Ear plugs, please

Superbly clean, but outdoor noise from traffic and sirens made rest pretty much a dream. Everything within the hotel's purview was excellent though, even soft music in the parking deck. One tidbit of advice though. Male workers shouldn't enter the hotel gym if a solo woman is in there exercising. It should be treated almost like a female restroom.

Need a average wheelchair not an adult stroller.

My husband had surgery. We stayed to make sure he was good before traveling home. When I asked for a wheelchair to take my husband in, the wheelchair was an adult stroller. It was not even an average size wheelchair. This is an issue for any one over 200 lbs! He had to walk on a walker with oxygen and a catheter bag down a long hall to the elevator and then down another long hall to the room. Everything esle with our stay was good.

The gentleman working in the breakfast area was delightful! The fan in the room started rattling at 3 am. I was able to turn it off but it did disturb my sleep. The front desk was apologetic at check out and made a note to get it repaired.

I thought the room was very nice, and the bathroom, but a bare minimum of bathroom amenities. Refillable bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body was in shower is fine of course, but one tiny little bar of cheap soap? No lotion, no shower cap. Geez. There was a sign about reaching out if you needed something. There was one coffee creamer/sugar packet. C’mon. So, not huge criticism but not what I usually expect from Marriott. I would stay again because it was clean, comfortable, and convenient, the most important things.
