Every staff member we interact with was helpful and friendly. The staff at the Reel Bar was amazing. Shout out to Frankie at the bar. It was a busy weekend, but she handled it with class and professionalism. Front desk was great despite the crowds and busy weekend.

Bed was too soft and sank in the middle.

How do you book a room for 2 beds and you get 1 bed because they ran out?

Clean and conveniently located.

I booked a double and then at check in had no doubles available??! Gave us a King for 3 people. Then they said they would send a cot, never got that. Went back to reception and they said there were no cots available and finally at 4am they gave us a room with 2 beds.

The fitness center was quite good.

My room had some nasty toilet paper from previous guest pushed into the door peephole. Room feels a bit old.

Good location but terrible service

the location of the hotel is excellent, and a few staff members stood out for their kindness and professionalism. In particular, Javeyah, the housekeeping manager, went out of his way to help me—though it was just the evening before I checked out, his support was much appreciated. The restaurant staff was also consistently warm and attentive. Unfortunately, this level of service was the exception, not the rule—about 80% of the staff I interacted with seemed disengaged or indifferent. While I was eventually offered a $100 restaurant credit, I don’t stay at Marriott properties for perks—I stay for dependable service and to be treated with professionalism. In this case, that standard was not met. I tried to connect with their sales director on Linked-In but she did not respond. Nupur, the housekeeping manager, was also MIA. Requested her attention several times.

I originally booked this hotel for a Sunday–Wednesday stay using my Marriott Bonvoy account. Due to a flight change, I was arriving very early Sunday morning for a Monday conference. Anticipating early check-in might not be possible, I proactively booked an identical room for Saturday night—essentially paying for an extra night I wouldn’t fully use—just to ensure a seamless check-in. When I called on Saturday afternoon to confirm, the front desk representative (Shauna/Shana) was surprisingly unhelpful and dismissive. Despite explaining I had already booked and paid for the prior night, she kept repeating—without courtesy or nuance—that there was “no guarantee” I would get a room. Her tone was rude and robotic, which was unexpected, especially for a Gold Elite member. When I finally checked in, I was assigned a room on a lower, noisy floor next to the elevator—despite Marriott having my preferences on file. The hotel was clearly under-occupied at the time, so this was frustrating. Housekeeping was another issue. I had paid for daily service, yet my room was only cleaned once during my four-day stay. Each time I inquired, I was told the hotel was “understaffed”—which is unacceptable, especially during a professional conference. Finally, I ordered in-room dining (a service they advertise), but my food was never delivered. After waiting 90 minutes and calling to follow up, the manager herself eventually brought it—an hour after my follow-up call. The property itself is dated and in need of serious maintenance. Frankly, I’m disappointed our organization chose this hotel as a conference venue. Service and reliability were far below the Marriott standard I’ve come to expect.

Passable

my credit card was charged back in December when I booked the room then when I arrived I was told it was declined back in December never received an email from the hotel stating my card had been declined so ran my card again for my room but then when I checked out they said they would credit my cc because my card was never declined in December. but all in all it was a great time seeing AC/DC

Stay was good, but will never use booking.com again

After using booking.com to book rooms, when we had to cancel a room-- we are still waiting to hear whether the property would waive the cancellation fee. Also we were not aware that when you book through booking.com that the actual property cannot confirm details of room type and guest names assigned. For this reason, we will not use booking.com in the future. Trying to get in touch with a live agent at booking.com is nearly impossible.

Location to be able to connect with downtown and move easier to get to shops and restaurants.

Came in after checkin time and they did not have a room available for us to check into. We had to wait 45 minutes to get a room. If they are not going to have rooms available by 3 pm then don’t make check in time at 3pm. Also all the food places closed early. We came back from and event and the cafe was completely closed and we could only get food from the little store in the hotel lobby.

Overall was good but definitely was disappointed in the late check in and the dirty shower

Beautiful area, lobby was nice and clean, large areas to hang out in

Couldn’t check in until 4, didn’t even want to check and see if our room has been cleaned at that time. The shower wasn’t all that clean, for the price of $300/night I would have expected spotless, towels that had a weird bad scent. The a/c really wasn’t that strong

Beautiful, but confusing! (I still recommend)

Staff were very friendly and offered us a $40 off breakfast coupon for their restaurant, along with waters while we waited for check-in. Hotel is very sleek, comfortable, and central to everything downtown. Also had a wonderful view!

Navigating the property was fairly confusing- from parking, to actually locating the check in area. Also, at night most doors are closed- which was sort of a pain if we just needed to run outside to pick up food, or go to the car. Also, there is no vending machines on site, so make sure you bring drinks or buy some to store in your room ahead of time. Overall, I would stay here again!

The location and cleanliness of the property are unmatched!

The restaurants and bars on-site did not stay open long enough for all the patrons coming back from their events downtown looking for a bite to eat before bed. Everything closed at midnight, even though on the website it says they keep the kitchens open until 1am on the weekends.

For the price mediocre

Close to the venue we were attending a concert at.

I reserved a room with two queen beds and it said check in was at 3 we got to the hotel I was told check in was at 4 and they had no double rooms only rooms with king beds. Their were 3 of us I was told a comped rollaway bed would be in the room , I had to call to request the bed be brought up. The person who slept on the rollaway bed said it was very uncomfortable and I’m pretty sure my original room was more then the king bed room to which their was no price adjustment so technically the rollaway was not comped. The hallways were EXTREMELY HOT Very frustrating!

Nothing special, worked for what we needed it for, but overpriced

The room seemed very outdated and dingy. For the price, was definitely expecting a bit more of a wow factor. Instead, we walked in to see your average room... something we could have gotten for much less somewhere else.

Expensive and disappointing

The location and views, and the architecture

The room was small and the bed was uncomfortable. For that price, I would expect better blankets or extra blankets. Coffee was also stingy. Nothing was open in the property on the weekend which was strange to us. I just expected better for the money spent. It could be so much better.

Well, we booked about 6 rooms and 4 out of those 6 rooms that were originally assigned to us were very dirty (Beds were unmade, trash was everywhere, etc.) when we got into them.. They did however accommodate to the rooms that were dirty and give some money off and gave some money for them to go receive breakfast, along with getting upgraded rooms.
