When we first checked in, they gave us a really small room next to the restrooms. They were no way near the elevator, which was requested, our room smelled bad and mildewy because of the restrooms next door. We called the front desk, they eventually gave us a new room. It was a great room. We appreciated the move. I had a wonderful time spending time with my friend who has stage 4 cancer. I love this place.

The hotel sent an impersonal email 2 days before arrival and cancelled my reservation solely because it was made using a 3rd party to reserve a room. No explanation no reason other than i made the reservation using hotels.com and not Marriott Terrible customer service and personal skills from the hotel manager.

It's a very nice hotel although the game room isn't very guest friendly. The reason is because there's no change machine so make sure to bring quarters.

We had a great time as usual. The car show was fun. Breakfast was great. Have to say the only thing we didn't like was the cleaning carts blocking the hallway right outside our door when we were attempting to leave the hotel.
