I was very impressed with all of the employees; Ms Minnie at the desk, Latia in the kitchen. Could not ask for more personable, helpful and friendly people to represent Marriott!

This is a very clean, nice hotel. The Capet down the hallway is very nice. They have a business area with computers on ground floor with bar. Many outlets everywhere. No fans in the ceiling but the AC works really well. If you have a suite there is AC in every room along with TV, microwave, small refrigerator.

Excellent place to stay esp. if doing something at USC. Has free shuttle within 3 Mike radius, nice pool & fitness, excellent food & drinks (a little on the expensive side) & awesome staff. Seems newly renovated. Will stay there again. Thanks!!

The parking garage has a relatively low clearance for large sized trucks. I didn't risk entering it (along with a couple of others) and opt to park around the back which was a little inconvenient. The room was as advertised. No smells, spacious, new looking, comfortable. The price charged was commensurate with the room and amenities.

Easy check in and check out. Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff very polite and helpful. Complimentary breakfast ticket was provided for limited items, and extra items to purchase in their mini market.
Parking garage is tight, but SUVs can even fit. Recommend pulling all the way thru parking spots though so you don’t have to reverse to exit.

Check in was great. Wish I would have been informed that the hotel charges 10.00 to park in garage on site. Someone used my card and charged for some food from the bar that was not me. Other than that hotel was very clean

Great front desk service. Parking, not so great for big vehicles and if I would have known, we would have taken a different car.
Room was clean but the outlets need an upgrade (old and dirty).

Cleanliness is ok but housekeeping knocking on the door at 8 o’clock asking for cleaning time. There is no body lotion provided. Area around the hotel is great. It’s walkable to downtown, Main Street and city Hall.

Hotel and staff were wonderful . Spotless. Comfortable.
However parking garage was extremely difficult to navigate. Spaces narrow, large posts made turning almost impossible. Not only hard to park, hard to turn vehicles to get out. Can’t imagine if i had a larger than normal vehicle. If they could access nearby lots would really help.

My oldest daughter and I made reservations a month in advance. We reserved a room with 2 queen beds. However, when we arrived we were asked if we would be okay with a king bed. I politely said no as we had booked a room with 2 queen beds. I was then told that there were no more queen suites available because the hotel had overbooked. Now, please explain to me how you can overbook the rooms when I reserved this room a month in advance! If you know that your hotel only has a specific amount of queen suites, then you should only book that amount. My daughter and I arrived at the time of check in, so there was no reason for us not to have our room. We also stood at the desk waiting for 10 minutes to check in while the other hotel clerk was on the phone. She never even acknowledged us. Finally another employee came up and asked if she could help us.
On a positive note, the room we were given, though very small, was exceptionally clean and we were offered a free snack from the hotel snack bar for our inconvenience.
Would I stay here again, sadly no. Out of the three hotel employees that I made contact with, only one of them was courteous and attentive. I travel quite often and was very disappointed with my experience at this hotel.
