Pros:

فريق العمل في الفندق رائع ومبتسم.
موقع الفندق رائع.
الخدمات قريبة جدا من الفندق.

Cons:

سكنت في الفندق لمدة 14 ليلة ولم يعجبني التالي:
1- في كم مرة اضع إشارة تنظيف الغرفة وللأسف أنه لم يتم تنظيف الغرفة كم مرة.
2- الهاوس كيبينج الاغلب لا يتحدثون الانجليزية فقط يتحدثون بالاسبانية.
3- فطور الفندق عادي جدا جدا جدا لا توجد خيارات كثيرة وللامانة ندمت اني وضعت الحجز شامل الافطار.
4- المواقف الخاصة بالفندق راح تدفع فيها 33 دولار لليلة.
5- لا يوجد أحد يساعدك في حمل الحقائب.

Okay stay with clean room and friendly staff.
Pros:

The size of the room, cleanliness, the staff was friendly and reliable.

Cons:

The room had a constant white noise. I guess previous customers reported and there is no way to fix it, because there were ear plugs and a note apologising about the noise in the room in a tin box. We only stayed 1 night so it wasn't an issue. But if I had one more night, I would have changed the room. It was room 214.

Never again
Pros:

Possibly the worst night in a hotel. Note to self - if there are earplugs in my next hotel room, go a check out and find another hotel. I’ve stayed near Times Square in NYC and this we a whole different noise. The room hummed like there was an electrical transformer in the closet. Low, dull and constant. The air conditioner sounded like there was a fire alarm going off in the building across the street and it was all topped off with the intermittent rattle of the condenser in the refrigerator cycling on and off.

If you still decide to book here, be sure you buy the parking when you book. There are only about 30 spots in the garage, otherwise your car is off in the street in the neighborhood behind the hotel.

Very basic hotel
Pros:

This was a cute, simple hotel - ZERO frills, but that's ok. Room was decent, but the only thing I didn't like was feeling very disconnect from personnel at the hotel. The rooms have NO phones, so I had to use my phone. Every time I called, it went to voicemail. Also, the TV, had no cable, so you had to go thru apps that I could not connect to. So if you just want a clean bed and shower, it's an OK spot.

worst Marriott ever
Pros:

worst Marriott hotel we have ever stayed in, room are not clean, air-condition was noisy in 2 rooms, water pressure is weak, and room has not been cleaned despite 2 remainders to the manager. No breakfast available, and the area is bad with not too many dinning options. we checked out the hotel after the second night and moved to a better hotel.
