I read the reviews prior to booking, and they were correct about the rooms and property being clean. The staff member who was working the evening shift was extremely helpful at the same time overwhelmed as the only employee working the desk and managing the hotel. With all that said, we were originally given a room at the end of the hall next to a door that opened to an outdoor staircase. The door was constantly opening and closing so people staying at the hotel could go out there and smoke pot. We were in our room 10 minutes at the most, and the smell was seeping into our room. The room across from us sounded like they were having a party. Yelling, music blasting. It was ridiculous at 11 pm. Thankfully the employee at the desk was able to move us to another room without question, and he said he would deal with the noisy room. Even with the move, we could still smell pot through our door, and I’m pretty sure it was coming from some nearby rooms. The halls were noisy into the early hours of the morning with kids running up and down and people talking loud. I was woken up at 6:30 am to the smell of weed again. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel wanting to get out as soon as possible. I will never stay at this hotel again and would not recommend it. For it to be part of Marriott, I would have expected more. The evening shift employee who was working on 3.28.26 deserves the biggest bonus you can give him and a raise!

I usually do not do a rating unless things are wonderful or horrible. The front desk staff was beyond amazing!! Shenice was so helpful to the guests that I had staying there during this winter storm. I truly do not know what I would have done without her!!

The facility and room were very clean and fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was better than most others that we’ve experienced. It was perfect for an overnight close to the airport.

It was a standard 3 star experience. Rooms were clean enough, breakfast was included which is nice. Staff could be a little more attentive.. we waited several minutes at the desk to check in at 3PM. $100 deposit seems a bit high compared to other, nicer hotels
