The room was clean, the staff were really nice. Parking is $30/night. The beds were ok, the pillows were not great but enough of them are in the room that you can stack them to your comfort. The worst part is the bathroom in the room. Its just moderately fogged glass that is on a slide, so you can see, hear and smell everything happening. Not a room to share with someone any less than your very best of friend. Fantastic location, very very easy to walk to every thing. -
Property was nice but rooms were not super clean. A lot of hair left in bathroom and in the bed. I average 50+ nights in Marriott rooms each year and this is the first time I’ve questioned if they change linens after checkout. -
I typically love this hotel but I did find it annoying that the hotel this weekend did not have any streaming services working. I come to the Marriott mainly for the nice rooms, which the rooms were very nice, as well as the streaming services. I wish we would possibly get a heads up prior to booking an appointment. I think next time I'll call in to make sure their streaming services are working prior to booking a room. -
Wouldn’t recommend, the shower situation is pretty abysmal and the room/halls had a persistent odor of urine/mildew. No room service available, not much entertainment options in terms of streaming either. Service was very poor—they are extremely well staffed so I’m not taking it personally. For much better value + experience, really recommend 21c Museum Hotel down the street. -
The hotel's services were fine, and I love the location as a native to the area, however the rooms were so horrible designed.
The bathrooms have a frosted sliding door that offers very little privacy and little noise reduction. The shower doors open on hinges and leak water everywhere, so the bathroom floor is a slipping hazard after every shower. The actual shower mechanism is poorly designed, where if you push the button for the hand-held shower head, you need to turn the whole shower off and on again to switch back.
And the main complaint are the elevators / lack of stair access. There is no access from the lobby to the rooms via stairs, you MUST use the elevators going up, which leads to long elevator lines when there's a lot of people here. There are stairs going down, but they exit an exit-only door to the outside. There needs to be guest access via stairs going up for this venue to host a large number of occupatants, which in being connected to a convention center, you would think is obvious.
Fix the stair situation and room bathrooms, and this would be a 4/5 stars.
