Come on W, at this level of hotel, just offer free wifi and put a coffee maker in the room. Don't nickel and dime us making us become a points member just to get wifi. It's already expensive enough. Otherwise it's fine.

Nothing special
Stay was okay, staff put us in a queen room even though we booked a king. Went back down to the desk and they switched us out. We missed our dinner reservations because the ordeal took about 30 minutes. King room had some minor problems (paint peeling etc.). Pillows were horrible and hard to sleep on. Bed was comfortable though. Probably wouldn’t stay here again, but not bad for a 1 night stay.

I booked the property because some of the amenities in the past some of those amenities have been eliminated such as the selfie stick/photo booth it doesn't work anymore it's just sitting in the middle of the lobby the art as you walked in there was Art all over the ceiling, there is no more art on the ceiling. the business Center was down, and I could not get anybody to help me get a computer online the staff literally asked me to call tech support for them, and did but the tech support wanted Marriot staff code, and I couldn't find staff, again, so I could take some meetings because my laptop was dead seve

As a Marriot member I was so disappointed with my stay. I chose to book despite reading negative reviews we enjoy historic buildings. While the lobby is lovely, the historic details are worth exploring, and our rooms were actually actually quite sizable, our complaints include the absolute poor, downright rude front desk staff, and the cleanliness-our room had urine in the toilet when we arrived and despite reporting this is was never cleaned. The whole experience makes me question my loyalty programming
