Horrible staff and not worth the price
Pros:

Despite contacting the hotel roughly ten times across multiple staff members and departments, we received nothing but redirections and a complete refusal to take ownership of our lost item. When we visited in person at considerable inconvenience, we were passed from one person to the next, each claiming it was not their job. To make matters worse, the lost item website the Marriott call center directed us to did not even work for this hotel.

Beyond this ordeal, the breakfast staff were notably rude, and the rooms were poorly lit to the point of being uncomfortable. A deeply disappointing stay on every front.

Pros:

The staff in the restaurant were so attentive. The food was so delicious and arrived very quickly. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

The parking garage was a bit of a distance from the hotel, but that is to be expected downtown.

Pros:

Location and front desk

Cons:

No bathing gel, two shampoo and one conditioner, they clean every other day so if you don't know you drop towels on the floor and you don't have a replacement. You don't get coffee replacement as they come every other day. The valet guy was very rude.

Double charged with no restorations
Pros:

They gave us drink passes at 2am when we were leaving the next day at noon. They should have been breakfast passes. The bar wasn’t even open. Then when we went to have breakfast, the girl waitressing is talking so loud that the entire restaurant knew our business and that we had the wrong cards.

Overall lackluster experience for almost $300 and LESS THAN 12 hours in the hotel.

Cons:

I was charged by Booking.com and the hotel. Now neither one seems to want to own up and refund the prepayment. This hotel does NOT accept prepayment. Booking.com has always been my go to but they’re SCAMMING ME RIGHT NOW. Do NOT BOOK WITH THEM
