One of the tv in the suite didn’t work. I didn’t like the charged my card an extra 200 for a deposit and was not a hold ! Considering it’s we all paid before. The rooms had an old misty smell to it! On bother suits I reserved. Will book at my regular hotels with Marriott’s from now on. Thought would give them a try big mistake.
