I've had better experiences off the interstate
Pros:

Far too many things that were absent I tried to send a complaint to Marriott but over the course of three days and it will never upload. Bar closed, restaurant serves double duty but had one person scheduled to serve in a holiday weekend. One ice machine working in the entire place yet no staff had correct info. No vending, no lobby store, registration desk actually closed for a period of time. Only Jalissa, and the valet people were kind and even the valet service I was overlooked for nearly an hour. This is THE WORST AND IT RUINED A HOLIDAY IS LOOKED FORWARD TO FOR A YEAR!!!

Cons:

Everything, room service wouldn't answer asking the other things already listed. I had to come back to list the dead bird that was in the smoking area ten feet from the front door and it was there at least my entire stay.

Top notch staff and location!
Pros:

Fantastic staff, service, and location! The hotel will be beautiful once renovations are complete. Great value for price.

Cons:

Hotel is under renovations so bar area has been moved to restaurant and restaurant wasn’t open for breakfast or lunch on certain days. There were fruit flies everywhere including our hotel room.
