This location was such a disappointment. The toilet seat looked like it was 30 years old. The bathtub had stains! And the carpet looked like it had not been cleaned. I had to put towels on the floor from my bed to the shower. Never again. I love the Marriott brand but avoid this location.

Fabulous staff and beautiful hotel. I had a mix-up with my reservation (my fault) and the hotel was gracious and accommodating. Nothing had gone right that day except their understanding and working with me to resolve quickly and easily.

Overall, my stay was fine. However, one major issue was regarding the shower. The water temperature would fluctuate, and not consistently stay hot. There were multiple times when I had to stand under the cold water. So that was pretty uncomfortable.
