Reviews
Every team member I encountered throughout my stay was professional, friendly, and genuinely focused on guest comfort. The entire facility was spotless, and the beds (including the pillows!) were incredibly comfortable with excellent support. The food was high quality, and both the indoor and outdoor common spaces were inviting and relaxing. Safe, connected parking and a secure, convenient location made it easy to come and go.
This is exactly why I stay loyal to Marriott—exceptional service, thoughtful details, and a reliably great experience.
The parking situation is awkward in that there's a Hertz co-located inside the parking area and the spots near the hotel entrance aren't available.
The one ding about it is that it is near an airport and you hear a lot of jet noise... at least when we were there.
If I'm in the area again, I'd probably do something else. Nothing spectacular about this hotel, but nothing terrible either.
