One cannot park on the property unless you are willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money for valet parking. So they do not cater to everyone. I was also charged extra money for a ‘destination fee’, which was not explained upon booking. I think it’s ridiculous that these hotels charge whatever they want because they can. At least the staff is friendly and helpful.

Had to pay $15.00 per day for parking. This should be included due to the pricing of the hotel.

I was here for a fitness competition. The only thing I didn't like was that there weren't any microwaves in the rooms, even though when I called, I was told there would be. As a fitness competitor we are on strict diets and as a host hotel, I would think they would have been more accommodating.

LOVED the korres products, it is my favorite brand to use so knowing my shower products are that definitely made me feel special. Everything about this hotel was great, but one suggestion: please change the desk chairs in the room. The person upstairs from us was moving the chair every 2 minutes and it is INCREDIBLY loud and woke me up. If it went on longer than 30 minutes I was going to go complain but they finally stopped. Even just a soft chair cover on the legs would be a game changer.

It's an interesting place. Very sleek and minimalistic styling, which won't be for everyone. If you wanted to describe the public spaces as dark and grey, you wouldn't be totally inaccurate. It's quite stylish, just in a very narrow niche of taste. Rooms are spacious and comfy. Great showers. Very good lighting and responsive a/c, though a bit loud. LVP flooring, which is cleaner than carpet, tho I must admit I still like carpet. Very nice fitness room with everything you'd want. Very friendly and courteous staff which you'd expect from a Marriott brand. Give it a try, just know what you're buying

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The first time I had a broken shower door handle. This time the person staying above me kept walking so hard and making so much noise I felt like I was in my old apartment in DC. It went on all day and night. I didn’t get any sleep. If I’ve known the walls were this thin, I would consider other options. Yes, I did contact the front desk about the noise and it didn’t accomplish anything. Overall the hotel is nice.

Bathroom was inoperable and Hotels.com and the hotel refused to compensate for the inconvenience of the bathroom not being available to use in the room during our 1 night stay. BTW, the hotel was $355/night.

Nice modern hotel. Nice location downtown. Very clean and spacious rooms. It would be nice to have hot food for breakfast. It was only meats, cheeses, pastries and yogurt, all of which is extra. I don’t mind paying for breakfast but wish it would have been hot. And there is no covered patio where you check in. In the rain you’re going to get wet. Overall it was very nice.
