I took an extremely important package that needed to go out UPS tot he front desk and the person said he would make sure it went out that day (February 6th) and I just found out that it has never been given to UPS and is now costing me $1,000. I’m beyond livid at this facility.

Facts

Our trip was a lot of fun. The room cost $293 a night. Room 1500. Our room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful when needed. Don’t expect a lifted truck to fit in the parking garage. We ate at the poolside restaurant in the hotel. The food was great. We spent another $115. The Moody Center was still a little far to walk too, so we drove and spent another $40 on parking. Wife was wearing high heals. The coffee in the room was memorable and very good coffee. Checking out was easy.

Everyone at the hotel was amazing. My understanding is this used to be a different hotel chain, not part of the marriott family that it is now.There were issues in the room. Not big stuff, just little stuff, knobs falling off, the heater grate falling off. Just ittle stuff.

We loved the fun and unique design of this hotel, and the Morningbird cafe was delicious! However, the room temperature was uncomfortably warm, and adjusting the thermostat didn’t seem to change anything. No fan in the bathroom left the room even warmer and muggier after a shower. The ambiance in the room was a cool idea, but the vanity lighting was too dark and made getting ready difficult.
