Liked: Cleanliness
The room was nice. I didnt see anything in the room and wasnt told at checkin no housekeeping. I called to call for towels. When I came back to the room after being gone the room had not been cleaned. Just tell the guest if you dont have housekeeping unless requested. At check in I do not think the check in person was courteous. I was rattled by the parking garage as I was almost stuck. You should definitely tell people your parking garage is meant for compact cars. The small SUV in front of me had the worst time too. We both left your garage after about 30 min of trying to park and basically get out. I was able to find parking in the lot across the street. ot what I wanted, outside parking and in rain, the lot was flooded in spots. When I told the check in person about the garage she looked at me and said nothing. then responded yep its like that. I told her if it wasnt late and I was not going to be charged I would look for a room elsewhere. Not to mention standing outside a locked door and ringing to get in no one helping. A guest coming in opened for me. She told me the door doesnt lock until 9 but...somoene walked up and said its locking and they are looking at it. This stay was ot what I expected from Marriott. I love Marriots. It was a disappointment only in regards to hotel and parking. Loved the location and felt it was safe. Thankfully there was that.

Disliked: Amenities
About the worst experience I have every had - Parking lot very poorly designed making it hard to navigate the way too narrow ramps without damaging car, and signs regarding availability of parking were not conveniently placed and clear - the hundreds of damage marks showed that this problem was not limited to just a few people; additionally, on-site restaurant menu options were not varied enough nor appealing
