Overall it was a good stay as it has been several other times.
Cons:

Lack of whole wheat items on breakfast. Public restroom toilet would not flush properly until I got under the hood. I notified the front desk on the issue. The shower doors do not fit together allowing water to build up on the bathroom floor.

Chose Mariott over the multiple hotels in the area for the amenities & newness- disappointed!
Pros:

Bed was comfy, breakfast was appreciated.

Cons:

Tv didn't work, partner took the remote to the front desk. He was told it was likely the batteries, but no batteries in the building. Then he realized it was a 'maintence remote' and the TV was down for some time. Why sell the room with no TV? The toilet had dried poop in the bowl. After several flushes it still didn't go away. We stayed one night, but chose not to take showers as we had concerns of the actual cleanliness of the entire room. The hotel was "full" or he would've given us another room (parking lot was empty) and a $25 credit was offered as that's all he could provide. Haven't seen that yet but would appreciate more.

Pleasant stay, would recommend.
Pros:

Friendly and competent staff.

Cons:

Breakfast didn't seem to be covered well. There seemed to be only one employee working there. Items were out, cold, the garbage cans were overflowing.

Too expensive and the bed was not comfortable.
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

I was there 2 nights and they never cleaned or made my bed after the first night. The sheets were terrible- they kept coming off of the bed because they didn’t fit right.

Horrible staff
Pros:

Our door wouldn't open and the TV was broke. Was told we could get $10 refund, we asked to be switched to another room. Was told despite being no where near full, they had no other rooms with working TV's. We canceled ask for a refund and left and went to another hotel. We are still attempting to get our refund....
