Not customer friendly, poor way to check in. Cafe employee gave us the wrong information regarding closing hours for dining. Ordered take out , front desk receive it and did not call us to pickup food, we waiting , but had to check and call the desk . At check out carts for your suit case are located in the basement parking area not in the lobby, unheard of this before. I have been a marriott member for over 30 year, this is the only time that I've been very unhappy with the services John Danelon

Sub par

I’ve stayed here before, it’s not the same. Service has gone down, they don’t adhere to the hours for the cafe or restaurant and close early. They ran out of parking which is a big reason we stay here. It’s only a five minute walk to the beach boardwalk. Spent 1+ hour to look for parking but being a busy weekend and so close to the boardwalk it was difficult. Had to go back and move our car later on to avoid being towed. Come to find out the hotel sells there parking on Groupon which is so shady. They can’t guarantee paying hotel guests parking (which they charge $30 per day for) because they rather sell it Groupon. What a joke.

This Marriot doesnt fit with the Marriot brand at all. I have always had exceptional service with Marriot. The employees at this location are zombies that hate their jobs except for the Manager. I will never stay here again.
