This hotel need to be upgraded. There is no microwave in the rooms, the rooms smell like old soap water, and no continental breakfast. This is not the standard of any other Marriott I ever stayed in!!!!

This Marriott is one of the best in the area. Very clean and great service. Close to many restaurants and bars which can all be walked. Beds are super comfortable and the shower has great pressure and hot!

Not worth the $250 price at all, outdated and basic rooms, no amenities (no pool or hot tub), no on site parking must valet, no wifi unless you are a Marriott member, no continental breakfast unless you are a platinum number. With taxes and parking the room is over $300 a night. Which would be fine if they provided service and amenities that matched. Hallways smell like old ashtrays.

Stayed here for a night in March. The hotel needed cleaning and updating, but the location was good for our purpose. One star because at ~midnight, someone started banging on my door. It startled me awake and I looked out the peep hole. There was someone, who appeared to work there (but I wasn't sure) still banging on the door and talking in Spanish over a walkie-talkie saying my room number but I'm unsure what else was being said. I called the hotel from my cell, where I was placed on hold for a while then spoke to the front desk. I told her someone was banging on my door, asked what it was about. She said, "Oh sorry, security must have the wrong room.". That was it. I was still startled, and the banging on the door was so aggressive I felt like I couldn't go back to sleep, worried they'd just come in or something. I didn't get any sleep. I reached out to Marriott, didn't hear back for a while and then they gave me a very small Bonvoy point credit. This was a $450 stay for one night. Unacceptable. I know this was a random scenario, but given the way it was handled and the incompetence of the staff, I would never go back and would never recommend this place.
