Amazing!
Pros:

I can’t fault this property, the location is amazing, especially if you love planes like me! Right by Little Italy, very close to a metro stop and the staff were amazing!

Cons:

The location can be a little sketchy of a night, but other than than that it’s perfect!

It was an excellent hotel to stay at. Loved that there was a refrigerator and microwave in the room
Pros:

We had one dinner and two breakfasts in the hotel restaurant. Excellent food and excellent service !!!

Cons:

I sat in the orange chair by the window in my room. I needed a small table by the chair where I could put my food . Other than that, everything was wonderful !!!

Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
Pros:

The property itself is surrounded by main attractions! On Saturday Little Italy had their market right next to the hotel! Everything is in close proximity which was a pleasant surprise.

Cons:

I will comment about their parking situation. You’ll find that exiting or entering the driveway it’s very narrow.

Rundum schönes Hotel mit guter Lage und einem wirklich guten Fitnessstudio
Pros:

Beim Frühstück hat super nettes Personal gearbeitet. Es gab à la carte Frühstück, man konnte sich von 6-7 Optionen eines auswählen, dazu gab es noch ein Getränk frei dazu. Alles weitere (Toppings, sides oder ein 2. Getränk) muss dann bezahlt werden.
Die Qualität des Frühstücks war wirklich sehr gut und man wird auch bei der richtigen Auswahl satt 😁
Ein großes Lob geht wie schon gesagt an das nette Personal dort raus.

Cons:

Rundum war alles super. Gerne größere Poolhandtücher

Walk straight out of the hotel to the market. Great food, great live entertainment.The staff were excellent very courteous and very happy. The bartender was so nice , I can’t remember his name but loves what he does and makes every drink with love.

Buyer beware - Good and not so good!
Pros:

The good… location is great for Little Italy, steps from great dining. Hotel gym is modern, 2 Peloton bikes and great for a decent hotel workout. Pool deck is nice.
The not so good.. Do not book here expecting “full service”. Day 2 I left my room at 1230 and stopped at desk to “be sure” my room was serviced. Returned at 430, no one had serviced room. Attempted to call 3 times and no answer, after finally getting a staff member I am told “we do not clean daily. Only every 2 days…" this was shocking to me. I was assured this is “Marriott policy and acceptable” I am not paying for an airbnb or a youth hostel, this shocked me as a loyal Marriott member. Now, after a discussion with a manager my room was serviced, but the fact this is not normal is beyond me. I see no mention of this on their site, and was not advised at check in. Do not book a room with city view, noise from freeway is crazy. There is even a white noise machine in room, I assume for this reason. It is loud from freeway, traffic and planes. Last day, 430am only luke warm water! All in all, too many minus for me to want to return sadly.
