Housekeeper Is the Best!!
The check in process took about 15 minutes (there was a line since it was the Friday before Thanksgiving and location is near the college football stadium.) They were polite, punctual, and very through with explaining the amenities and how to get to our rooms. We came for the night for the Shaboozey/Ernest/Jelly Roll concert as a family of 6. Both our rooms were clean, well stocked, and comforting. The best part of the whole stay on the property was the house keeper!!! We were on the fourth floor and as soon as she saw us walking into our rooms, she greeted us, let us know her title, as well as extending the offer of help if we needed anything at all to let her know. She truly made the stay that much better just by making sure we knew she was there for whatever we may need. We made sure to leave her a wonderful tip and little note. We appreciate her, and the rest of the staff, for her wonderful hospitality and wish them the best with their futures! Will definitely recommend them and stay anytime we’re back in the area!

Lazy staff and poor conditions/amenities. Our room wasn’t ready at 5:30pm (2.5 hours after check in) bc the staff didn’t update the room cleaning in their computer system. The next morning around 7am, we were woken up by not one but two fire alarms bc the kitchen staff burned food. On the second morning, there was no hot water. Multiple people called the front desk and were told that there was nothing wrong with the water, and the reason why there was none is because the hotel was at full capacity and it was too many people showering at once. I’ll never stay at this low rate hotel again. Marriott has gone down hill anyway.

Everything was great except the location of the hotel. We had a room by the busy road and it was very loud. We were offered a noise machine but still it was hard to sleep.

Some things were great and other not so much. The hotel appeared clean except for Ceiling in lobby appears very worn with possible water damage/mold and the carpets were so dirty in the hallways. breakfast was lacking. No fresh fruit and the waffle maker was not working. The overall selection was very limited. Coffee ran out.
