Pros:

They were doing construction on the floor under mine the entire week which made staying in the room unbearable during their working hours late in the afternoon. My room smelled like paint

Pros:

It was fine, although when the sofabed was out there was no room to walk. Also the Expedia site says there is an oven in the room and there is not.

Turned ac off, make sure you lock it!
Pros:

The only negative review is that the a/c had a wireless control and the lobby person turned the ac off while we were sleeping. Not cool!

Great!!
Pros:

we came here after we were refused a stay down the street for being under 21. we just came from being on a cruise and just wanted a place to stay for one night before our flight the next afternoon. this hotel let us stay and staff was very friendly and made accommodations to let us stay. free pool, free breakfast and a spacious parking lot. rooms were huge and clean, and had soft bedding. very nice. my only complaint is that there was lots of noise coming from the construction upstairs but other than that is was a great stay.

Not what Marriott is supposed to be about. I had such good expectations.
Pros:

Now don't get me wrong ..there are some positives but I want to address the issues first.

Upon first glance this hotel seems to be a well presented building that boasts an enjoyable pool area/lounge area. The lobby is beautiful as well with nice decor and organized and modern aesthetics. Unfortunately once you reach your room, there is a smell. We had a hard time with the odor and the lovely lady at the desk gave us spray. It helped a little and she did mention changing rooms ...but that all the other rooms had a smell also due to humidity. We actually tried to stay out of the room and even went on nightly walks so we didn't have to smell the room. I hope they figure out their humidity issues with some form of a dehumidifier or however a large hotel such as this goes about those types of issues.

Cons: Smelly rooms and hallways due to humidity issues, so they say. It sort of smells like a high school locker room after someone forgets their swim trunks over spring break. The coffee area was nice.. but the coffee was usually cold. They said they would provide a call for breakfast and we never received the call. I went down to get breakfast before the time was over and was treated with rushed urgency to quickly select my breakfast options and get on with my morning. I was given grief for inquiring about a tray to use. I felt like my entire Marriott experience was not up to Marriott standards and poorly represented what this company is supposed to be about. The rooms are extremely outdated and dusty and dark. When you go to Florida, you would think it would be bright and sunny ...not dark and dusty. I wish we could have enjoyed our stay, and I wish we had used our money elsewhere. The lounge area outside did not have any propane so we couldn't even enjoy the outside area fully. The hotel needs major updates and humidity issues addressed. I feel like I threw money into the toilet and flushed it.

Pros: location, some staff are friendly, apartment/suite style rooms available with bedrooms, nice pool area.
