Great experience. I thanked my supervisor several times for finding it.
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay. The facility was quite nice and well-maintained. However, what really stood out was the staff's friendliness. Every single staff member greeted me with a smile and made sure my needs were being met.

Cons:

Overall, the facilities were exceptional for the price range. There was an issue with the elevator while we were there, but it was resolved the next day. A hot tub would have been nice.

Nice stay in Little Italy
Pros:

Much fancier than I was expecting and our room was fairly large. The bar in the lobby made excellent drinks. We also loved being in the middle of Little Italy.

Cons:

The elevators are super slow and the rooms didn’t have water cups.

Pros:

The neighbourhood is great, and the breakfast options are very nice.

Cons:

They dont inform apriori that room cleaning is once in two days, we were misguided about late checkouts too, the staff dont seem to follow a single protocol, one person says something in the evening and the other says something else the next morning, completely opposite. They should be briefed clearly about the rules and whether they can make exceptions. The staff at the breakfast service are slow and inattentive. A buffet option would have been nice in such cases!

Cons:

Booked a king and got two queens. Not a great way to earn loyalty from me. The overselling is a great excuse but in the rough market I’ll find a property that honors my booking.

Pros:

The reception staff are great and friendly, also the cleaners. It’s modern a rooms have good space. The atrium downstairs is beautiful and welcoming.

Cons:

Our room was very noisy, even with the windows closed, we would constantly hear the cars driving on the highway. Also the AC has a function that cannot be stopped, so you hear a constant noise, which at night can be very annoying, along with car noise.
The breakfast is not provided by Marriott, but it’s another restaurant, inside the venue. Very dissatisfied with the breakfast service and staff, very long waiting times even to get a coffee, but I would not penalise Marriott for them. Also you cannot have more items, just one main plate (egg or so) and if you want a fruit or a croissant for eg, you have to pay extra.
