“Nice Place but with some Mechanical Issues”

Reading reviews of how this place is run down had me a little nervous. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. I'm not sure whether it's dated....I'm not a designer.

Reading reviews of how this place is run down had me a little nervous. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. I'm not sure whether it's dated....I'm not a designer. I have stayed in many Marriotts but not many hotels (usually a motel). This is a very large hotel with a huge main floor where the bar and restaurant are. I found the staff very nice. Plenty of parking. It's true the blacktop is beat up, but i don't consider this a huge deal. We had no time for the pool so didn't check that out.By far the biggest problem was broken elevators. Only one was working and with a Rainbow Girls convention it was jammed with long waits. I am concerned this elevator problem is seen in reviews going back about a year. Breakfast was very good. Room was clean and nice. Bathroom fine. Hot water was barely hot, but useable. I see other complaints about this. Seems like they need some help on mechanical maintenance. There is a Tesla Supercharger immediately next door in a Target parking lot. You can easily leave your car and walk back if you want. We have another reservation here in June, so I guess you can decide if we liked it or not.

“Better Options Nearby”

Stayed here for two nights with a team. Hotel was not my choice. It is a very standard 1970s style built Marriott. Old dark brick.

Stayed here for two nights with a team. Hotel was not my choice. It is a very standard 1970s style built Marriott. Old dark brick. Small rooms with extremely small bathrooms with old style shower curtains and no storage space/shelving. Bed was comfortable. TV was large with streaming services. Ample parking due to banquet venue rooms. If you need it for convenience, it will work. If you want an updated more modern style hotel, there are so many better options in the area. So many options right off the I-95 to choose from.

Upside: attentive and very pleasant front desk staff and housekeeping, except one older woman at the desk with a rude, I really don't want to be bothered to help you attitude. Beds are comfortable. Food in the restaurant is good yet limited menu and concierge lounge decent and staff pleasant. Public areas have appeared clean on the several times we stayed recently. Great location. Downside: needs updating or at least change the coverings on the chairs and couches in rooms. Driveway in poor condition, don't ask about parking or use their private lot to the left or they charge you. Large free parking to the right. Indoor pool is nice and warm yet the room and hallways are very cold. Also, the whole pool is used for swimming lessons for children late afternoon early evening. Had to wait until around 8 to use it, very inconvenient. The hot tub will not be reopened. The buffet, which is the same and included in the fee at other Marriotts is between $14.99 to $17.99 not worth it and not sure why the fee changes. Concierge level open limited and changing hours, should allow 24/7 access for water/soft drinks and coffee, especially early morning coffee. 3 elevators, yet usually only 1 working. Revolving door not working, trying to use assisted opening doors are very heavy and difficult to move luggage in or out. This is the one and only Marriott I have yet to receive any survey from. I always respond to the hotel first before public review. Not seeing responses from the hotel to reviews, wondering if there is a manager or do that actually not care because they are still getting money. Have stayed here on and off over a month due to location.
