Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very accommodating, however, my TV didn’t work in the assigned room. I was immediately given another room, but it sounded as though the picture tube was going out on that TV as well. Also, the bathroom counter had crumbs/debris on it- it had not been wiped down. I didn’t complain, but it made me reconsider future stays at a Marriot property.
