Hotel in need of some renovation. Room tired with re-tiling, specifically, needed in the bathroom. Sheets for the sofa bed were stained. We found some old cheerios under the mattress of the sofa bed. Surface light didn’t work on the microwave.
Automatic front door wasn’t working when we checked in but was fixed by the next morning. We were not offered a parking pass when we checked in but luckily noticed the “tow away” signs in the parking areas.
A down-trodden man was sitting in his wheelchair by the back entrance smoking, leading us to suspect that Marriott is using some of the rooms at this property for transitional housing, a trend in hotels we have noticed in the past three years.
On the plus side - hotel is in an excellent location in the Cultural District, just across from a beautiful park. The breakfast was surprisingly good. Buffet area was clean, food was decent, and the breakfast area was full of light. Hotel staff were nice and breakfast staff were working very hard to keep the breakfast area well stocked and tidy.
Given that the total cost of one night was nearly $600, including a $100 pet fee, we expected excellence well above what this property delivered.
