Excellent location nice hotel
Pros:

This hotel is in a good location and is very comfortable. The hotel restaurant/bar was very nice and we had a very enjoyable meal. We had a nice room and stayed 3 nights.

Cons:

Sadly our room was not cleaned on the last 2 nights which I can completely live with but our coffee facilities were not replenished and this is more annoying and a fundamental of a hotel stay.

OK except little value. No breakfast, no Marriott points, had to ask for room tidy up.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Booked through booking.com which is a mistake as I did not earn any Marriott Envoy points even after spending $2,000 for 3 nights. Holy cheap out.

Pros:

Very noisy hotel on a Main Street. Terrible food and service in the restaurant. They need a lesson in Customer service. From desk customer service rep Joanne, was the only positive encounter we had during our stay. Would not recommend.
