I loved my stay here! Only downside was the hot tub was out of service, but it happens and means they work on improvement! Nicest staff, excellent breakfast. I will be back!

We stay here a lot for business. Hotel is going through construction so our floor you could hear work going on during the day. The newly renovated room is nice. I am sure once the entire hotel is completed it will be nice.

The elevators smelled like urine, and in the walkway of the hallways were extra furniture piles of bags of unwashed linens. The bed was not comfortable, and the pillows were flat.

Stayed 2 nights for pleasure. Except for long wait to check in due to computer down - the stay was pleasant. Surprise was $10 additional fees for car park which was not explicit during booking.

Breakfast staff were very friendly and proactive in asking for coffee to go cups and having your bill ready so you could get on with your day. Right side elevator had a bit of a funky smell that was the only negative to the overall experience.

Wonderful hotel, great location for my needs...which I why I stay here often when visiting the area. The renovations going on are necessary and will make the place even more appealing, but my visit (7/4-7/6/25) occurred right as the renovations were taking place. Highly recommend once renovations are done.

Waited 45 minutes for a shuttle pick up. Even after calling the desk multiple times and being told it’s 10 minutes away. Happened on 2 consecutive bookings now. Will put me off booking with this hotel again. It’s not what you want after a long international flight

The area around the property is great. Staff is good. Room was clean. The hotel corridors have a strong humidity odor that they seem to try to solve with dehumidifiers on the corridors that do not do a good job.

The lady who checked us in was very cordial and informative. She is the reason I gave the staff and services 5 stars. Everything else was just, meh. The toilet had streaks all in it when we walked in. So that tainted everything and made us feel like everything was dirty from the beginning. We just weren’t comfortable and couldn’t wait to leave.

Literal roach motel. The staff was sweet and apologetic, but I got a room on the first floor close to the kitchen and found a roach in the room. I asked for a new room as far away as possible and was given one on the 6th floor, but immediately found another roach behind the bathroom door. Again, the staff was mortified and did what they could, but I moved hotels.

the elevator smelled of urine, visible handprints on wooden bathroom door. Food from the previous guest was still on the floor along with toenail clippings. Trash was piled up outside of doors from Saturday until we checked out Sunday. At this day in time, I’m just lucky there weren’t bugs.

Only an overnight stay but it was a good one. Check in was fast and easy. The clerk was courteous and provided excellent customer service. Our room was cozy and clean. There were more than enough towels for the 3 of us. The shower liner did have some mildew buildup on it.

Everything about this hotel was absolutely perfect! We will come here several times a year after this experience. The room was clean and beautiful, had every convenience we could want and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfectly comfortable and peaceful. The beds were amazing. My mother was here for treatment at Duke and we come several times a year from Florida. The room had plenty of space for her wheelchair which is tough to find sometimes in a hotel. The tub had a flip down bench and it was perfectly equipped for a relaxing shower. The breakfast was awesome and there was nothing that could have made our stay better. Every person that worked here was super nice and professional. We are very grateful

We had a long day of moving out of my home in the area, we checked into our stay late (at 12am), upon getting to sleep, multiple members of staff knocked on my room door a total of 7 different occasions, between 8am-12pm(check-out). Between maintenance and house keeping, I was disturbed multiple times, I told both to come back at check out, but I was continuously woken up by incessant knocking at the door.

Service was less than accommodating. Called down to the front desk to see if there were any luggage carts on the 4th floor where I was staying. They didn't even offer to send one up. from now on I will only stay at Hilton hotels - their service is head and shoulders above Marriott.
