. The cost was removed from the bill, no apologies. I found the staff wonderful until Chris did nothing after promising to take care of us. I believe name Jennifer or Natalie insured us that Internet charges would be removed from our bill since I was a Bonvoy Member, she did great. Kudos to Dylan. We went there for fine dining and peace and quiet, we received neither

TV didn't work... missed the end of the world series game. Fridge didn't work, 3 days without replacing tissue paper even though the empty box was displayed prominently. Power outage, and nobody could explain. No coffee downstairs, no coffee cups downstairs. Service at the hotel bar was almost nonexistent. Paid a lot of money to enjoy a supposedly high end downtown hotel and was thoroughly disappointed.

The hotel’s location was great, and it honored requests for early check-in and late check-out. However, the cleanliness of the room was a major issue. Upon arrival, there was trash on the floor, including an old used band-aid, and the carpet had visible stains, one of which looked like oatmeal rubbed into the fibers. The sconce bulb was out but was fixed after contacting guest services, and the bathroom sink, which was leaking, was repaired after another call to guest services the next day. I was informed the bar was closed midday due to staffing shortages, and on the final day, there was no hot water for a shower. The staff was cordial but seemed disengaged, offering no extra effort, and Marriott status went unacknowledged. Despite high ratings on Bonvoy Marriott and Expedia, my family’s experience fell far short of expectations. The aesthetics and decor didn’t match the service we received.

Overall, I was very happy with my stay. The hotel is well-kept. We ate at the restaurant. I had the airline chicken and my son had the risotto. Both dishes were good but extremely salty. The dishes had nice flavor, so not sure why the chef relies on salt so much. The room was nice—some road noise from the street. I would stay there again, but I would not eat at the restaurant.
