Wonderful just not next to the elevator

Stayed because it was very close to Stanford hospital. I checked in late got settled in my bed to find the loudest noise ever that went off constantly. When I called the front desk they informed me it was the elevator and that was it. When checking out I informed the manager that the room should not be occupied and after letting her listen to several videos she gave me 50% off my room and was very apologetic. Other then the elevator the hotel was wonder, very clean, comfortable bed and close to the hospital.

Property is a Construction Zone right now

Property undergoing major construction - not informed in advance. Front entrance, lobby and hallways are in shambles. The tile around the pool is removed. Elevators out of order, ice machine on our floor out of order, construction started @ 10 AM New Year’s Day. We were there for a local late night NYE party and morning quiet respite. Could not comfortably sleep in. Room was clean and as expected. Employee @ front desk took forever to check us in, very polite and chatty - but his colleague checked in 4 guests while he assisted us. Unsolicited he was repeatedly disparaging of Union members - not knowing anything about us. Not cool. Not a pleasant stay for a Bonvoy Elite member with hundreds of nights on Marriott properties - first critical review ever left - very disappointed.

Can’t trust the staff

Had a microwave sent to the room while we were out to dinner on our first night and returned to find medication and clothing was stolen. An incident and police report were filed and the hotel did what they could to rectify the situation but since we were staying at the hospital that week we didn’t feel as if our belongings were secured. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful and accommodating after I had surgery but the security of our room is such an issue that we probably will not be returning which is a shame because it’s centrally located to the hospital and a clean property
