Not worth the money I spent AT ALL!
Pros:

The property itself was nice at face value. The location is convenient and easily accessible, we did like that it was off by itself.

Cons:

Paid $414 for a 2 night stay.
1st night: the water slowly drained but it was so late we didn’t care to look into it.
2nd night: drain was so slow that after one person showered, the dirty water was above our feet- GROSS! We lifted the silver drain panel and the drain was completely full of hair and scum! (And not our hair either) it was clearly evident that this shower hadn’t been cleaned properly (the silver panel was just to hide the drain itself and give it a prettier appearance). It’s 11PM by this time so we let the water drain (took about 20 minutes) and then used toilet paper to clean it ourselves and finish our showers. Annoyed, but whatever. I planned to talk to staff before we left the next morning. Now it’s time to relax and lay down- try to turn the TV on and it doesn’t work either. Great. $414 for a dirty shower, and a tv that doesn’t work.
Breakfast: we decided after all the frustration to try the breakfast, and the food itself was good; staff was rude to everyone in the room and wouldn’t let anyone make their own waffles which seems a bit inconvenient when you have tables with children needing 5-6 waffles and the response they would get when they walked up is “what you want?” (Clearly a waffle since it’s the only station they would need assistance with). We initially tried to go the bagel route to avoid the waffle chaos but the toaster kept messing up with everyone in front of us and the only employee (the waffle maker) kept going back and fourth and fixing it (only for it to break with the next person) so that was annoying but we just went with it and finally sat and ate our breakfast, which again, was good.
I wanted to address these issues with the front desk as we left, but of course- I get there and there’s a sign saying they are away at this time.

I had messaged the property through booking.com and heard no response, now there isn’t any staff there to handle the issue/complaints.

Pleasant overnight stay
Pros:

My employer put me up overnight for a night here during the snowstorm so I’d be able to get to work the next morning. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. The staff when I came in was very kind and welcoming. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Had a little fridge. The tv had some streaming options I was able to log in and use. The biggest thing was the door lock was broken or something so the door didn’t completely lock and opened if you pulled on it hard enough. There was a free breakfast with lots of options. I was a little put off by the breakfast attendant who snapped at me when I went to make a waffle. I guess they make it for you which is fine - but there should be a sign or something if they want to do it this way. I’ve never been to a hotel breakfast where they make it for you so I didn’t know and so when I was snapped at for starting the process (especially since she wasn’t even over there when I started) I didn’t really appreciate that. So just know if you want a waffle they make it for you. Don’t make that mistake. Besides that the other staff was great. When I went to leave I was having car trouble due to the cold and one of the maintenance guys outside was super helpful in helping get my car started and getting me to work (which was the whole point in my staying at the hotel in the first place) so that was above and beyond. Overall it was a nice stay. I’m local to EC so I wouldn’t have much reason to stay again but I would recommend to others if you’re not from the area.

very lackluster stay. This was by far the WORST Marriott I’ve ever stayed at.
Pros:

I was hoping for a King size bed, the room looked dated, there weren’t any extra sheets either. Bed wasn’t comfortable at all

Cons:

Everything.

Would stay here again, but I'd be looking elsewhere for breakfast.
Cons:

Eggs for the continental breakfast were bland and tasteless. In fact, I'm not convinced they were even real eggs.

False description by booking or misrepresentation by the property? Each will blame the other. I won’t be using booking e
Pros:

Location and cleanliness were fine.

Cons:

I booked a king suite. I was supposed to have a king bed and a pull out couch. It was for myself, my husband, daughter and granddaughter. They gave us a room with only a king bed. No pull out couch. I ended up sleeping on the floor. Got little sleep and was very tired the next day.
