Went above and beyond
Pros:

Stayed at property to get a break from cold Utah weather and hit the beach & Disneyland. This hotel was a great location to get to both of those! Karissa checked me in and helped me with all my questions (there were many) and 3 days later remembered I wanted to see a concert and gave me new info so I could go!
I was so appreciative of all her help it truly made my stay more memorable! I will be back

Overall it was a great stay, no serious complaints here just wish the overall presentation of the room matched the poctu
Pros:

I liked that the property had so many amenities to offer and was nearby to food and so many stores. Safe location, breakfast included and over the top customer service without a doubt.

Cons:

I did not like that the unit we had was both outdated and run down, the room was either not cleaned properly or sat for a while without being rented as I had to clean both bathtubs and they were extremely dirty before even showering there. If I hadn’t booked for a special occasion and had all activities lined up I may have reconsidered my stay due to the uncertainty of cleanliness throughout especially the carpeted areas. I also wasn’t aware that they have long term rentals which doesn’t make or break my stay but would have been nice if we weren’t in a room near the long term renters as I feel like the quality of our room reflects as such. I expected a more modern room with it being 2026 and I think that management should invest into their property a bit more if they expect travelers to want to return.

Did its duty of being a place to rest. Staff was sweet, slept peacefully, & location was great!
Pros:

It was close to the airport and all the locations of the events I flew in to attend.

Cons:

Having to find parking if the ones near our room was already taken. There were some trash from someones previous stay under the couch but nothing too crazy.

Not worth the price
Pros:

I was excited to have what looked like such a nice two level suite online but when we arrived, everything just felt dirty and kinda smelly. The carpet made my white socks dark grey, floor wasn’t vacuumed well, found a long black hair on the shampoo holder and more black hairs in sink and shower. My husband found a scrunchy Hendon the bedside table which means they didn’t clean very well. Found two Bobby pins on the hide a.bed mattress which was extremely i comfortable by the way. Kitchen table had a few little sticky things on it. The only good thing was that the regular beds were comfortable. My husband and I gave our king bed to our son and daughter and we took the queen bed upstairs since the hide a bed was too uncomfortable. Couch was also sagging in the middle. Railings and stairs outside the rooms were all very dirty. This place definitely needs renovating. Not to Marriott standards. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights but left after one. Staff was very friendly and nice about it though. It was a hassle to have to find another place but we did.

Pros:

Though the staff was friendly and professional, our room smelled like a very old apartment. No amount of cleaning could take the old smell out of it. It is long past due for an update.

Lovely place, but needs work
Pros:

The rooms smelled like burnt vegetables, and the beds shifted so loudly they could be heard from downstairs. Renovations are sorely needed. I came here as a kid, but as an adult, it's growing old and needs repairs.

Pros:

I had to buy Clorox wipes, small space air fresheners, and Pet Febreze fabric freshener because our room smelled like terrible wet dog. Which was a waste of money because I couldn't bring them home with me on the plane carry on or checked - so I had to toss them at the airport.
