My first night there the water did not get warm from the sink or shower they gave me a corner room and my 2nd morning the water in shower didn’t get warm at all so I had to take a cold shower. I asked for a room change and I got it! The water was much better in temperature. The breakfast was okay only complaint really was the cereal was stail, and the milk tasted a bit weird maybe do the little cartons instead. And change the cereal out more often, I use to work in Marriott breakfast. The waffles tasted kinda nasty maybe get a new brand or get the waffle maker? But overall It was an average stay somewhat worth the price maybe should be cheaper. Customer service was good, as well as other stuff

The shampoo and body wash containers were empty. Just unfortunately dirty. The breakfast french toast had mold as well. Just overall not very good stay this time.
