Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very disappointed
The room was handicap access corner room and I did not select that when I paid more for a corner city view room. The blinds will not close and all the city lights are in my eyes and I am unable to sleep. Mold around the sink. I asked for a different room but the hotel was booked and so It is 4:30 am in the morning awake. I am a Marriott Bonvoy member as well. So very disappointed. The only positive was the bartender and the customer service with drinks and food.
