I chose this hotel based upon it having a hot tub as described, and it was sealed off. The pool was extremely small, so I never used it. In addition, I thought a microwave and couch were supposed to be in my room, and they were missing. The coffee machine in the room was not clean, and I did not use it either. It was a comfortable stay, but I was slightly disappointed.

The room wasn't properly cleaned, and the TV kept shutting off and on. The pool wasn't able to be used and we booked because they advertised an indoor pool.

The new property is run down for a Courtyard. Pillows are very lumpy in the beds. Ice makers did not work Picked it for the outside fire table to sit out and relax at and staff didn’t know and wouldn’t try to light it so disappointed - do not recommend.

Disappointing Stay – Poor Customer Service I booked this hotel mainly because it advertised a pool, but when I checked in, I was told it was closed. There was no prior notice, yet I was still charged the full rate. I asked the manager for some kind of compensation, but both he and the front desk staff were rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. There was no empathy, no solution offered, and no respect for the customer. It's shocking that a hotel under the Marriott name has such unprofessional staff and no backup plan for situations like this. Terrible customer service – I absolutely do not recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very clean and the common areas are nicely designed. There is plenty of access to computers in the lobby. The staff is very friendly. The cafe had good choices and friendly, helpful servers. Parking is plentiful and convenient. The hotel is convenient to main roads, the I-290, and the airport. It is not a walkable neighborhood. My room was showing signs of wear - scratched furniture, stained carpet. It was nicely designed and comfortable.

The room was rather filthy. The toilet had "Brown" on the toilet seat, there were flies and lady bugs in the room and ants in the bathroom. Should have worn shower shoes as the bottom of the tub was slimy. We would have asked to move but we were so exhausted, and the beds seemed clean. We told the front desk at check out, but overall rooms need a lot of work. Wallpaper was peeling off the walls.

We were received very nice. We were placed on the 4th floor due to a party they had coming in for the night. Very courtious. Then the next night they put a loud family next to us sith talking adults in the hallway and kids running up and down yelling to each other. Then the door to the room, across the hall was opened and closed 7 times simultaneously in the next 5 minutes. I spke to the desk lady the next morning and she would make a note, since we were staying for 5 nights. That very next night the was loud adults across the room. Hard to sleep. I do not understand when I know the 4th floor is not full of guests that people couldn't be placed at the other end of the hall. I stay at your motel twice a year March and July both for 5 days.

Really when to you want to talk to technical support for a connection. after goofing around with it for 30 mijnutes I finally connected...bad part is not sure why. I did adjust setting on security on my computer...but nothing significant at least I thought.

After the first night I looked at my account to make sure the charges were right and there are about $1000 in extra charges. 3 charges for $300 1 charge for $1 and 1 charge for $150. The manager said that the person who checked us in messed up and that they are only holds but that hold doesn't let me use the money for things I planned to do on the trip. So driving 7.5 hours to come have some fun ended up being driving 7.5 hours to stay in a hotel and go home.

Not even a complementary coffee, my wife didn't want to use the coffe maker becouse it had dust inside, we went downstairs and had to pay for a cap of coffee and water. No breakfast neither unless you pay for what you consumed. Other. Heaper hotels around offers at least a capbof coffe on the lobby, others offer continental breakfast.
