Lots of additional charges that should just be built in such as parking and breakfast but the staff was friendly. The fuses in the bathroom also blew no matter if I had something plugged in or not, should probably check that out.

WiFi and tv was down our entire stay. No comps made due to their issue. The room was bland. The room I booked said city view; that view was of a side walk and another Marriott hotel; not the city. Staff was sweet and the bed and shower in the room was good. With no tv or internet for the whole stay one would think they would have offered comped parking (which was $40/day) or some kind of voucher for the inconvenience but nope.

10/10 It was my husband’s birthday and I wanted to give him a nice night out… and I can say that AC did that. Parking was easy… checking in was easy and smooth. When we entered our room we were in awe. The room was clean and neat and we loved it.. aesthetic is a 10/10. One of the things that stood out the most for us was the breakfast. Breakfast was not only affordable but it was nutritious and delicious… very delicious. I have to point out that my husband was not doing well during breakfast time and he was unable to come down and eat but the lovely staff helped me to pack a to go box so that I could take it to the room for him. I Will be visiting again AC and the next time I will be there for more than just a night.
