No Communication .
Pros:

When I checked in July 22, 2026. I was informed by the front desk that the air conditioning issue had been resolved. Upon entering my room, the temperature was 75°F. I went to the restaurant for dinner, and when I returned around 9:30 PM, the temperature had dropped to 73°F. Based on that improvement, I assumed the problem had been fixed.

Unfortunately, after going to bed around 10:30 PM, it became apparent that something was still wrong. I woke up at approximately 1:00 AM to find the room temperature had climbed back to 75°F. By 3:00 AM, it had risen to 77°F, and by 5:00 AM, it reached 78°F. As a result, it was a very uncomfortable night and extremely difficult to get any meaningful sleep.

My disappointment stems less from the air conditioning failure itself and more from the lack of communication that followed. At checkout, I provided my name and contact information to the front desk attendant, who was very courteous and helpful. I also sent a message through the Marriott app. However, I never received any response through either channel.

In my experience, Marriott is typically very responsive when issues arise during a guest's stay. Therefore, I was surprised and disappointed that there was no follow-up regarding a problem that significantly affected my comfort and ability to rest.

Very nice hotel, close to cruise ships
Pros:

My girlfriends and I stayed here the night before boarding our cruise ship to Bermuda. It is a very nice hotel. Rooms were clean and odor free. All employees I came in contact with spoke and smiled and were helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant. The menu has limited selections but we liked what we ordered. I had a chicken sandwich with fries. One had blackened fish and the other two salads and she crab soup. We ordered one cheesecake for all to share. They have a breakfast buffet for $20 but one of my friends did order ala carte of grits and bacon for $12. I did not personally have breakfast so I don’t know all items on buffet. The hotel was very busy. They do have valet parking which I would suggest being the parking area was small. I would definitely recommend since it was right down the street from the ships.

Great customer service above and beyond.
Pros:

Mr. Dermott… The valet service representative, here at the Sheraton Hotel was absolute blessing from start to finish! Mr. Dermott was always punctual, incredibly polite, and always had a smile on his face. I watched Mr. Dermott from a distance managed a high volume of cars with zero wait times and treated every guest with great care. With the limited amount of space the hotel have available for parking, I felt that I was in good hands with Mr. Dermott caring for my vehicle. Thanks for all your hard work Sir.
