We have stayed at this location a couple of times in the past 4 years that our daughter is at UA. This time was not so great. The exhaust fan in the bathroom wasn't working. There was mold in the shower. On Saturday I asked for clean towels and was told the hotel was full and there were no clean towels to come back at noon. When I went back at 1pm there were still no clean towels. We went down for breakfast on Friday (9:45) yes breakfast ends at 10. But there was nothing. Only juice. And it the food area was filthy. We were supposed to stay another night but asked for a refund and left on Saturday. We always try to stay at a Marriott any time we travel, but will not be going back to this location.
