We had to change rooms due to a hot water issue so were in a smaller room, but lower price. The maids did not do a good job of keeping up with the room e.g. replacing towels emptying wastebaskets, cleaning bathroom. I was surmised it got a 9 of 10.

Location was good . Unfortunately there were several issues that were not up to par regarding a Marriott stay . The water in the shower never got hot. I don’t understand how a hotel shower could not get hot water !! Unfortunately, this left us with cold showers . The air conditioner had a rattle / sound that took a while to get to sleep. Quite loud too, but the rattle was difficult to sleep through . The outlet kicked off the hair dryer repeatedly and did it on another outlet as well . While I understand wanting to turn over the room for another guest , we had housekeeping knock on the door at 9 am and again at 9:30am, making us feel rushed to get out . It seems there would be a better system . I usually do not leave reviews , as we understand things happen that are out of our control . However , I felt the need to review this time, as there were several issues .

Check in was good with polite and friendly Hostess. They would have received an excellent rating; however deadbolt on door did not work and bedding (sheets, comforter, pillow cases smelled like cigarette smoke. I notified front desk attendant and the bedding was changed to fresh clean bedding. The deadbolt remains broke (safety issue).
