Food availability after 7 pm was poor. Items we received were bland at best. We requested food for our room and we had to pick it up at front desk. It was cold and incomplete requiring a second trip to front desk. Not much thought or effort put into menu or preparation. You can do better Marriott!

The room was clean. Staff was friendly and efficient. Would stay there again. The Silk Road restaurant was a good option - the food was good and the service was quite good as well.

Horrible service; BISTRO was rarely staffed and they NEVER had the food on the menu. They couldn’t make a coffee to save their life and putting a Starbucks nabe on it is completely disingenuous.

Unacceptable room conditions

My room had no hot water in the shower. And the room smelled like a sewer. I reported it and they said thank you for letting us know. The problems still existed to the time that I checked out.

Unprofessional

My stay started rocky and quickly declined. When I arrived, I stood at the counter for 10 minutes while the receptionist sat in the office on her cell phone. I later found out she was the supervisor, who also had a guest inside of the office after 10 PM. When I checked out they double charged me incidentals and never informed me that the parking had a fee. When I called to find out about the charges, the receptionist was very rude and unprofessional, even cutting me off midsentence. Terrible experience and I will be telling everyone I know not to stay here. Completely unacceptable.

My disappointments with the property were the beds, which were uncomfortable, and the water pressure for the shower was very weak. This property still has tubs, which makes it cumbersome to get into and leads to leaking of the shower onto the bathroom floor. These are the two most important features for me in hotel rooms. I don't believe I will be returning to this property
